What is taking them so long to release everything? Sonys emulator is almost flawless. Why cant they release every "greatest hit" now? I want Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 on my PSP.

Well, considering that PSN is wayyy behind on features that were promised early on, they probably have most of their people working on that instead of content. Also, even though the games run through the PS1 emulator, the games have to be tested for compatibility on both PS3 and PSP. Its not enough just to have it run, considering they are going to sell them. Another thing to know is that you are going to see very little 3rd party games on PSN due to licensing issues. Which means pretty much the only thing your going to see are games originally published by Sony and a few 3rd party games that were crazy popular...like a few Squaresoft games. As of now Tekkan 2 is the only non Sony game on PSN I think.

I guess licencing issues are the reason because some people have these games already on their psp and they're not from PSN.

Every thursday I wait to see what the PSN update brings us, today nothing. What am I waiting for? Metal Gear Solid. I know there are alternative methods, but I'll be waiting for the legit way to get it on my psp.
