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?”

You have a few options to download psp games - some are risky and others are not. Let’s take a closer look at what I mean.

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.

These websites do not make any money and because of this their downloads are provided by random people. The downloads are not official and many times end up being corrupt, or in other words they do not work right or at all. Downloads speeds are usually very slow and many times you will find that what you downloaded was not what it was supposed to be.

As you might have guessed, we can’t recommend these websites to PSP users. They’re risky and it’s easy to waste a lot of time by using them.

The best way to download music, movies and best of all, games for your PSP is to join a membership site. These sites can have one-time membership fees; monthly membership fees or pay per download fees. The costs of these memberships are usually less than buying a new game. You are ensured that by joining a membership site you will get quality, virus and spyware free.

It is a wonder why more people have not decided to join membership sites. Since you only have to pay one-time (and less than the cost of one game!) it offers tremendous value.

Try to avoid websites that charge monthly or “per-download” fees. Your best bet is to choose a website that only charges a one-time fee for a lifetime membership.

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!
