@kane You need to grow up seriously..
Back on topic. Can't believe back when you had to pay for this i think i paid 20 or 30 dollars for it.
Oh man I can't unpack the application. I think I need something with it.
Good old free
win rar to unpack it
Wonderful. I wanted this but didn't want to pay for it since I can do what I gotta do without it.
Would that mean that the Media packaged PSP's will have a price drop?? Is there even a point of selling for bundle any longer?
No I have the software downloaded already, But It won't continue to unpack the application
Cool.... I knew if I held out a bit they would make it free. There was just too many ways to do without it for free
psn id: gingo... they made the right choice in making this a free download becasue nobody should habve to pay for software like this especially from sony
I thought that was always free. I downloaded something similar off the PSP website and transfered some themes to my PSP. Maybe it was something diffrent. I did it like 3 weeks ago.
sweet, i dont use my psp often but now im gonna use it more
One of the features it states Enjoy mp4,. avi,. mpg,. mov,. wmv. I was unaware that the PSP can play more video files? can it play divX yet?
WOW, this absolutely blows. After I paid $16.95 for it, it's now free !!!! WTF whose gonna give me my refund?
You call PSP Media Manager a great piece of software. Hahahahaha not by a longshot
yes! i cant believe it, i just downloaded and installed hte program. beauty. This week has been the best week for firmware updates and media accross the psp and ps3. Sony is doing an awesome job.
I already have it, but good stuff i love you Sony..
isn't it weird that you can't access that link when your actually manuvering through the real japan playstation site? and wouldn't you be able to get through to the other parts of the site from there? just my thoughts...
