Here's a very positive piece of news
from Sony Computer Entertainment's Gamers Day: Sony revealed how PS1 games would end up on
PSP's memory stick. The PSP will get its games from the
PS3. Instead of building a network specifically for the PSP, or
trying to connect the PSP to Sony's Connect service, gamers can log
into the PlayStation Store using their PS3, find your favorite PS1
games there, buy and download them, and then enjoy it on your
PSP. IGN speculates that that the
PlayStation Store will also be integrated into the PSP in a future
PSP firmware update. For now though, the console is integral for
digital distribution. A number of PS1 gamers are already listed on
the PlayStation Store. There is no promise though if the
titles will be available for the PSP during launch. As for pricing, stuff on the PlayStation Store shouldn't exceed $15, so the price for PS1 game downloads should be within that range. Personally all I can say is this: "Hot
Damn. Finally!" Allow me to geek-out for a bit and say that Final Fantasy: Tactics better be up on that
Store, okay, geeking-out over. Anyway, is the PSP-PS3 integration we've been waiting for? Feel free to comment. |

» positive?
This isnt positive news at all!! I hope they meant on the next firmware update as 3.00 which is supposed to be out this month.
Though some one from Sony did say:
In October you will be able to download PS1 games for your PSP. The PS3 comes out next month so you prob will be able to download with PSP still.

» Question.
Did people actually expect Sony would just let you use your own PS1 discs to play on the PSP for free? No one actually expect it would be like the Virtual Console or Xbox Live Arcade where you buy, then download the game you want and play?

» regarding PSX on PC...
I thought a few comanies have tried PSX emulation on PC, (ie. connectix Virtual Game Station) and sony shut them down. I know there are still emus out there, but I don't think Sony is happy to let their technology play on PC hardware. way too easy to copy and spread. it would only hurt them in the long run.
My prediction is that they will have the PS3->PSP download service up and running for a few months, an then like the Sega Channel, Sony will realize it's a waste of resources, and shut it down. This will piss a few people off, but overall it won't affect many, because noone in their right mind would subscribe.
if I can go to a pawn shop and pick up an old PSX and a pile of games for $30, I can handle only playing them at home.

» Not such a good idea...
1) You need a ps3, not everyone wants to spend 600 bucks.
2) So all the ps1 games you bought before you have to rebuy them for about 10 bucks eh? so thats like what 2-300 dollars for me to rebuy..bull..
3)sony = stupid decision

» I don't see the need for complaint...
As manaox already pointed out, this method of distribution will be pirated sooner or later. I'm sure you'll be able to get all your favorite ports via p2p networks, put them on your memory stick and play. So stop *****ing people. Chances are, you won't have to worry about purchasing a ps3 to utilize the ps1 emulation.
I just hope not EVERYONE jumps on board the piracy bandwagon. Otherwise, I'm sure the amount of ports we'll see will dry up real quick. Hopefully they'll be able to hold out till at least a Castlevania SoTN port is released. =P

» Great Idea
I think this is a great idea. It really shows Sony's commitment to making the PS3 a hub for all forms of entertainment and shows that they're supporting PSP>PS3 connectivity. You didn't see that kind of support with the GBA and GC. So what if you have to buy a PS3 or repurchase your games. If you're that poor that you can't afford this stuff, then trade your foodstamps in for a Wii.

I am not buying a ps3. And probably never will. I was considering buying a psp for ps1 emulation only as the majority of psp games suck ASS. If there is no way to get the ps1 games on psp without the ps3 .. well then sonys not getting my money.

How is this POSITIVE news?
Sony is FORCING PSP owners to buy a Playstation 3 in order to play PS1 games on their PSPs.
That's not POSITIVE - that's Mega-NEGATIVE!
This is the most agressive, bullying tactic I've ever seen from Sony. If PSP owners can't just download the PS1 games and PS1 emulator directly to their PSP from the Internet WITHOUT having to pay $600 for a PS3, nobody is gonna even bother with it and the last real reason to own a PSP will be DEAD.

There's no way in hell I'd buy a PS3 just to download ps1 games for the psp. I'm hoping that this is just an announcemtent saying that you "can" do this with the PS3, not that you "have to". If we "have to", I'll bet the PS1 emulator will beat the virtual boy in the shortest lifespan category.

» $15
um, Sony the ps1 games are over 10 years old. $15 is how much a bundle of 15-30 ps1 games should sell for. Make the download cost $1 for each game and maybe the hackers will not be bothered.

15$ a game...
People who want to play psone games so bad on their psp should just donate 15$ each to people developping a homebrew psx emulator for the psp and stop repeating in 50 different posts the same darn thing.
With that money, im sure they could release the psx emulator before FW 3.00 !!!!
You dont want Sony to screw you !!! Well, stop complaining about it and start screwing them !!!

» Sigh..
You guys think so low; why don't you look at a higher standard? Complaining about the PS3 being so expensive and to refuse to buy one. Listen, the world that we live in has expensive technology written all around it and the PS3 is no different. You guys are like saying that a million dollars is still worth a lot today. Quit being cheap (unless you're dirt poor) and make some money, I'm sure a lot of people will buy PS3s for its' games, but the way you guys are crying, you guys make the PS3 sounds like the main use was supposed to be for the PSP. At least it does something for it and probably go even further (that is if you guys support it) If you don't like it, then don't complain. The PS3 has some promising games and by the looks of it, you get what you pay in the end. It's one of the gaming future and it's cool to play games from the past, but we're aiming for the future.
