Peter Nisbet asked:


The term ‘legal P2P file sharing services’ is a redundant one, since all fire sharing services are legal. It is the use to which they are put that is sometimes illegal – rather more than ’sometimes’ in most cases. That, however, no more makes the platform illegal than ticket cheaters make rail travel illegal. Are radio transmissions illegal because they can be recorded for personal use? Of course not! Are video recorders illegal to own just because they can be used to record copyrighted work illegally? Of course not! Is the software that allows people to copy articles from article directories illegal, or even the directories themselves? Again, of course not. Then why is P2P file sharing software illegal? Why is it that so many advertising agencies look down on P2P software so much that they will not allow their adverts to be placed upon websites promoting such software or enabling file sharing to take place? The majority won’t even allow adverts for peer to peer sites or for the software involved. This appears to be a reaction based upon personal opinion and not the true legal situation. It is not illegal to use P2P software, and both paid and free peer to peer software is legal. The same is true of P2P services that don’t urge visitors to break copyright law. There are not many differences between free P2P software and membership services. The benefits of paying a lifetime membership fee include accelerated download speed, improved search facilities, information about the quality of the download options, support and optional file storage as compared to the raw free source Gnutella software. Who is going to wait several hours when it can be done in one or two? Paid sites do not come with the spyware and adware that free ones often contain. Using free file sharing software can be dangerous and very costly, and the cost of a lifetime membership is minimal compared to the cost of a repair or even a new laptop. Sure, a fine can be very costly, but only if it can be proved that you have broken the law. It is illegal to download copyrighted audio and video files, and that is inarguable by anyone. It cannot be argued that downloading unprotected movies, games and music is illegal, and much of it has been produced and put online precisely for that purpose: to be downloaded so that the artiste becomes better known and sells more of his or her work once it is known. How does it get known? Only by being played and listened to. Here are some reasons why free P2P file downloading is regarded a useful tool by many budding new singers and movie-makers: 1. To have their name associated with a specific style of music or movie genre. 2. To determine the reaction of the public to new movies or tunes. If initial reactions to the free P2P downloads are favorable, then a full version might be considered worth recording. 3. To determine how the public react to novel ideas in making movies. 4. To enable amateur movie-makers and singers to get public reaction to their work before deciding to go to the expense of shooting a whole movie, or recording an album. Launching new talent can be extremely costly, and this form of market reseasrch is extremely valuable for the industry, whether professional or amateur. Yet the movie moguls and music pros want to stop them from doing so. I wonder why. . . Agreed, many movies and music tracks are illegally downloaded, but don’t get over-excited about it. These are the same guys that will say nothing if kids listen a to rack on their album, and then buy the album because they liked the preview. That is where they make a large proportion of their income. Agreed, it is wrong to download copyrighted material, but court is not necessarily the best way to deal with it, especially when done by fans and not for profit. Why do they prosecute the kids and their moms and leave the big boys alone – the ones that download copyright-protected tracks and movies and make milions by selling them on pirated DVDs and CDs. Too difficult? Leave the kids and their poor moms alone and get after the professionals – or are they unable to be as clever as the Chinese and beat them at their own game? P2P file sharing is not illegal. Free P2P sites are not illegal. Downloading and copying movies, games and music that is protected by copyright law is illegal. Stop banning what is not illegal and target what is: marketing untold thousands of CDs, DVDs and games andelling them to kids on street corners or flea markets that could easily download their own copyright-free material were they permitted to do so – in fact exactly what P2P software was designed to do.

Whenever a problem arises on the PS3 console most rush down to the store they bought it from and ask for it to be repaired or have it replaced. The tricky thing about this is it can take a very long time to get things done. Even though Sony have qualified technicians that can fix any PS3 error or failure that can occur the wait time and money spend can be very frustrating. What people are unaware of is alot of errors that pop up cna easlily be fixed it a PS3 repair guide. These guides show you step by step how to tackle problems known, they’re easy to follow and you don’t need to be a rocket scientist to use one.

As I mentioned earlier some PS3 problems can be fixed by just adjusting the settings on your console. One annoying error that gamers are experiencing is the PS3 hdmi problem, this can easily fixed by simpily checking whether the HDMI inputs are plugged in the correct slots allocated for this display. A PS3 repair guide will take you by the hand and tell you exactly what tasks you need to do.

HDMI cables use only one type of input to your tv or PS3 so its basically impossible to plug the cable into the wrong slot. So after you set your tv to the display the proper input signal be sure you check if the high definition cable is where its suppose to be. One advantage of hdmi is that audio and display are both carried on the same cable making it more efficient.

However if you using the traditonal RCA composite cables there’s greater chance of misplacing the cables in the wrong input connections. Being component there are three inputs – audio, which is one red and one white (R/L) and a video cable usually yellow. All use the same type of input into your tv so its easy to plug either cable in the wrong slot. If one of these is in the wrong socket no video or audio can be transmitted.

If you are still not sure then just refer to the PS3 repair guide on how to fix your PS3 error. Another quick solution that works is resetting the internal video settings of the PS3 if there’s still no display to the tv screen. This is a common reason why no video is display on most TV’s. Your console has multiple display settings that are compatble with most modern televisions and just by making a few adjustments can go along way to fixing the display dilema.

To demonstrate how to reset your display for the tv, switch off your console at the power button, wait for 10-12 seconds while leaving your finger on the power and it will automatically roll back to the default resolution (480p). All televisions support this display so to play it safe you can run it that is display setting to fix the PS3 hdmi error.

There’s a wealth of information to be found on the internet and when doing a quick search online you’ll discover PS3 repair guides that can teach you how to combat any technical issue that can occuer on your Playstation console. A manual of this sort can save lots of time and frustration , there’s nothing more annoying than waiting for weeks, months to have your console repaired. After a while you’ll be fixing your own console and even open up the doors to repairing your friends systems as well.

Emerson Swanson asked:




Presently, there are a lot of gaming systems coming out of the market with features that you never thought you would ever see in a game system. In the past, a game system is ordinarily just a game system with simple graphics and an even simpler game play. However, with today’s technology, game systems have evolved to a new level. Not only are game systems today used for games, but it can now be used as a medium for different entertainment purposes.

Game systems today can now play DVD movies, play music CDs, and can even play MP3s. The possibilities and potential of game systems being developed today are endless. You can now connect through the internet using your game system and play with other people from all over the world.

In the past, you may just imagine that a game system can only be played locally through two players. However, because of the advancement in computer and communications technology, game systems today now have the capability to connect to the internet wirelessly.

Now, you can even connect the latest game system available in the market to your own PC by using the USB port. If your PC has USB ports, you will be able to connect different game consoles in your PC.

For example, if you have a PSP or PlayStation Portable, you can plug it in your PC and download or upload MP3s, pictures, and videos. With this kind of feature, you can now have the capability to transfer files from one PC to another by just using your PSP. Another great thing about this is that your PSP will be able to charge through the USB port.

There are even USB cables that are capable of converting your gaming system’s controllers and use it to play with your favorite PC games. By simply purchasing this kind of adaptor, you will never need to purchase expensive controllers for your PC. All you have to do is purchase a USB adaptor for your game console’s controller and you can start playing your PC games by using the controller.

New versions of the game consoles that are being developed by game system manufacturers are now making use of the USB port to connect to your home PC for maximum features.

With all the different game consoles coming out of the market with USB capability, you could only imagine what these machines will be capable of after its release in the market. With what gaming consoles were before, you can see how short the evolution of these machines. You may even remember playing with the simple game systems that only consists of simple graphics and sounds.

Now, with USB capability, you can truly maximize the way you play your game and also maximize the use of your gaming console. Gaming systems are no longer limited to playing games; you can now maximize its use through the USB port.

In the very near future, you can most probably store MP3’s, picture files, and videos in your game system’s memory cards by just using your USB port. Maybe even transfer your computer files to a DVD or CD by connecting your DVD burning capable game console through USB and write your computer files on DVD by using your DVD burner integrated in the game console.

Internet connection through USB connection is now also possible. If you don’t have an online adapter installed in your game console, there are available adaptors that can take advantage of your PC internet connection and let your game system connect to the internet by just using the USB connector in your PC.

With the different technology now available in the market, you can now make use of your PC to benefit your game system or your game system to benefit your PC. Who knows? Maybe in the near future, game systems will be able to let you play head to head with PC gamers by just using a USB connector.

The possibilities that the USB offers are endless. You can download MP3s, videos, and even pictures from your PC to your handheld game systems, you can use your game system’s controllers for your PC and other benefits by just using the USB port in your PC to connect to your game systems.

NonameHifi Ozhan Atalay asked:




9. Grounding the Metals for Static Electricity; especially in wet weather and in fully carpeted listening environments, static electric become an issue. The carpet is charged with static electric which can be passed through the electronic equipments via the rack and/or via human touch. Static electricity on the carpet is such powerful that when checked in the morning before somebody walks on it, can be clearly seen by simple tools sold in Radio Shack

In order to eliminate the effect, the loudspeaker stands and the equipment racks should be connected to earth by a thin wire. Moreover, the loudspeaker cables and interconnects should be lifted away from the floor due to the same effect.

What benefits you may expect from this tweak is I don’t know why but less blurry and more tide lower bass.

10. Loudspeaker Distance from the Front Wall; Loudspeaker producers generally recommend the distance of the speaker by the front wall (the wall behind the speakers). Generally speaking, the speaker should be located as far as possible from the front wall. (Side walls as well) If they are so close to the wall, bass standing waves will be reinforced (explained in article five) and mid/treble band will be compressed due to excessive bass energy.

Some audiophiles find the desired bass volume by placing them closer to front wall which is not correct. One thing should be considered that such bass increase is not due to the original sound but it is the consequence by the room response called coloration.

11. Auto former / Transformer Passive Line Stages; The new developed technologies in hi-end industry made the pre-amplifiers questionable.

Before end, the reason of a preamplifier was stipulated in four basics;

a- To connect more then one unit together

b- Recording to tape from some sources

c- Low volume output and inverted polarity signal of turntables (as the only source component)

d- Bass, treble adjustment requirements

Nowadays, CD, SACD units can provide 5-8 Volts of outputs which are more than enough for the power amplifiers. Audiophiles are not interested in tone adjustments but focused on simplicity anymore. Dedicated phono stages are in common usage, hence, the majority of the requirements are not valid anymore.

The main and the only basic job of a modern pre-amplifier is to lower the volume level, not step it up !!

Just try to imagine a pure signal from a CD, or DAC through the power amplifier, then cut this link, add four plugs, four female plugs, a pair of interconnects, lots of resistors, capacitors, tubes, transistors and all that stuff in the link. How can you keep the signal purity and can you make something better then its original !

An active line stage demolishes the neutrality and the purity of the original sound. Such a corruption may not be so evident in most of the lower resolution systems or disregarded by some people on purposely. Every active line stage has its own tonality and coloration. As a matter of fact, audiophiles generally use line stages to balance their tonality problems in systems. For instance, a tube line stage is used to calm down a firm sounding solid state power amplifier or a treble rich line stage is used to compensate the treble poor power amplifier and vice versa. If this is the case in a system, fully natural line stage and lack of coloration will not be regarded by the audiophile.

Following me, the consideration should be to change the power amplifier till finding the desired sound rather then playing with pre-amplifier. In other words, to deal with the original problem rather then trying to mask the problem.

It is almost in consensus that using a very simple volume pot adds so much neutrality and purity to sound. But in such cases, some other problems appear. A volume pot which is either a potentiometer or a stepped alternator works with the resistance principals. Every volume step adds different resistive path to signal, thus lowers the volume. Due to the complexity of the music signal ( 20 Hz-20 kHz), such a resistive load will act like a barrier for different frequencies. For instance when turning down the volume level, the treble is lowered and the bass is condensed or when you increase the volume, mids are excessive or vice versa. Not to forget to mention is the lack of dynamic range as well. A line stage eliminates these problems.

Due to these facts, volume control pots or analogue volume controlled CDs can not be used stand alone as line stages

By the new technology, new auto former and transformer passive line stages are developed for volume control.

Such units do not work with resistance principals and do not add resistance to the signal path. The only resistance of such amps is approximately 200 Ohms due to the cable in windings.

Transformer passive line stages consist of two transformers, one for the left channel, and one for the right. They have one primary winding and multiple (12-24 steps) of secondary windings. Their principal is to lover the volume by changing the volts, rather then adding resistance. Up to my knowledge, there are only three producers of such line stages. I used two of them. Both of them are providing extra ordinary natural, calm and undistorted sounds.

I heavily modified the Antique Sound Lab myself which is very good product and quite cheap too, (don’t underestimate its price) but Audio Consulting’s Silver Rock made of pure silver is something else.

It should be also mentioned that such a passive line stages can not be suitable for every system. In such a case, input impedance of power amp should be driven directly by the output stage of DAC or CD player. Input impedance of the power amp should be as small as possible. The best way to learn this case is to write the impedance values to producer and request assistance prior to purchasing.

12. Good Tubes (NOS Tubes); is it logical to pay 100? to and old tube while the new one costs 10 ? I believe it is. A good tube can change the characteristics of a tube electronic as if you replaced the entire unit. Nos tubes are not easy to find, quite expensive but worthwhile to use. Especially the upper frequency hiss is quite lower with Nos tubes.

13. Very Easy Polarity Finding Method; Generally speaking, European (German) standard AC plugs do not have the signal direction. US, UK, Swiss AC plugs have one way to connect to AC, so + and – phases can not. So in such cases, it is not easy to find out the correct polarity.

Electronic components can work properly regardless of the polarity. Our televisions, refrigerators, bulbs, computers everything. Why the AC polarity is quite important in Hi-Fi !

Electricity arrives from (+) passes the electronic circuit and departs from (-) Generally the mains current arrives in the power supply of the unit first then reduced to desired voltage by of the electronic circuits. At this case, mains is automatically filtered by the power supply section. The transformer of the power supply section behaves like isolation transformer, input and output currents are physically separated. If the polarity is not correct, the mains will arrive to system directly from the back door and will carry all the pollution like RFI/EMI into the unit. Due to the fact, it is important to find out the correct polarity.

Most of the electronic’ polarity is similar. If the unit has detachable power cord and IEC kind of input, the right hole should be the (+) mains when do you look at the plug front the front face (as seen below)

Another simple method is to check the mains fuses. If the unit is equipped with an exterior protection fuse, release the fuse and check it by an electricity check pen while the unit was connected to mains. It should be (+) signal. If not, reverse the AC plug from the wall

14. Listening Volume Level; It is for sure nobody’s business to tell you that what the correct listening volume setting is. Some audiophiles like very low listening level, some turn on the volume till the windows are broken.

If the outcome is to achieve the ambiance of the recorded venue, volume level should be adjusted accordingly but not more or not less. This case is applicable to acoustic instruments only but not to electronic music, jazz or disco etc.

What ever the listened record is, correct volume setting should be the one which does not enlarge or shrink the original instrument. Higher volumes may For instance a guitar should be played with the original volume of a guitar by correct volume setting. If volume level is increased, the body of the guitar will became bigger in obsolete terms, on the other hands, full body of a Mormon chorus will not be so realistic at low volumes

15. Warming Up the Speakers and Cables Before Critical Listening; Apart from the theory that “Solid state electronics provide their best sound for a few minutes till the transistors became warm.” every single audio equipment needs a warm up time. This time is at least 1/2 hour or even 1 hour in spite the manufacturers recommend less. Up to my knowledge, the reason behind this is the specifications of the resistors, capacitors, tubes and other stuff vary if they are cold or warm. Manufacturers make final settings when the units are warm, otherwise they would play perfect for the first half an hour and worse after warmed up.

That principal is applied by every audiophile for the electronics but not always for the speakers and the cables.

Speakers are quite important since their passive components should be warmed up such as crossover resistors. Their voice coils should be warmed up as well. The cables are also important. Warm up term may not eligible for the cables but the cables should be run for sometime till their dielectrics are charged.

As a result, the warming up time should be completed by playing (may not be listening) the entire system.

16. Proper Loudspeaker Selection for Listening Room; Loudspeaker should be selected in conjunction with the listening room dimensions. Unfortunately the general tendency in audiophiles particularly in US is “the bigger is better”

It is like some new starting skiers that choose the best ski equipments prior to learning and facing with so many problems afterwards.

Big loudspeakers are difficult to position, difficult to drive, affected more from the room boundaries. If the speaker is bigger for the room, excessive bass energy will diminish rest of the sounds. The bigger speaker means bigger problems. Driving big speakers requires challenge, experience, sources, time and money.

The Xbox is one of the most familiar console video gaming devices on the market. Bill Gates is rumored to have delayed its release for several years to include every bell and whistle of available technology to make it the ultimate gaming machine and one that everyone would want. Computers and the internet have made online gaming more attractive than console games to many game fans, so something was needed to boost the console concept. It was finally marketed late in 2001.

The console contains a basic computer chip and has multiple options for AV connections. It is compatible with standard AV cable, the RF connecter, TOSLINK audio and S-Video, SCART, and High Definition devices. The Xbox connect to Ethernet cable to a modem or router or as a wireless link. It can interface with a PC which greatly expands gaming potential and also has music capability as a player, a mixer or for karaoke. Accessories make it usable as a DVD player as well.

The controllers are an amazing collection of options and functions for Xbox. Far from the simple joystick and couple of buttons of the early console games, this controller looks more like the dashboard of a small plane. It comes in alternate models with two analog control sticks, a directional touch pad, six action buttons, Back and Start buttons, and slots for accessories. There’s even a memory card slot that allows games to be stored for later play.

Some games disable the memory card function to prevent cheating, but of course some Xbox addicts find hacks to get around some of the protections. One of the huge draws is the availability of an online multiplayer gaming service that lets a gamer play with anyone else who owns this console anywhere in the world. Instead of competing with games online, they just joined in.

There has been controversy over pricing for this game, with Europe complain that they were being overcharged as much as 100% over the US prices, and new version releases also have had inflated prices. Other complaints have centered on the content and violence of individual game releases. This also has been the same for other brands of similar game consoles.

Purchasing an Xbox provides an incredible range of entertainment possibilities for children and adults. Prices have become much lower, and games themselves are often traded or sold used at a great discount. It remains a much desired holiday or birthday gift and many homes have more than one.

Every owner must have a place to store their boat when not in use. There are many storage facilities and different storage options available. The cheapest and probably the best storage area for the boat is your own backyard. But some local laws do not allow storing huge items like boat in the yard.

Boat storage units should be clean, safe and affordable. Most of these are commonly found around big water areas. You have to check the units for durability. A good test is if it could hold up to extreme weather conditions as it will be most often exposed to it. There are spaces for lease where you could dock your boat safely in areas near the waters. And the boats are kept safer inside your storage.

There are things to consider in looking for a place to store your boat. Check for important features like climate controlled facility to protect your boat from harsh weather conditions. Choose the one with security guards and well lighted facility. Storage units with security cameras and facility that requires special code entry is a better option.

Some require a certain checklist prior to accepting your boat for storage. Remove all your valuable items before leaving your boat. Remove the spark plugs then spray its inside with fogging oil and then replace them but do not hook the wires up. Fill the gas tank but make sure there is a space for expansion. And add a stabilizer for the gas.

It is also important to do some safety precautions before storing your boat such as: Clean it thoroughly and remove the battery if you will leave it on the water during winter. Cover it with thick cloth or other materials even if kept inside a storage. If your boat is on the trailer make sure to put blocks underneath to support it. After winter, be sure to check everything before using the boat. Do not forget to check the fluids, bulbs, batteries, wires and plugs before its first use after a long storage to avoid troubles.   

Marinas offer wet docking services for very large boats. If you cannot pull your boat out of the water for storage, Marina is the place for you. They have been doing this for a long time. The boat owner can use the boat as a cabin or place to live in. Wet docking is only good for areas where the water never freezes.

A number of docking facilities now provide electricity, water hook ups, cable TV, telephone service, security and heated storage units. Staying on your boat can be an exciting experience. On the other hand, if you choose not to live on your boat, numerous marinas provide full winter protection for your boat. When your boat is wrapped up in storage be sure it can breathe to avoid mold and mildew formation.

Consider economy and practicality in looking for a good storage venue. Keeping your boat in a trailer on your driveway gives you a lot of benefits. You can sail or fish during one pleasant day in winter. You can navigate various bodies of water while saving on boat storage fees. But be sure to read safety guidelines and instructions on boat towing first.

Small boats can be stored in a stack rack. This is also known as dry stack rack storage. Rack storage keeps your boat in a covered shelter with trailer-like frames. This makes it convenient for the facility to lift and launched your boat when you need it. Lifting equipment also provides easy storing for your boat after using it.

The location of the storage facility should be near to your residence. The place must provide many opportunities for fishing or sightseeing. Find for a storage place where you can save. You do not want to pay a monthly charge when the length of your storage requirement is shorter than the storage use. Long boat storage tenure can be cheaper in the end.

Among the standard “must have” channels among subscribers of cable or satellite TV services who are concerned about local as well as international news is Fox News. This news channel really lives up to its motto, “We report, you decide”, reporting events as they happen as objectively as humanly possible (except in the occasional editorial portion). It reports on anything and everything under the sun that is newsworthy to the majority of its viewing and listening public, from National News, to International News, local news, business and finance, politics, entertainment, sports, and just about everything else that needs to be made known publicly.

Thanks to the pervasiveness of the Internet, you do not even have to be in front of your television set at home to be able to get the latest news from this worldwide leader in news reportage. Among the sites that you can visit to get Fox News Live Feed is, of course, foxnews site! You simply direct your browser to the said site and choose among the many options available, including streaming video of the slightly delayed Fox News Live feed that you would normally see on the television screen.

Unfortunately, Fox News decided to stop this very useful feed to the detriment of millions of Internet users who had no access to cable or satellite TV. As a poor alternative, by clicking the VIDEOS button of the website, you have the option to view several multimedia files of various interesting topics at your convenience. This option, of course, provides dated information and is not the same as seeing the news as it (almost) happens.

In January 2007, Fox News introduced a new service that enables anyone with a cell phone in the United States to access Fox News Live Feed in audio format. The monthly subscription fee for this service is $2.99. Additional per minute charges for this service applies. Cellular subscribers just have to dial “#FOXN” on their mobile phones to access this service which is available 24 hours a day, seven days per week.

While this is a good alternative to get the news, and has picked up some interest, it still falls short of the “color” that comes when video is shown together with the audio news. One critique is that, since it is a paid service rather than being free, then the content should be structured in such a way that it becomes immediately informative so that the resulting cost will not be so high.

There are several blog sites that lament the fact that Fox News has ceased to offer live feeds of its news programs, in concert with similar moves by the other major news networks. These sites express distress and disappointment over the fact that the need for breaking news in areas where there is no access to Fox News and similar news channels via cable or satellite TV. While Fox News has somehow addressed this issue with their live audio feeds via cell phones, this is not a free service and is audio exclusive. There are suggestions being made that Fox News revives their live feed broadcast via the Internet, even if this will be via membership with appropriate and reasonable service fees charged.

The Sony PSP, or PlayStation Portable, is the hottest portable gaming system on the market. The system has stunning three dimensional graphics and can play PSP proprietary movie discs. For many years people who owned portable gaming systems had to put up with graphics far inferior to that of television based consoles. With the Sony PSP the graphics are very high quality and you can watch popular new movie releases. It is like a console, but portable, with no concessions in exchange for the portability.

Thanks to the Internet, it is possible to download Sony Playstation Portable games, PSP format movies, and even home made videos or movies from your handycam. The most amazing part is that you can find free PSP downloads that are totally legal. There is a large number of sites that offer free downloads for PSP, but many of them are not worth your time. If you are interested in finding free PSP game downloads and free PSP video downloads, you should make sure that you use a site that doesn’t have a lot of broken links or non-working files. There are some important things to look for to make sure you are using a free PSP download site that is not going to waste your time.

What To Look For in a Free PSP Download Site

One of the first things that you should do is to look for a free PSP downloads site that offers you a private membership with no recurring fees. You will most likely have to pay a one time membership fee, but this is extremely beneficial because having a private membership with the quality free PSP download sites ensures you get quality files to download on an unlimited basis.

With the free PSP download sites that have a private membership, members will tend to check the files for viruses and spy ware, also these membership sites take time to check that there are no dead links and files are working. This will save you a lot of time since you don’t have to do wade through many of the dead links or download broken finals that some of the inferior PSP download sites have. The one time signup fee is really nothing compared to the amount of time you will save and headaches you will avoid by getting excellent quality files and avoiding viruses.

The second thing to look for is a fast file download. Some Sony Playstation Portable download sites are so slow that you will find it impossible to download a full game or movie in any reasonable amount of time. The next thing to look for is a fast responding and professional customer support team. Customer support can help you with questions about downloading or using your software, and help get rid of broken links and bad files quickly.

How To Download and Transfer Your PSP Files

Downloading and using the free game and movie downloads for PSP is quite easy. The first step is to download the file you have selected to your computer, once that is done you connect your PSP to your computer with a USB cable, you then transfer the file to your PSP in the appropriate location. Once the file is transferred, go to the appropriate category selection on your PSP, for example if you downloaded and transferred a game you would go to the game directory and select the downloaded file, likewise with movies and music etc.

Using the free PSP download sites is easier than getting in the car and heading down to the video games store to hire a game. The age of convenience is certainly upon us and the fact that downloading playstation portable games and movies is cheaper than the video store is icing on the cake.
