Download demos, games, PS1 games, and game and movie trailers all onto your PSP. No PS3 required for downloading PS1 games now. Enjoy. -http://store.playstation.com -PC downloading/PSP connection client (required to download content) -Firmware 3.70 or later required. -Store uses same account and log-in information as PS3 Store. -The downloading client only works on PCs, not Macs.* *If you go into your PSP web browser, there is a link to "My PSP" in the bookmarks. You can download videos and demos from there as well. Much better selection there than what is on the "official" store now but more clunky. GETTING JAPANESE STORE CONTENT: Just like you can on the PS3, you can set up accounts in Japan and the UK if you have not done so already. You need different emails for each. For the Japan Store only: You can buy a PSN card from NCSX importers. They will then email the code to you. Once you set up your Japanese PSN account on the website, you can enter the code into your wallet. Then you can purchase stuff like PS1 games off of the Japanese store. Not all of the titles are English friendly but if that is not an issue for you, these PS1 games are region-free and clear to download and play.
