How to Play Saved Games on Your PSP

The Sony PSP is a portable device capable of browsing the internet, playing music and movies and, of course, playing video games. PSP games are distributed as a game disc called UMD, but Sony also releases games as downloads only on its Playstation Network. These downloaded games are saved to the PSP memory stick, which allows you to carry many games at once. Playing your saved games is much like playing your regular games.
