If you find it enjoyable to play older PS1 games, then sure.

Being able to download (digital distribution) is an awesome service, but there are hardly many games that people haven't already purchased via UMD for their PSP. It's time to relase NEW games instead of ported PS1 games or older releases now available for digital distribution.

psp won the handheld fight in my mind a long time ago.....Just like 360 and ps3 don't even compete with the wii.....

Nintendo put out crap and tell the consumer its gold and people buy it ...even tho it never gets played....

yeah because they sell 500,000 units a day

and every day ...the ds gets about 500 plays...and then they never play it again and the new people play it for the day they get it...and they cycle continues....I own a ds myself

I love my PSP, but it's a completely different animal than the DS. If I'm going on a short trip for work, I don't even bother bringing my laptop anymore. It's incredible how much it can do if you know how to use it.

If I ever thought of turning the PSP on, I would get it. The PSP gets the short shift in my "lack-of-time" crunch though.

No, you have to download a PS1 game from the PS Store onto the PS3's hard drive. Then you connect the PSP to the PS3 with the USB cable and copy the PS1 game from the PS3 to the PSP.

Or you can put a PS1 game disc into the PS3 and play it through Remote Play. I've never done it myself but it sounds like a cool feature.

Sorry I'm a bit slow, I can't get what you are saying, so in short I can't play them on my psp? (is that what you are saying?)
