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 few options available for downloading PSP games. Some free, some risky for your computer, some neither of these. Let's examine these options.

You may have already seen some sites which say they have "free" PSP game downloads. Now, as you may know, you do get what you pay for in many cases, and this would be one of those. Many of these sites are full of spyware, viruses and other things you just don't want on your computer. If you must go visit these sites, well, you have been warned.

Run with no money behind them, and no profit motive driving the owners to make things safe and useful for visitors, these sites are a veritable minefield for your computer. Spyware and viruses aside, these sites allow anyone to upload files, meaning that free PSP game download could well be another file entirely, or a corrupt, unplayable file. The unbelievably slow download speeds on these sites mean that you could waste a lot of time finding this out as well.

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 membership sites charging a one-time fee are your best bet. For as little as $30, you can have a lifetime membership and download anything at any time. There are others that offer monthly fees, or on a per-download basis, but these are not such a good deal.

Being able to download games for your PSP is one of its coolest features. You need never go to a store to find new games, movies, even music for your PSP. This saves you a lot of time and money both while keeping your PSP fully stocked.
