Hey PSP Owners - Here's How To Find Free PSP Downloads!

By Dave Freeman

It seems that everyone today has a PSP. This is already the most popular portable gaming system by far, and its user base just continues to grow. In view of this, we decided it would be a useful thing to provide a short look at how to find free PSP game downloads.

Something growing in parallel with the popularity of the PSP itself is PSP game downloads, rather than going to an electronics store to buy games. The convenience is certainly a big factor here, as is the dramatically lower price. To check out the latest games, all you need to do is go online.

Without further ado, here are three ways to find those free PSP downloads.

Option #1 - How To Find PSP Game Downloads

As a first step, a lot of people on the lookout for free PSP downloads simply employ a search engine. They enter "free PSP downloads" into Google, etc. and have a look.

Does this actually work?

Unfortunately, they usually do not. Plenty of websites boast of "free PSP downloads", but few deliver on this promise. There are issues you need to be aware of first.

As you might have guessed, these websites put your computer at a big risk of getting a virus or picking up some type of spyware. There isn't anyone monitoring the sites so all sorts of infections get uploaded and passed along.

One of our biggest beefs with these sites is that the download speeds are insanely slow. Since there isn't any money being invested in the websites so the downloads can seem to take forever.

One more problem that can leave you pulling your hair out - many of the games you download don't even work! There are all sorts of "corrupt" files on these sites which means you won't be able to use them at all.

Obviously, we're not going to recommend you use any of these sites. Approach them with great caution and at your own risk.

Option Two: Free PSP Downloads

After giving up on the first option, a lot of people try the following.

There are membership-only websites offering PSP downloads. You can download whatever you want, whenever you want (including PSP games, of course), for a monthly fee, generally around $30.

We're going to leave this option at this, because there is an even better way to get those PSP downloads.

Option #3 - Finding Free PSP Downloads

We saved the best for last, of course. This is the option that we truly feel comfortable recommending for finding PSP game downloads.

This would be membership based PSP game download sites which charge a one-time membership fee rather than a monthly one. Being billed only once for unlimited game and video downloads certainly beats paying month in and month out.

Membership in these sites costs anywhere between $30 and $50, and include the software you'll need to get your downloads where you need them to be: your PSP.

There is a link following this article so you can have a look at some of the top rated PSP download sites, and check them out with a free trial. Setup is quick and easy, taking no more than ten minutes.

Unlike the sites discussed in option #1, these sites are run by companies who invest in them. They have the motivation to make sure their customers are well taken care of, lest their reputation suffer. Because of this, they make sure downloads are fast and files are checked before being made available for download, as well as ensuring access to all of the latest PSP games.

Watch for sales in stores to fall as more and more consumers choose to download PSP games. Being that PSP game downloads are far more convenient, as well as cheaper than shopping for them at stores, this trend is sure to continue, and is a great way to keep your PSP filled with the latest in movies and games. Happy gaming!
