PSP Videos

The Sony PlayStation Portable (PSP) has really introduced true portable gaming to the world. Besides its own great features, the PSP can also be used as a personal media player. This feature has helped make the PSP so popular today. You can play music on the PSP, as well as watch movies and TV shows. This is all very well, but if you had to go through the official channels to purchase games, music and movies for your PSP, this will soon become a very expensive form of entertainment. However, millions of PSP users use their PSP system without the huge expense of buying individual music and movie files. Smart PSP owners know where to download games, music and movies for their PSP without paying too much money, or being tempted to get "free" downloads off the Internet. The so called "free" downloads are simply files infested with spyware and malware, ready to extract your personal information from your computer.

You may have heard of a PSP Download membership site, called PSP Blender, which is hugely popular with the PSP community. I have read some criticisms of this site and it is these concerns that a few people have which I am addressing in this article. The main complaint that some have is that PSP Blender is just a site that redirects you to bit-torrent, or Peer-to-peer (P2P), networks which, as you probably are aware, are free. To be quite honest, if you have the time and know where to look online, you can find downloads for your PSP on P2P sites and then download them at no cost. One area you need to careful with, though, is that many P2P sites have pirated media files and downloading these is illegal. The best way to get game downloads for your PSP, for example, is to get a homebrewed game that has been written and distributed for public use and has no copyright protection on it. Sadly, Sony has not encouraged the development of homebrew games because of its own commercial interests and so there is no official channel for game developers to promote their legally-distributed homebrew games.

Because of this, there are plenty of dodgy programmers writing games with bad, or dangerous, code written in the game. So getting downloads for your PSP from unofficial P2P sites, and elsewhere, can really be a minefield for obtaining damaging software and viruses. I hear all the time of people downloading malicious files and then finding their PSP becomes "bricked" (broken). Personally, I don't mind paying the small cost of a PSP Blender membership as I know that they carefully choose the P2P networks they link to, and even provide the software for downloading files in the membership price.
