The thing that makes the PSP so unique is that it allows users to download PSP games, music, and movies directly off of the internet directly to a memory stick. This feature has enabled people to open up large databases of PSP games, movies and also music. These sites however charge a entrance fee, usually a one-time fee that is rather low compared to the amount of content you receive.
Let me explain, If you were to go to your ordinary game store or even Walmart, you would end up shelling out anywhere from 20 to 30 dollars for a game maybe less if the game has been used or is older. Even if you buy the game off a friend you still will probably have to pay at least 1/3 of the original price which still sets you back about $10. Then you just have the one game.
On the other hand if you choose to purchase a membership to a PSP website the entrance fee is around 35 to 40 dollars for a life time membership, with no additional charges or fees. Now if you were to download just two games you will have paid the same price as if you were to have bought the games at the store, except you will still have access to thousands of more games, movies and music and won’t have to pay anymore!
So the answer to your question is yes, PSP sites are worth the price. If you ask me, you would be crazy not to enroll in a PSP download site, because who just wants to play one game all of the time? The trick however is to find a trustworthy website. Also, be careful of the PSP download sites that offer free PSP downloads. These sites are not monitored very well and cause you more trouble than they are worth. The best way to go about it is to find a trusted site that has a small entry fee, this lets you know that the site will be updated constantly and will have good quality games and videos, and also be free of spyware and adware.
Now, the answer to the second question, how do these PSP download sites work? The first thing you would do is, download the file from the site to your computer, then use a USB cable to transfer the game to your PSP. When the PSP is connected to the PC, drag and drop the PSP game files downloaded onto the PC directly to the memory stick. Also make sure the game files are sent to the right folder on your PSP.
After the PSP game files are fully transferred to the memory stick turn off the PSP and disconnect it from the computer. To access the PSP game files downloaded, select Games on the main menu and then the memory stick option. A list of the PSP game files downloaded should appear in the list. It is that simple.
The best places to find good quality games and movies are usually at the unlimited download sites. They have tons of games, movies and music, some even have playstation themes and music videos but not all. These sites are the top of the line sites and usually cost around $40 to have access to their large database of files. The value of these download areas is far greater than the small one-time fee needed for membership.
