Instructions
Flip the WLAN switch to the on position.
Power on the PSP and press the "Home" button to bring up the Home menu.
Navigate to the "PlaystationNetwork" logo and select "Account Management" by pressing the "X" button.
Select "Account Details" and then "Billing information." If you are asked for your PlaystationNetwork login, input the email address and password you used to create your PlaystationNetwork account. If you do not have one, you can sign up for one under Resources.
Follow the on-screen prompts to input your credit card information and billing address. When finished, press "X" to save this information.
Navigate right to the "PlaystationNetwork" logo and select "Playstation Store" by pressing the "X" button.
Choose the Wireless Internet connection you use to connect to your wireless hotspot. If you haven't connected to the Internet with your PSP before, select "[New connection]" and follow the on-screen prompts to set up the Internet connection. You'll have to first "scan" for your wireless network, input any passwords or security keys, and then select the "Address Settings." Once you have tested or selected the connection, connect to the store.
Select "Downloadable Games" or "PSone Classics" to browse the selection of downloadable games for the PSP. Downloadable games are organized into "PSP Games," "PlaystationNetwork Exclusives" (titles you can only find in this store, not in retail stores), and "Minis" (small, more casual games.) You can also find a host of free game demos under the "Demos" section.
Scroll through the list of available games until you see one you would like to play. Press "X" to bring up the details screen and read about the game. From here, you can either "Buy Now" or "Add to Cart." If you would like to continue shopping, select "Add to Cart" and "Return to shopping."
Select "Buy Now" or "View Cart" when ready to check out. You can also view the cart by selecting the cart-shaped icon in the upper-right corner of the screen.
Select "Proceed to Checkout." Follow the on-screen prompts to finalize the purchase and begin the download.
Wait for the download and installation process to finish. When it is complete, you will find the game under the "Game" section of the Home menu.
