Discover How You Can Find Free PSP Game Downloads

By Dave Freeman

Sony has got to be absolutely thrilled with the success of the PSP. It's a massively popular game system that keeps on setting sales records for portable gaming systems. If you are lucky enough to own one, we wanted to show you how you can find free PSP game downloads that you can start using right away.

Downloading PSP games is a great way to pick up new games and something that more and more gamers are doing. Not only can you save a whackload of cash, but it's also nice to be able to find a new game just by firing up your computer!

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

First Option - PSP Downloads

Many gamers will try to find PSP downloads by typing in "free PSP downloads" into a search engine.

Does this actually work?

Sadly, nothing useful appears. While there will be sites offering "free PSP game downloads", there will always be a catch (or a few). Be wary of these sites.

Sites like these are a great place to get your computer infected with viruses and spyware. Sadly, there are malicious characters out there who upload infected files to these sites - and they tend to be loosely monitored, if they are at all.

Besides the obvious risks, downloads from these sites are incredibly slow. There's no money behind these sites, so server capacity is poor.

Another headache is that many files that you download don't even work. There's a lot of "corrupt" files that are on these websites.

This option isn't one that we recommend - it's just too risky.

Second Option - Free PSP Game Downloads

The second option is definately better than the first and has grown fairly popular with PSP users.

There are websites that offer PSP downloads when you sign up as a member. They offer games, movies and music for download (the downloads are fast and the files work), but there is monthly membership fee of around $30. By paying this fee, you can download games whenever you want.

We aren't going to go more in depth into this option, simply because the next one gives you a better way to find PSP games without having to pay a monthly fee.

Third Option - PSP Game Downloads

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

There are 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.

Typically these memberships cost about $35 - $45. Once you sign up you get instant access to all the games, movies and other files and you also are supplied with the software that you need to transfer the files onto your PSP (you download this software instantly).

You can use the link at the bottom of this article to find out how to start a free trial at a couple of the top-ranked PSP download websites. It takes about 10 minutes to set everything up.

Because the companies that run these websites want to make a profit, you can take comfort in knowing that they make sure their customers are happy. This means a huge selection of games, fast downloads and strong customer service.

My favorite part of downloading PSP games is that you never have to worry about forking over your money when you want to try a new game. It's a great to build up a huge selection of games for your system and guarantee yourself that you never get bored! Enjoy! - 16003
