Downloading and installing games on the PSP is very easy. All you need to do is search and browse for a PSP game online and transfer it into your memory stick or internal memory. Many of the PSP games found online are available in UMD format, which is basically a copy of the game with no modifications. PSP downloads are usually large files so you may need to download an Internet download manager if your connection is slow.
The library of games in these download stations are huge, from top games in 2008, previewed games for 2009, classic games, and even games that are meant for other platforms. The greatest games of all time are Tekken: Dark Resurrection, Dexter, Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII, Patapon, and Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops.
Podcasting was first brought to Apple with the iTunes. Now you can download podcast shows for the PSP and it is even better because you can browse for shows with your Wi-Fi connection. To download a podcast, type the URL of the show in the browser’s address bar. Then you can play the stream, download it, or add it in your RSS feeds.
The latest firmware for PSP has a native music player which is sleek and tightly integrated with the hardware. You can transfer your downloaded music from your iTunes or just copy paste files from your hard drive to your memory stick. PSP plays MP3 formats, but you might have to download some plugins to play other music formats.
Downloading and playing movies in PSP is trickier than playing music. Videos have more formats and it is likely that you have to convert most videos first before you can watch them in your PSP.
