PSP More Than Just PSP Free Downloads
My 9-year son received a PSP for his birthday 2 years ago. As far as I was concerned, this was an overpriced, fancier version of the Gameboy - a portable video game player. Was I ever mistaken! He can do so many things with this device, more than just receiving PSP free downloads.
Recently, I saw him playing his Gameboy DS and looking at his PSP. I asked what he was doing playing two games at one time. He told me he was looking up cheats on his PSP for a game he had on his DS. I asked him how he was doing that and that's when I found out the thing has WiFi. He was picking up the wireless router signal in his room from the router in my room, on the other side of the house. Well that got me thinking. This was a much more sophisticated device than I thought. I dug out the manual to see what was "under the hood" and realized now why the thing was so darn expensive. It was quite a powerful computer. Turns out the DS has WiFi, too.
Ok. So I'm slow. He had the thing for a couple of years and now I was finding out about what he could do. Everyone knows what the PSP can do but me. I started researching to see what else it could do and found many sites that supported downloads of different types. This was even more versatile that an iPod. I'm a member of some download sites and a well known DVD-to-home rental company. This company offers streaming movies as part of its service. I wanted to see if I could see these on the PSP. Imagine having a portable device, with a decent size screen, and seeing popular movies on it.
Well it didn't work. So I found a service that allows you to download movies after membership. They provide the software. There are several out there. It's amazing how people can take these new technologies and stretch them beyond imagination.
In addition to this, he can store files, music, and listen to a streaming radio. It's better than an iPod in many ways.
Those of you who are old enough probably remember paying to join video tape rental stores to have the right to rent movies from these stores. Things have changed quite a bit over the years and this seems to be the latest evolution of that service. You no longer need to go to the store to rent movies. You don't even need to go to the mailbox. You can have it downloaded right to your hands.
What a long way we've come. Technology certainly has made things more convenient even if it has created ADD in our kids.
