How to download Beats with a PS3 (not a PC)

Okay, so maybe you don't have a Windows PC that is capable of running the PlayStation Network downloader. That's okay. You may have a Mac, or you might be running Linux -- or you're just too darn afraid to install a new program on your computer. Whatever the reason, there is an alternative ... provided you have a PS3.

Visit the PLAYSTATION Store on any computer. Complete purchase of Beats, but do not download it.
Log in to your PS3 using the same PSN account as the one used to purchase Beats.
Go to PLAYSTATION Network on the XMB. Click on Account Management.
Click on Transaction History.
Then, click on Download List. You will see Beats on this list.
Download to your PS3. Connect your PSP via USB and install your new favorite PSP game.

Hope this helps the few of you that simply cannot access the Store on your computer. If you're without a PS3 and a Windows PC, you're in tough luck for now. Why not just buy the game at a friend's house?

Except that I can't even access the PS store right now... Must be some server error or something cause it keeps telling me to check back later. Damnit! I really want Beats........... NEED....

Hey, that's great, thanks! I'm one of those with a PSP, a PS3, linux installed on my PS3, and a linux desktop computer, and was left unable to purchase Beats. Last I checked I thought Sony was trying to compete with MS, not force customers to fork over hundred or so dollars to MS just so we can get some great games on the PSP. (and no, wine doesn't work with Sony's software).

So, uh, anyone know what firmware version Beats requires? Just curious. ;)
