Not so sure

You do realize that the PSP stores everything on a memory stick right? It only has about 32MB of internal flash RAM, and most of that is used to store the firmware. You also can't access it unless you're using a custom firmware.

The Xbox360 should be able to stream files from your PC over a LAN however. I'm not so sure if Microsoft lets you play just any old file you want with the 360, and since there's still no proper modchip for it no hope of an Xbox Media Center port, but that's what I would do.

Otherwise, find yourself a used Xbox (the original) chip it or softmod it, and install Xbox Media Center. It will play almost anything you throw at it as long as it's not a high def video. Sadly the original Xbox just doesn't have the hardware resources for that. It can stream files from Windows file shares, or you can tare it apart and put in a larger hard drive and store things locally on the Xbox.

i know everything is stored on a memory stick and i have a 1gb memory stick and the reason i asked this because i read you can put photos and music from the psp on the 360 so i just figured you could put wma's which the 360 plays on the psp and transfer

Not easily
by jackson dougless Apr 26, 2007 3:22AM PDT

The Xbox 360 doesn't have any mechanism I'm aware of to read any kind of memory card, and the PSP doesn't have the ability to function as a USB host. I'm not even aware of any plugins for custom firmwares that allow for this.

So even if you put the video file on the PSP's memory stick, you wouldn't be any closer to getting it on the 360.

Which brings us back to my LAN idea from before. I don't know if it'll work or not, but it's your best shot. That is, unless someone managed to get the 360 to communicate with a card reader. If they did, you should be able to find the details with Google.
