Hey PSP Owners - Here's How To Use PSP Game Downloads!


By Dave Freeman

If you have a PSP, you almost certainly have heard that there are ways to download PSP games, movies and other files for your device. This can be a great way to keep your PSP filled with all the latest games, which will keep you endlessly entertained. So if you're one of these many PSP owners, then you will probably be asking, as have so many others "How do I download PSP games?".

To download PSP games, there are a few different ways to go. Some are free, some not, some even potentially hazardous to your computer's health! We're going to briefly look at these options.

You will probably run across a few website that offer "free" PSP game downloads. However, the old saying "you get what you pay for" comes to mind here! Since you aren't paying a dime, these websites have all sorts of problems associated with them. In fact, several have been shut down in recent months for distributing viruses, spyware and other infections.

These websites are operated on little to no money, and have no incentive (e.g. profit) to make sure files submitted are valid and free of hazards, there are often corrupt files to be found - meaning that they do not work once downloaded. Even worse, the download speeds on these sites are very very slow, so you may spend a whole day downloading a file, which turns out to be useless.

Obviously, I am no friend of these "free" PSP download websites. They are at best a waste of your time, and at worst can do serious damage to your computer.

The best way to download PSP games is to join a "membership" site that specializes in PSP downloads. You will have to pay a small fee, but it easily pays for itself after a download or two. By joining this type of website, you are dealing with a reputable business that invests money in making sure that all downloads work, are downloaded quickly and are guaranteed to be 100% virus and spyware free.

It is amazing that not more PSP users are aware of these websites. The fees are generally less than the cost of a single new PSP game, and allow members to download any file provided by the site, any time the user wants. Some sites even give members the software they need to transfer their downloads to a PSP

Look for a membership site that only charges a one-time fee for a lifetime membership. For $35-$50 you will be able to download anything you want (including new releases) whenever you want without having to pay again. Some of the sites charge a monthly or "per-download" fee - I suggest avoiding these as you can find a better deal elsewhere.

Downloading games for your PSP is a wonderful thing, and saves PSP gamers lots of money and time. Just trying to find parking can sometimes take longer than downloading a game, for instance - and wouldn't you rather be enjoying your new games in minutes and spending more time with your PSP?
