Simple. Go to Starbucks. By registering any gift card on starbucks.com (they go low as $5), PSP owners can get free internet access on their PSP systems. The catch? It's only limited to two hours a day, and you have to use your card in some way (buy something, or add value to it) at least once every 30 days. For portable internet browsing on the go, these restrictions are pretty generous.
Once connected, PSP is able to browse the internet at quite a respectable speed. There is one glaring flaw, though. You won't be able to use the free wi-fi for anything but internet browsing. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear online gaming will work at a Starbucks wi-fi spot.

instead of re-downloading symphony of the night- buy Castlevania: The Dracula X Chonicles. It has Rondo of Blood (the game directly before Symphony) remastered in 3D, and it also has the old version of Rondo of Blood which was stuck in Japan. We had some censored version that wasnt as good. Also- it has Symphony of the Night included too! I just beat it a week ago. Its fantastic. It isnt 16:9 which was a bummer but you can stretch it far, without it looking bad (it just has a left and right sidebar of any background you want). I got it on Amazons deal of the dya for 19.99- and its worth every penny.
Also, the DS has 2 amazing Castlevania games. I love me some Castlevanias!

I feel sorry for some of you Americans and outside Londoners, we have Wi-fi connection right across the city, you can connect almost anywhere. None of this visit starbucks to get a connection business.

Not worth it whatsoever. Starbucks sucks and only internet? Get a smartphone or browse from your computer.

If there is a problem with gaming devices being able to connect to the Wi-Fi at Starbucks, T-mobile wi-fi should still be up for a limited time.
But the really nice thing is that Starbucks Partners (employees) now get free Wi-Fi all the time at their stores. :3
