How to Download Games to PSP From PS3

Since both the Sony PlayStation 3 (PS3) and Sony PlayStation Portable (PSP) are capable of downloading games and content from the PlayStation Store, there may come a time where you want to download games and content using your PS3 and play your PSP while you wait. Downloading using your PS3 and transferring PSP-compatible titles to the handheld is easy, requiring nothing more than a USB cable to connect the two consoles. You can even use the same USB cable used when charging your PlayStation 3's controllers.
