How to Transfer Games From a PC to a PSP For Free

Downloading games is an integral part of making the most of your PSP. Some games are only available as digital downloads, as are many demos. Furthermore, the PSP Go only uses digital copies of games and thus requires knowledge of how to download games. Luckily, Sony makes the process easier by providing the "Media Go" software (previously known as "Media Manager Pro") to let you transfer games from your PC to your PSP for free.

PSP
PlayStation Network account
"Media Go"
PSP USB cable

  Set up a PlayStation Network account. This can be done through PlayStation.com (see Resources for a link to the sign-up page). Fill out each form completely, including credit card information if you wish to purchase games. If you only wish to download free demos, it is not required.

  Open up "Media Go." Continue to the PlayStation Store; sign in with your PlayStation Network account before locating the game you wish to download.

  Connect your PSP to your computer via the PSP USB cable. Your PSP will enter USB mode and will be presented in "Media Go" as "[PSP Name]: Memory Stick."
