How to Download Demos on PS3

In addition to its gaming, media and Blu-Ray capabilities, Sony's PlayStation 3 game console can connect to the Internet and access the free PlayStation Network online service. PlayStation Network users can play games online, browse websites and download movies, games and media from the PlayStation Store. One of the most useful sections of the PlayStation Store is the "demos" tab, where users can download and play short sections of games for free. This allows users to try games out before buying them, and can save gamers the headache of buying a bad game.
