Hi,
Ive just purchased a PSP off a mate for a good price.
Im planning on selling all the games i got with it as they arnt my type of games, but i was wondering: i want to get LocoRoco 1 & 2, will they load faster/use less battery power if i get them off the PSN compared to the UMD versions?

Also, what games are recommended?

Thanks in advance all.

Also, can i purchase a game now off the PSN onto its existing 2Gb card, then transfer the game over to the 16Gb one? Or will i have to redownload?

They will indeed load faster and use less battery power. On the redownloading front i don't have a clue i'm afraid though.

Yes, yes and yes you can just copy the contents from one card to another. Think that covers it.

Yes, and yes I believe.

As for games, Crisis Core, LocoRoco, Patapon, any Wipeout game.

Monster Hunter Freedom Unite has my attention at the moment.

Does that also apply to savegames?

I think I tried it once with Wipeout Pulse and when I played the game on the new memorystick it couldn't find the save :confused:

Save games can definitely be transferred. Not sure why it didn't work for you. :confused:

I see, looks like I messed up the copying.

Are downloadable games somehow copy protected so that they will only work on the PSP that it was bought for (I'm also thinking what will happen when PSP breaks down and you get a replacement)? I am only just thinking as I have never bought any games from PSP store only UMD discs.

I had a dead PS3, I could just re-download all games from the PSN, it has a list of all my downloads that were free and/or payed for, with the PSP it will be the same.
