The Playstation 3 has picked up a lot of steam recently - it's now enjoying more and more sales as people are switching to the PS3 from the XBOX because of the gaming power it has. One of the great features of the system is being able ot use PS3 game downloads that you find online and then use on your game system.

As you can imagine, we often get gamers wondering where they can find PS3 downloads. For this reason we thought we would put together a quick guide to explain where you can find the latest PS3 game downloads.

First off, stay away from website that advertise all sorts of "free PS3 downloads". You'll see a few with fancy banners but they typically are just a handful of problems.

Websites like this put your computer at risk of getting a virus or some type of spyware. There isn't anyone that monitors the files that get posted so you never know what you are downloading.

There are other problems too though - the download speeds can be horribly slow and many of the game files flat out don't work. It's quite common to wait hours for a file to download only to find that it is corrupt and doesn't even work. You can waste a lot of time here!

Instead, you are best to join a specialized PS3 game download website. Here, you join as a member, and can then login and download PS3 games whenever you want. These websites are monitored and developed by companies that make sure you don't have to worry about viruses or spyware. As well, you can count on fast downloads and game files that will always work for you.

You will have to pay a membership fee, but it isn't expensive. Usually it will be around $50 and this gives you lifetime access. You can then login whenever you want and you will never be billed again. Not only will you get unlimited PS3 game downloads, but you will also be able to download movies, music and other files that you can use on your playstation 3.

Try to avoid joining a website that charges you monthly fees or "per download" fees. Although it might seem like a good deal, you're best to find a website that offers a lifetime membership for the one-time only fee. It ends up being a lot less expensive in the longrun.

These website will also give you full instructions as to how to get the game files on your playstation so that you can play them. You will also have access to any software you need.

Once you use a PS3 game download membership site like the ones described above it's easy to get addicted! You'll be able to try out new games whenever you want just by firing up your computer. Enjoy and happy gaming!
