Do you like to watch movies on your PSP? Well, then you are likely to be interested in Vuze - a free media player for high-res digital videos. Vuze has a great new feature called Devices which converts all your downloads to play on PSP. According to Vuse, they have made the conversion system smart so that we don’t have to be.

The simple two-step process as outlined on Vuse and shown below.

Its easy to get movies or videos onto your PSP First, download the Vuze software (its free). Then PSP will appear in the Sidebar under Devices the first time you connect your PSP to your computer (make sure Vuze is open). All you have to do then is to drag-and-drop movie or video files from your Vuze library to the PSP in the Sidebar. This will convert the movie/video files to to a format that the PSP can play. Once the conversion has been done, Vuze will automatically transferr the new file to the PSP. You will find the converted movie files listed under ‘Videos’.

Try it out - its free! You can download Vuze 4.3 here and/or get the Vuze Toolbar here.

Some time ago we did a post on how to get  movies for free on PSP! All you needed was a movie file on your PC and TransferMyVideo could convert it to a PSP compatible format.

Well, we have just discovered a way for you to get all your DVDs so you can watch them on PSP as well (friends got some DVDs you wanna watch?)

One of the team here at Bitfood, spotted a promo on another site - iPhonegizmo - that offers TransferMyVideo at 15% off.

Even better, they followed the links in the article and discovered that there is free software that makes it possible to use TransferMyVideo to copy any DVD (including those that are “right protected”). Its called DVD43, takes a few moments to download and then just sits on our desktop quietly working away unlocking DVDs so they can be copied!

Now the great thing about TransferMyVideo, is that it can convert any DVD to watch on a stack of mobile platforms - including iPhones, iPods, and Zunes as well as PSP. So that means if you need a parents’ agreement to get the software, you have a pretty good chance of getting them interested, as they can benefit from the software as well!!

Check out the article on iPhonegizmo, so you know whats involved, then you can put a killer argument to whoever controls the credit cards in your place (including you, if you are the one in charge!!) We have trialed it on both iPods and iPhones and it works a treat!

If you check around the site you will find some guides to getting some free music for your PSP. These are all great ways to get free music - but are usually for music from lesser known or beginning musicians. If you are wanting to get hold of free music from your favorite artists - then you might want to check out cool this site we found. Its currently offering 25 free MP3s - and they are also DMR-free (which means that they can be played on our PSP) and you can choose from any top artist.

The 25 songs are completely free and you get them by signing up for a free trialwith the site. Now you have to give credit card details - so if you don’t have one you will need to get your parents or a friend to sign up for you. Its easy to cancel your free subscription (we’ve tested the system out and it is easy)

So - go check them out. And Enjoy! (PS if you need to find out how to download music to your PSP, check out this link)

While  I use my PSP mainly for games, I’ve become a great fan of watching movies and TV shows on it.

I’ve just now put a recent episode of NCIS on it to watch when I go on a trip tonight, so I’m pretty happy about that.

And as the whole transfer to my PSP was so easy and took only 10 minutes, I thought I’d share how I did it. First I used the free version of TransferMy Video(that I downloaded recently). Then I browsed through my viseo files and found the NCIS file that my friend sent me, and then clicked “start my conversion”.

That’s it, basically. It took less than 10 minutes to convert to PSP file (its very fast). I then just synced it to my PSP (a few secs) and done! Best invention, ever!!.

I just copied the banner ad above, so there is no link from it to the free download - but you can just click the TransferMyVideo link above or click HERE to get to the free download.

So why copy the banner? Because the free version does have a watermark in the middle of the image - which can get annoying. Its pretty cheap software anyway, but currently they have a 35% off sale - so worth a mention.

For all our readers that have a hacked PSP - you will definably want to watch this video (posted just two hours ago). Its a hack that delivers all the luxuries available on the Japanese PSPs.(If after watching it you feel motivated to get your PSP hacked then check out this PSP hack site for a safe way to get your PSP hacked)

Cool, hey?

Hmmm yeahh, drooool free TV on PSP - watch anywhere! …WTF! …Its not for the US #&@#!

Thats about the size of it folks! Have recently discovered that the Go!PSPGo! websites have all folded up their tents and disappeared into the night (and their function absorbed into the uk.playstation.com website). So when I came accross a reference to G0!View and was sent to a new website - set up just for it - well, palpitations were in evidence. But ..alas poor Yorick… Its only available in the Fair Isles.

We also recently nagged the SCEA playstation crew in California to find out if they were ever going to bring any component of the Go! setup to the US. And got the royal runaround. But the consensus seems to be a resounding “no”!

So watch this video and weep, US readers. (UK readers - you get free TV on PSP for a month to try it out) BTW, we have a theory that the PSP is more popular among older (and therefore better funded) enthusiasts in the UK and Europe. Now about 30% of our readers are from UK and Europe - so we thought we would do a quick quiz to check our theory (you’ll find it at the end of this post)

Our theme for March seems to have been - how to get a free PSP!

So we decided to end the month on a high note - and tell you about the easiest PSP contest yet! The main prize is a Sony PSP and PSP copies of CID The Dummy for three runners up.

All you have to do is answer the question:

“Which CID The Dummy character kidnaps Mia, the professor’s daughter?”

- and register to become a member of boomtown ……. and, oh yeah - and live in the UK. You can find out more about the contest at boomtown

As a consolation to US and Japanese PSP lovers, however, Sony recently announced that on April 5 - less than a week away - ten of its greatest hist will be on sale for a mere $19.95. The list includes: Mortal Kombat: Unchained, Patapon, SOCOM U.S. Navy SEALs: Tactical Strike,
Sonic Rivals 2, SpongeBob SquarePants: The Yellow Avenger, Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Advance Warfighter 2, Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Vegas. Not free - but if you have wanted to own the game from new - then here is your chance!

For the rest of us, there is the report over the weekend that Sony Computer Entertainment is on the verge of a making some dramatic global announcement! This is suposed to happen tomorrow (Tuesday March 31st) ant there is wide speculation that it might be a big price drop or maybe a new browser (which would be great if its for the PSP) or some other online revolution. So watch for it.
