Gaming Question for PSP3k owners

[ImaginationLand]

Are you guys waiting for a cfw to come out for it or
are you going to upgrade to the new official fw and get access to the psn store?

im trying to make my decision cause i want to play a few demos i have in mind, but
i might not be able to get cfw. IF one ever comes out

for PSN just get the psp media manager.
i'm downloading demo's fine even from other region PSN's just by using the media manager.
(5.02 OFW EU psp, but using US PSN)

 

[ImaginationLand]

what does the psp media manager do?

can i download a demo somewhere and just put it into my psp?
and if i can is it wrong on these forums to ask for demo downloads?

 

[thedicemaster]

psp media manager is an official tool made by sony.
it lets you backup/restore files easily from your memorystick, but it also gives you access to the playstation store from your PC.
this way you can bypass the FW check.
just plug in your psp with a usb cable, boot the program, and download a demo through media manager.

Didn't Dark Alex release a plugin that lets any firmware work with the PSN store? I'm not on the latest firmware and I can still access it on my PSP and I think I did install a plugin like that.
(my bad forgot he was on a 3000)

You're on a CFW and he has a psp3000 so he can't use plugins.
