If you've been hankering to play those classic PSone games on something besides your PSP (or your, uh, PSone ...), then your reception of Sony's recent 1.7 PS3 firmware update was likely something of a mixed bag. On the one hand, news that the PSone emulation software was enabled, allowing you to play the games you've already been rocking on your handheld, was great; however, the revelation that the functionality would not work until May probably left you a little frustrated.

Well, it's May and Sony has announced that the PSone format software available from the PlayStation Store will now be operable on both the PS3 and PSP systems. If you've already purchased any titles, you'll be able to re-download them to your PS3 at no additional charge. We'll give our copy of Crash Bandicoot a spin on the PS3 later today and report back on how it goes. Now, if we could only skip the PS3 entirely and download straight to the PSP ...
Compatible titles include:

2Xtreme
Crash Bandicoot
Destruction Derby
Jet Moto
Jumping Flash
MediEvil
Rally Cross
Syphon Filter
Tekken 2
WipeOut

I just picked up destruction derby and wipeout. They are all pretty great games from the very begining. Im just shocked they didnt release warhawk since they are making a new one cause ive been dying to play that again.
