Recently with the release of BBS a lot of people will be getting a brand new PSP for the very first time. I'm sure that these forums will be flooded with questions about things that are actually very simple so here is a short FAQ.
What's the difference between sleep mode and off?
To turn off your device completely simply hold the power button up until the device turns off. To put it in sleep, push the power button up once.
What is the reccomended memory card size?
You should try to get at least 1 gigabyte. This will be more than enough for your game saves and whatever you decide to put onto your PSP.
How do I add music, video, and pictures?
There are many ways to do this. Most of the time people will try to make you think you need some stupid program to do it. However all you need to do is a little copy and pasting.
First connect the USB to your computer and your PSP. If you do not have the right USB your local electronics store may have something. After every thing is plugged in, go into USB mode and wait for the device to connect. After its done go to computer and open up the folder that relates to the PSP. You should see a neatly organized stack of folders. Simply copy and paste videos from your computer into the video folder, music into the music folder and of course, pictures into the picture folder.
How can I download music and video?
I hope you realized this but Itunes doesn't work with the PSP. In order to get content you will have to download it. Google Video allows you to save videos into a PSP format. Or you could simply convert Itunes files int .wav files on Itunes. I don't know if .wav files work on the PSP but it's worth a shot.
Why is the web browser so slow?
The PSP never had the best internet browser. Speeds will vary based on where you are getting your WiFi but it's slower than most devices out there today. You can't watch youtube or play games on the Web browser right now.
That's about it, I'll add more things in the future, any other questions you have should easily be answered by the manual.
