Where can I buy a Sony PSP USB cable?Where do I find the cable for downloading music onto the Sony PSP? Indeed, it appears that there are a lot of people talking about different cool accessories for the PSP: where are they finding all this stuff and what's a must-have? This is one of the more common questions I see here at Ask Dave Taylor regarding the Sony PSP, actually, and it surprises me because when I walk through Target, Wal-Mart, Circuit City or Best Buy, or similar electronics shops, I always find an area where they're selling peripherals and add-ons for both the Sony Playstation Portable (PSP) and just about every other gaming system on the market. Frankly, it's a huge business (Sony's already sold over 5 million PSPs worldwide). If you want to shop online, just about any of those sites I just mentioned sell PSP USB cables and related, but there are also some alternative sites that offer good deals too, even including Amazon.com.
For example, at Amazon.com, if you search for "Sony PSP" you'll find that they list almost 300 matches
There's some really cool merchandise available there too, including my favorite USB cable solution, the BoxWave retractable sync and charge cable There are plenty of other possibilities for purchasing not just the USB cable, for just about anything for a Sony PSP. Here's a little spot from the Chitika MiniMall that should offer up some pretty darn good deals on the PSP and related: There really are a ton of different products available, too, ranging from screen covers (I have one on mine to cut down on glare) to skins for protecting your PSP to hard cases for travel, different styles of headphones, and much more. Lots to check out if you're a shopping maven, that's for sure (and, of course, they'd all be good additions to anyone's Christmas wish list...) Finally, if you really want to save some money on the cable itself, you can pop over to somewhere like Radio Shack and buy a USB cable there, or even just jump up to their PSP Starter Kit, but beware: if you get a cable that's not high enough quality, I have heard from some people that they have reliability issues with downloads, issues that are quickly resolved when they purchase a new, higher quality USB cable for their PSP. Good luck!

I think you've bought a broken PSP and maybe that's why the person was selling it on eBay. I'd ask for my money back and send it back to the merchant. Good luck. zain said, on August 29, 2006 4:33 AM:

Does a usb cable actually come with the psp base pack or value pack? if not, can I use any USB cable? Dave Taylor said, on November 29, 2006 11:03 AM:
The PSP uses a standard mini-USB cable that's small on one end, and a standard USB cable connector on the other. You can get that just about anywhere, from Target to Circuit City. Gareth Butler said, on November 29, 2006 3:36 PM:
Thanks. What about earphones? David said, on July 24, 2007 8:43 PM:

It was used but in liek new condition (says the merchant) when i tryed to play multiple games on it it would make a weird noise and then just stop, not playing the game. I have tryed everything the troubleshooting guide has told me and it still doesnt work. What do you think?
