PSP go connection

[mrb820]

Okay here it goes . I wanna know if you'll be able to connect your psp-go to your ps3 and transfer your downloads from it when you buy games from the playstation store. I already know some are saying that that's the whole point of the new psp-go is that the user can download music , games movies ect from the unit itself, but in the real world wifi is iffy at best. If your a person who doesn't have a wireless router at home, does that mean they'll have to go to starbucks to pickup a wifi signal and purches games while drinking a 5 dollar latte ? Please help.

Well if you have a PS3, you were always able to hook the PSP, even now to your PS3 and transfer what is allowed, some PSN/PSOne games. But speculation is that with the PSP go having Bluetooth, you won't have to connect with a hardwire.

You can directly download to the go or connect to your PS3 or PC and transfer the downloads across.

I'm keen to get one, but it occurred to me that you are then locked out of ever buying second hand games. You have to pay full price or platinum price.

I hope there is a way to properly backup anything you buy too. Preferably onto PS3? I guess if I buy all my PSP games through the PS3 store they will download to my PS3 drive and that will be a back up of sorts.

Hi,

I just came looking for an official PSP go thread and didn't see one.

I have never had a PSP but my neighbor recently loaned me his so I could check it out.

The PSP go looks like something I would want but what's with the 16GB memory? If I have USB external drive I guess I could expand the memory with that... ???

The 16GB memory is the PSP Go!'s internal memory. With regards of 'expanding' the memory, its just saying that you can put in a memory card for additional space.

I don't believe that they've mentioned anything regarding a external hard drives.

Anything you purchase from the PSN store is saved in your account's download list, and you can re-download stuff at any time.

From what I understand, you will also be able to expand it with memory sticks or whatever the format is Sony will be using. And, I wouldn't imagine PSP games take up more than maybe a couple-hundred MB anyway on average.

Not to sound like a n00b, but I just bought my PSP this week. How do you do this? I've got Wipeout (PS1) and Twisted Metal (PS1) on my PS3, and I'd like to xfer them to my PSP without having to download them all over again.

Also, downloading them to PC (wasn't aware you could do that) and then xfering them to the PSP via USB might be desirable because I could xfer them as a batch. (It would be cool if the PSP had a "download in background" option, but it doesn't.)

Connect the PSP with USB and Copy just as you would anything else on PS3.

On the other hand, any game you buy will always be in "new" condition.

Hmmm... have never connected anything to my PS3 other than controller cables to "mate" them to the system. I'll have to try this with the PSP.

Does he need to register (ie. activate) the PSP device somewhere under system settings before copying game content? It was a long time ago when I setup the PSP's and I don't have access to the PS3 right now to check. Maybe that was needed just for remote play?
