How to Put Videos on the PSP 3001

The Sony PlayStation Portable model 3001 is the second version of the PSP Slim. It was released in 2008 and features a brighter screen with better glare resistance and a built-in microphone for use with online gaming and the portable Skype application. Like other versions of the PSP, the 3001 model allows you to download videos from your computer onto the Memory Stick so you can watch them on the go. All you need is a standard USB cable, which is not included with the system.
