How to Get Online With Your PSP Without Using Wireless Internet

Whereas previous versions of the Sony PSP were only Internet accessible through a Wi-Fi connection, the PSPGo model has increased capability for Internet connection. The PSPGo is a smaller version of the PSP console, offering increased functionality through a built-in hard drive and Bluetooth capability. The inclusion of Bluetooth increases the device's options for accessing the Internet, giving it the capability of connecting to an Internet-ready Bluetooth device, such as a cellphone, for connection.
