it depends. because it's on a memory stick, u can easily backup the game before it corrupts.

i think psn keeps a record of all the games you've purchased, so if u need to download it again, it'll let u

If the game corupts you delete it and restore it from a backup you have wisely made beforehand in case such a thing would happen.

Simply copy pasting to your PC is all it takes.

Now if a UMD disc would get damaged thats another story.

I don't think you can copy it to your PC, it is downloaded directly to the PSP using sony's d/l manager to prevent you getting your hands on the file to mess with it and upload it on the internet, so I doubt after all that it would be so simple that you can just copy the file to your PC. But don't worry, you are allowed to download any game you buy to up to 5 different PSP/PS3's that you have registered to your account and you can redownload to the same one again as many times as neccessary i think.

The download manager ensures that the downloaded content is linked to your acount.

I have a 3 divrent region PSN acounts and every time i add something new it synchronises the PSP with the acount used to purchase that content. the content that belongs to my other acounts can no longer be played as of that moment.

This is why i changed to only using the amerikan acount as they get the most stuff, saves me alot of time syncing the PSP

How do you get a foreign account? I tried getting an American one (I'm English) but it required a corrct zip code and address so I couldn't :(

I have Wipeout from the PS Store. I love it. and for $15 it's a decent deal. The game on disc will cost you $20 new, or like $15 used anyways. and as mentioned before, the fact ti runs off the memory stick allows you to use less battery power (those lasers use alot of power) and you can't lose the game or scratch it. I haven't seen another game on the PS Store that I've wanted to download yet, and i bet you can get Gangs of London cheaper than the $22 they are asking.

edit: I just checked AMAZON.com and the Gangs of London on UMD is 1/2 the price of the game on the PS Store. I would definately buy it that way if you want to save $10.

I just googled for the words "university in amerika" and copy pasted the adress :P
Just google for any type of building and you will likely find and adress on tehyr site
Zoo's, Schools, mall's etc, can even assign it to the home of oprah winfrey, PSN does not mind :)
