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.
There are quite a few sites which claim to provide free PSP game downloads. Let the buyer beware, disregard that you are not actually “buying” anything. You get what you pay for, generally and a lot of these sites are riddled with viruses and spyware.
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.
We here, as you may have guessed are not all that fond of these websites. You’d really be better off avoiding these sites entirely.
The best choice for PSP owners looking to download PSP games are the membership sites. These sites are usually not too expensive to join, and offer playable, virus and spyware free files for the enjoyment of their users. They take the time and effort to test files, since their users are their customers. These sites are generally reputable business operations, and definitely a better bet than any of the “free” sites.
Really, more PSP users should be members of these sites. Usually costing less than just one new PSP game, the membership entitles you to download PSP games, movies, audio and more anytime you want. The best of these also furnish members with the needed software to move these files to their PSP units.
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?
