If you’re the lucky owner of a PSP there’s a good chance you have heard about the ability to download games, movies and music and use them on your system. It’s a great way to keep your PSP stocked with all the newest games and make sure you never get bored! One of the most common questions we get from PSP users is “How Do I Download PSP Games?”

There are a couple of options for this so let’s take a closer look into it shall we?

The first thing you should remember when looking for downloadable games is that you get what you pay for. This is especially true for sites that say they offer free games, movies, music and more for PSPs. Free sites usually give you a lot more than free downloads and I don’t mean that as a good thing. You will find that many games, movies and music come with viruses and spyware attached.

Because the websites do not make a profit from their users they get the downloads for random people that also use their site. These downloads are not official PSP downloads and are more than likely corrupt, meaning they will not play at all or work right. Downloads are usually very slow and like I said before, they could be loaded with viruses and spyware.

As I’m sure you can tell, I’m not a fan of these so-called free PSP download sites. They can harm your computer, waste your time and cause a lot of headaches.

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 always surprises me that there aren’t more people using these websites. The cost of one of these sites is less than the price of one new game and your membership gives you access to unlimited PSP game downloads (along with movies, music, roms etc). The best sites will also provide you with the software you need to transfer the files to your PSP.

The best paid sites are the ones that only charge the one time fee. For a small fee of $30 to $50 you will be able to download whatever you want without ever having to spend another dime. By choosing sites like these you are ensured that you are downloading from reputable businesses. These businesses work hard to make sure their downloads work, download quickly and are virus and spyware free.

One of the best features of the PSP is the ability to download games, movies and music instead of having to but them at the stores. Not only will it save you a lot of money in the long-run, but you will als be sure your PSP is fully stocked with the newest games without ever having to make a trip to the store. Happy gaming!
