If you’ve just bought your PSP you are probably concerned about the prices of the games. One alternative to buying games is to download them from websites. You need to be careful however as some sites are illegal while others are legal. Many free sites have proved to be illegal whereas the membership style sites are legal.
You can either join one where you will be expected to pay either a yearly or monthly subscription fee or there are ones which just you require you to pay a one time life time membership fee. Both of these kinds of sites will then generally allow you unlimited access to all the games that they have stored within their databases.
Downloading files for you PSP is a simple as downloading then files to your PC then transferring them to your PSP. You should of course make sure that you have the right software on you PC first of all.
All of the most reputable membership sites should provide you with the correct software. The first step to getting the files is to sign up to one of the sites. Choose whether you want the monthly payment which is usually around $15 or a one time membership site what will cost you in the region of $39 for unlimited lifetime access. After your payment has been confirmed you’ll have access to the correct software and the sites database of files. You can then start to download the games and movies you want.
You’ll first download the games or movies to your local hard drive on your PC or laptop. Once you have them then it’s time to transfer them to your PSP. The membership site you’ve chosen should provide you with easy to follow instructions. Of all the sites we reviewed PSPnerd had by far the best.
In order to do this you will need either a USB cable (which connects your PSP directly to your PC) or using a compatible memory stick. Once the PSP has been connected to your PC using a USB cable then it is simply a case of you transferring the game from the file where it has been saved after being downloaded from the site directly on to your PSP.
It is preferable to use the USB method where possible, as it is very rare for problems to occur. As soon as the cable is plugged in to both devices the PSP should appear on your PC. Then it is just a simple matter of dragging and dropping the files from the PC to the PSP. The only problems happen when you have used a file with the wrong extension or you have placed them into the wrong folder on the PSP.
If you haven’t downloaded games to your PC before or are not sure how to do it then you should check out the reviews of the different PSP download sites. There are some significant differences between them all.
