The PSP is a popular portable game console that also can access the Internet. If no wireless network exists at your current location, you can still access the Internet using a USB PSP connector cable attached to a computer with a wired broadband connection. Accessing the Internet through such a connection is quickly and easily accomplished; no additional Internet service provider fees apply, and the connection will not harm the PSP or the computer in any way.
