The PSP is a marvel of electronics engineering. Released by Sony, people soon realized that it had a greater attraction to it than simply being a portable games device. Gamers have been able to customize it for their own needs -- it can play games, be an emulator, a PDA -- you can even run the Linux operating system on it! But, perhaps best of all, you can get PSP video downloads and play movies on it.
The PSP is a dedicated machine for playing video, it appears to have been a consideration by the programmers since the machine's inception on the drawing board. Sporting the largest screen for a handheld yet, it even features a widescreen 16:9 ratio so you can obtain PSP video downloads and view them as they were originally intended to be seen.
But where can one obtain these PSP video downloads for use on the handheld device? I can show you that there are many different places on the net that will cater for PSP movie buffs.
Firstly, Google Video allows direct download of its movies to PSP format. Simply, ensure that your handheld has the latest firmware updates then whilst on a video page, simply elect to download to PSP. Then create a folder on your PSP memory stick called "video" and move the PSP video downloads to this folder, et voila -- Google Video watchable on your PSP!
YouTube videos can also be watched on the PSP, however, this does require more technical ability and use of special applications which can be difficult to configure. Personally, I don't recommend it unless you are confident with such things.
Newsgroups can be a somewhat good source of PSP videos with many movies released ready to go in PSP format. Again though, these it can be difficult to navigate newsgroups in order to obtain PSP video downloads.
Lastly, there are a number of membership download services that specialize in offering not just PSP video downloads, but also PSP game downloads, as well as other items such as wallpapers and applications. These membership download services save all the fuss of downloading from several different sites and converting to PSP format -- everything on these download services is already prepared specifically for the PSP.
