Absolutely Safe to download!!! (I delete card details after purchasing as a precaution anyway).

There are free demos, classic games and full PS3 titles have a search!

I have a different user set up on my PS3 which enables me to log on to the US PSN store, however I only ever download demos. I think full games will be region locked (I could be wrong though).

If it's cheaper to buy on PSN, you'll be fine (you can download it 5 times if your PS3 breaks).

Go ahead give it a whirl!!!

Go to Game on your XMB (Cross Menu Bar), go down you'll either see an rectangle bubble which will be your game or a folder. It may be in the folder. It will need installing first. Let me know how you get on!

The game icon should appear in the game section of the main menu - just below the icon for whatever game disc you have in the machine.

To install it click on the item.
