PS3 Game Download Made Easy! Here's How To Download Games

By Grant Dougan

You may have noticed that the Playstation 3 is picking up steam in recent months. That's because more and more people are choosing this system over its competitors for its power and versatility. One of the best features of this system is the ability to use PS3 game downloads on your console after downloading them.

You might imagine that we hear from a lot of gamers who wonder where they can find downloads for this system. That's why we decided to put together a guide to explain where to get these files.

The first thing you need to do is know what kind of site to avoid. If you see a website claiming to offer free PS3 downloads, you need to steer clear. Many of them look good, but the majority will just cause you problems in the long run.

That's because sites like this are putting your computer at risk of spyware infections, adware, and viruses. Nothing is in place to monitor file uploads, and you'll never know what it is that you're downloading.

Of course, that's not the only problem. In addition, download speeds are unpredictable and often slow, with many files turning out to be corrupt. You might have to wait hours to find a file and then realize that it doesn't work. That's a real waste of time.

What's the better alternative? Think about joining up with a PS3 download site. That way, you can join up as a member and log in to download games whenever you like. These types of sites are monitored, so you won't have to be concerned about malware. You'll also be able to count of quality game files and a fast download.

These sites aren't free, of course. There's a relatively low membership fee - about fifty dollars for permanent access. Then, you can log in whenever you choose without concerns about being billed again. You'll get not just unlimited downloads of PS3 games, but also music, movies, and plenty of other files that are usable on your game console.

You want to steer clear of membership sites that charge a monthly fee or that charge per filed downloaded. This might seem like a good deal, but you'll actually save more with a site that offers a one time only fee for a lifetime membership. It's a lot less costly in the long run.

A good site will include information about getting the files you download to function on your system, and will offer access to any software you need to circumvent the copy protection on the games.

Once you get used to downloading your PS3 games instead of paying for them, there's a good chance you'll be addicted. After all, trying out new games whenever you want is as easy as turning on the computer. - 15634
