I'm not sure what Sony has against those outside of Japan, but US PSP owners wanting to download PS1 games onto their PSP really haven't had much to get excited about. Nearly every game available for download on the US PLAYSTATION Store is either garbage or there is a better version in the series already on PSP. Tekken 2 or Wipeout aren't that appealing when we can already play more recent and better versions of each on the PSP. Meanwhile, Japan gets 21 PS1 game downloads to choose from and there are some heavy-hitters in the lot too, like Resident Evil, R-Types, Arc the Lad and Mr. Driller. I've only downloaded 1 of the 11 games available in the US and it isn't for a lack of desire. Stop teasing us Sony and give those outside of Japan some worthwhile downloads!

Its true, but since Japan is probably like the control in the lab...Just keep testing to see what the majority likes. Then when they find out..bam...its going to be a huge hit in America too.

well, we do have pop station.

but yeah, japan gets everything..monster hunter 2 for ps2....sigh..

lol, we cant have the best of both worlds

It would be nice to see Sony start re-releasing more than just a few racing games.

As usual Sony screws the rest of the world, you guys in the US should be happier considering the european launch of PS3 is going to be nearly twice as much as the US equivalent. The PS1 games will be the same. The same rollout will happen in the US eventually and the UK will have to wait twice as long.

blah... i never liked ps1 game that much anyway

psp games are much better than ps1
but japan has always better things than the rest of the world
