You will generally find that the sites that offer them for free are fall into the first category whilst the membership type of sites are generally legal.

If you look at membership sites you will notice that there are 2 types. The first type charge a low monthly fee this is good if you don't intend to purchase many games. The second type of site charges a one time fee. You should ensure that you get access to unlimited access to all the files in the database no matter which type of site you go with.

In order for you to download any games to your PSP from these sites you will first of all need to download them on to your PC or laptop. This is really easy to accomplish as long as you make sure that you have the correct software on your PC or laptop that will allow you to download such games for your PSP.

All the membership sites we reviewed provided us with the right software to enable us to download PSP games and movies. The main difference we found was in the quality of the instructions. You can choose to pay monthly which will cost you around $15 per month or you can select a onetime payment which will give you lifetime membership from around $39. Once your payment has been confirmed you are then able to choose the games and movies you want and start to download them.

You'll first download the games or movies to your local hard drive on your PC or laptop. Once you have them then it's time to transfer them to your PSP. The membership site you've chosen should provide you with easy to follow instructions. Of all the sites we reviewed PSPnerd had by far the best.

Now that you have the files on your PC it's time to transfer them to your PSP. You can do this using 2 simple methods. Either connect your PSP to your PC or laptop via a USB cable and transfer the files directly to the correct folder on your PSP or use a compatible memory stick. To use a memory stick you need to first copy the files from the PC to the memory stick and then place the memory stick into the PSP.

It is preferable to use the USB method where possible, as it is very rare for problems to occur. As soon as the cable is plugged in to both devices the PSP should appear on your PC. Then it is just a simple matter of dragging and dropping the files from the PC to the PSP. The only problems happen when you have used a file with the wrong extension or you have placed them into the wrong folder on the PSP.

If you haven't downloaded games to your PC before or are not sure how to do it then you should check out the reviews of the different PSP download sites. There are some significant differences between them all.
