How to Increase the Memory of a PSP 32MB Memory Stick

The Sony PlayStation Portable is a handheld game console, and as of publication date, there are four different models available. Games and movies can be played on three of them --- the PSP 1000, PSP 2000 and PSP 3000 --- by either using the UMD (Universal Media Disc) drive or downloading media onto the memory stick. These PSP models use the Sony Memory Stick format for removable storage, with capacity as small as 32MB. Those who want more storage space for games, movies and other media can swap out their old Sony Memory Stick for a larger one.
