We're not a boastful site by nature, but even in our most sober and modest moments of self reflection we have to concede we truly are freebie ninja viking superhero Olympian dragon-slaying gods from planet Perfecto. Oops, there we go getting carried away again. See what happens when you let those floodgates loose?

Anyway, the point is we have some exceptional free stuff for you this week, beginning, perhaps predictably, with the PSP. Though really just an appetiser for the main course, free-psp-themes has some excellent themes available just now, including a very pretty Okami one resplendent in all its washed out watercolour glory.

That quickly digested, then, let's move onto that main course. How does every single episode of South Park ever (excluding the current 12th season) sound? Bloody marvelous, we expect. (If you're a fan, obviously. Bloody awful, if not.) The downloads can be found over at yourpsp.in after a very quick and easy registration and a visit to this thread.

We know what your thinking: "That sounds as though it's on the wrong side of legal, doesn't it?" Well, in explanation, creators of South Park, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, have made every episode freely available to watch online and in a recent interview stated that they have no problem whatsoever with people downloading their show. How refreshing. Comedy Central might have a different opinion but either way it looks as though it's very unlikely that anyone will get their hands slapped over this.

All yourpsp.in has done is converted all of the content into MP4 format so that the videos will work on your iPod and PSP, so go get people. (And you obviously didn't hear it from us.) Don't worry, it'll be fine. Really. (But we never had this conversation, right?)

As for the DS this week, we have a veritable comic orgy (though not a comic about an orgy – that would just be creepy). First, there are five titles, all in DS format, courtesy of from the gutter. They're all free but you'ill need a flash card and the DS comic reader which can be snaffled from the fantastic Moon Books Project (a personal favourite of ours) in order to read them.

If, however, you're not interested in any flash cart tomfoolery, you can content yourself by heading over to Square Enix's The Word Ends With You site and read chapter one of the manga based on the forthcoming DS game. You have to read it on your PC but apparently there are hidden spots in the manga that when clicked yield a free ringtone based on the game's soundtrack. Another excellent spot from the ever tireless HiddenAway, our resident forum role model.

Lastly, we couldn't forget mobile, especially seeing as we have a fresh recommendation from Mobile Rated to shout about. If you haven't already downloaded one of Mobile Rated's free titles then this is where you should start as Rovio's Darkest Fear 3: Nightmare is both genuinely unnerving and an excellent title.

And so we must leave you to enjoy the spoils we have laid before you. Remember to keep an eye on our Demo and Freebie sections and click 'Track It!' to be sure to catch next week's bounty.
