How to Download PS3 Game Content

The PlayStation Store offers hundreds of downloadable add-ons (DLCs) to PlayStation 3 users. By logging into the PlayStation Store from your PS3, you can download these DLCs directly to your console's hard drive. Some of these DLCs are free, while others require you to spend money from your PlayStation store "wallet." Because of the way that the "PlayStation Store" is set up, you cannot purchase DLCs directly with a credit or debit card. Instead, you must first put money into the store wallet, which can then be used for your purchase.
