How to Send Games to Your PSP Using a Computer

Sony's PlayStation Portable (PSP) offers a range of uses, from browsing the Internet to watching movies. However, its main purpose is to play video games. Previously, this was only possible using game that you purchased on UMDs. Since the release of the PSP Go in 2009, however, Sony has offered downloadable games, as the PSP Go has no UMD drive. You can download these games for older models of the PSP as well, not only the PSP Go.
