Sony Says More PS One Games On PSN ‘Shortly’

[xtop]

There are many classic PS One games available to download through PlayStation Network in Japan, but we’ve seen barely any here in the United States (does anyone want to play “2 Xtreme,” anyway?)

I didn’t ask John Koller, the head of hardware marketing at Sony Computer Entertainment America, whether this was changing when we spoke earlier this week. My bad, readers.

But he did follow-up over e-mail last night.

“Yes, we are working on further PSone additions to the PS Store and should see those launch shortly,” he said.

With that in mind, what PS One games do you want to re-buy? “Klonoa” and “Metal Gear Solid” would be very much appreciated, thanks!

3extreme was awesome, heck with 2extereme. btw..why didn't more of those games happen? anyways..give us gran turismo 2 already, forget about gran turismo psp, we all know that will never happen

I think that is a very astute observation as it would definately be cost effective for them as it would be pushed through a firmware update more than likley or the PSN Store.

This is in comparision to what they did with the MGS4 or Motorstorm where its not 100% compatibility. Sounds like the chip in the 60GB version cost too much money for them. This will definately be cost effective for them as well as make everyone happy.

Surely the PS3 is powerful enough to run some kind of PS2 emulator. It would be funny if someone came up with a 360 emulator for the PS3, people could play their 360 games without of RRoD then

its difficult to emulate unfortunately, but i have faith they'll get it done. it'd be in their best interest too because ps2 games will sell way better than ps1 games are

The processor for the ps2 was awkward and unique many monster pcs have been brought down to there knees trying to emulate a ps2 game.

Personally my computer gets .5 fps on the title scene with no geometry being rendered...

If Xbox classics can be played on the 360, I don't see how it would not be possible on the PS3 to play PS2 games as a download.

we just busted through all that my friend

I'm not entirely sure PS2 games would sell better.

The only reason I've bought PS1 games at all is to put them on to my PSP. And there's no way that'd be possible with PS2 games.

So the question becomes, what percentage of people buying PS1 games does so to play on the PS3 itself?

What do you mean 'put them on your PSP'? You mean playing it through your PS3 to PSP with Remote Play, right? I have a PSP and have only been able to play that way due to the PS1 discs being physically too large to fit in my PSP.

but the point of playing ps2 games would be to play them on the ps3. thats not even possible for a growing percentage of owners
