A Description of How to Download a Video in Your PSP

The Sony Playstation Portable is a versatile gaming device that also allows you to listen to music, surf the Internet and watch videos. In order to download a video file to your PSP and watch it, the file must be in a format that is compatible with the console. High-definition videos can be rented or purchased through the PlayStation Network and downloaded straight to your PSP, but videos from other sources can be converted and transferred to the PSP.
