How to Download Music Straight to a PS3

In the early years of video games when the technology was basic, gaming systems had no secondary capabilities. Modern gaming systems like the PlayStation 3 offer cutting-edge video gaming and far more. With the ability to connect to the Internet, play Blu-ray discs and stream movies, the PlayStation 3 is more of a media center than a video game machine. One of the most utilized features of the third-generation PlayStation is its ability to download music. The process is simple and can be performed by anyone.
