How to Download Games to a PSP Memory Stick

The Sony PlayStation Portable has the ability to download and play games off a Memory Stick. In fact, the PSP Go, which does not have a UMD disc player, relies on downloaded games played directly from the Memory Stick. No matter which PSP you have, you can download games directly to the PSP from the PlayStation Store or transfer them from your PSP using Media Go.
