I'm sure most gamers have added this as their second or third PSP, but for me it's my first. I thought I'd make some suggestions for new users.1. Before you do anything else, buy a memory stick, a Pro Duo. You can't do anything useful without it.2. Buy a USB cable (5 pin mini). It doesn't come with one, and you'll need it to download stuff from your PC to the PSP.3. Buy a protective case and screen protector. I bought a Joytron case and InvisibleShield. The Joytron fits perfectly on the slim.4. Be careful when connecting the PSP to older computers. It's very powerful, and I overloaded the USB port on my older work computer when I tried to connect it.5. When transferring music or video to the PSP, here's how you do it:a. Plug in the PSP, and go to "USB Connection" in the menub. Wait for your computer to recognize itc. Go into My Computer and look for the drive where the PSP isd. Open the PSPe. Look for the Music folder (or Video)f. When moving music over, first create a folder with the album title on it in the Music folder on the PSP, *then* copy over the music into the folder. For example, I created a "Battlestar Galactica Season 1" folder inside the Music folder on the PSP. Then I copied over the MP3s. Copying whole folders gives you an error.6. Sign up for the Playstation Store. You can download free demos of many popular games (like Patapon), along with themes and wallpapers for the PSP. I like this method of free demos, because I can have multiple demos on my PSP and only.
