I am very confused by your title, but you can play any PS1 game on the ps3. I played Final Fantasy VIII a few weeks ago, you don't need to buy it off PSN. I think thats what you mean. Anyways your question is confusing.

Hehe. I understand what you're say. Some people just aren't informed about their PS3 sadly. No, so far you can't.

EDIT: And yes, you need a PSP.

You can play any PS1 game downloaded from PSN on you PS3, to verify this just look at the title of the game on the Playstation store and in brackets it will often say PS3/PSP indicating that those two platforms support the title.

Yes you can. Just a friendly fact you can only transfer your downloaded ps1 game to a psp a certain number of times.

Yes, you can play PS1 games on the PS3 and PSP. All PS3 versions can play PS1 games, but not all can play PS2 games.

ALL PS3s can play PS1 games, off of PSN or their disc form. That is all.

Yes, you can play them on your PS3.

The information states that IF you want to play it on the psp... you'll need a cable.

No, not really. You can either connect your PSP to your PS3 via USB cable to transfer the game or you can go wirelessly to the PSN on your PSP and download the game.
