The Sony PSP really does have some hidden secrets. Lots of gamers only use their PSP for playing games, when there is so much more to do. You can, Upload and watch Movies, Music and Games. Uploading of Movies and Games used to be quite difficult, with the new 4.01 system update, it's now much more easier to upload media files to your PSP. Here's 3 top tips for your PSP.

1. Download the new 4.01system update. This includes new options for going online with WiFi, instant internet search and Go Messenger. You can also use the internet radio program, which allows you to listen to lot's of radio stations worldwide that broadcast via the internet.

2. Make sure you have a 2GB memory stick or bigger for storing your movies and music. You can store around 8 hours of movies and tv shows to your PSP, with music being around 16 to 25 hours depending on the size of your music files.

3. Download software to make it easier for uploading movies, music and games to your PSP. I personally struggled for days until i found some cool software that helped the downloading and uploading of files to the PSP more easier.

To protect yourself and to make the internet a better place, I recommend using legal software for downloading movies, music and games. Lots of websites offer these media files for free, but make sure these are legal. In these days of piracy it's better to make sure that the system you use for the media types are legal, please don't get caught out.
