How to Download Games to a PSP-3000

The Sony PlayStation Portable model 3000 is the third rendition of the handheld console. It features a slim design, a high resolution screen, and video output. It is also the last version of the console to support UMD games. Through the vast PlayStation store, you have the ability to download games and store them on your memory stick instead of lugging around a library of UMD discs.
