PSP GAME DOWNLOADS ARE FOR EVERYONE

The PSP or Playstation Portable is the premier portable gaming device that's been marketed for a few years. Some of the features that makes the PSP such a popular and enduring gadget is its ability to download PSP games and software. From places like PSP Blender for a membership fee, you can download to your heart's content. In addition to the commercial games and movies sold online and in stores, today there are so many websites dedicated to the PSP where you can download free PSP games all day and all night.

There are three types of downloads when it comes to the PSP: Free PSP game downloads, Membership and Pay-As-You-Go downloads and the one-time fee with unlimited access and download type. One of the most searched for terms in search engines is "Free PSP Game Downloads" proving that it is a very popular pastime and the availability of so many sites attests to the popularity of the PSP.

Here are a few points to keep in mind when looking for Free PSP Game Downloads.

While there are many websites where you can find free PSP game downloads, there are some cautions to adhere to in order to avoid copyright infringement, downloading more than just games and movies including spyware and viruses, and a host of other problems that can crop up if you connect with an illegal site. It's easy to find sites offering free PSP game downloads. Just Google it and you will see pages and pages of links to free PSP game files, free movies and videos, plus wallpapers and themes for your PSP console.

The next type of site offers nearly free PSP game downloads. It's the membership site or pay per download site where, for a monthly fee or pay as you download, you have access to an unlimited number of downloads from their large library of movies, games and wallpapers. While this is not the greatest, and with the pay-as-you-go model can prove a bit pricey, it is an option and is better than most free sites.

One of the best is to stick with the reputable companies which allow access for a one-time fee. After you pay, you can download as much as you like. In a way this is nearly free PSP game downloads in that you have paid for access, but for the rest of the time the site is available, you can log in and download free games, movies, wallpapers and whatever else is offered.

Microsoft Xbox 360 to come with Free games?

Microsoft Xbox 360 to come with Free games?

Microsoft Corp. plans to bundle free games with its Xbox 360 game consoles in the coming months, images found on a web-site Microsoft “uses to market its products” reveal. The intention, if it exists, will help Microsoft to grab numerous hardcore/standard gamers with the Xbox 360, however, there will still be hardly any rivals for Nintendo Wii from Microsoft.

The world’s largest maker of software will bundle Forza Motorsport 2 and Marvel Ultimate Alliance titles with its Xbox 360 premium and elite versions, providing more value at already lowered price, reports Kotaku web-site. Free games will also allow Microsoft to once again boost sales of its Xbox 360 among those interested in racing and action games.

Nevertheless, adding free games to the game consoles that are priced at $349 and $449 will only attract attention of those gamers, who are already very familiar with video games in general. Therefore, those games will hardly attract attention of casual gamers, who buy Nintendo Wii with free Wii Sports game for $249 and can enjoy it right out of the box.

Executives at Microsoft recently acknowledged that the company needs to attract casual gamers to the Xbox 360 platform to compete against Nintendo Wii. However, since then the company did not take any measures to realize this commitment.

Microsoft Xbox 360 console is based around microprocessor developed by IBM, high-definition visual processing unit designed by ATI Technologies, I/O controller engineered by SiS and some other key components. The gaming machine provides a broad set of multimedia capabilities in addition to games. The game console also features an HD DVD drive that should be acquired separately.

Halo 3 Overwhelmed Xbox Live

If you've experienced trouble with Xbox Live the past few days, start shaking your fist at everyone playing Halo 3, because it's basically their fault.

The surge of activity on Live and Xbox.com that occurred after the game's release resulted in frozen screens, or simply being shut out of Live. Microsoft admits there was a bit of a hiccup, but says everything's fine now:
Xbox Live and Xbox.com experienced minor issues as a result of increased activity due to the launch of Halo 3.

The issues were quickly resolved and both Xbox Live and Xbox.com are now working fine.

The larger problem may have been dealt with, some are still experiencing freeze ups on Live as recently as yesterday afternoon.

The price of success...
