After months-long delay, Europe is finally getting a chance to download and play PS1 classics on their PSP and PS3 systems. Although there's no way to directly download games to the PSP yet, those fortunate enough to have both Sony machines will be able to access the following content next week, according to Three Speech:

Crash Bandicoot
Wipeout
Medievil
Jumping Flash
Syphon Filter

Of these titles, we recommend Crash Bandicoot and Jumping Flash the most. These games will be available in the European PS Store on 6/22.

In the paragraph in says "there's no way to directly download games to the PS1 yet". Shouldn't it say PSP instead of PS1?

Good for the EU guys! I hope that Sony manages the PS1 downloads to PC and/or direct to PSP by year end as they've mentioned ... not being a console guy I have enjoyed the PSP as my window into the PS2 world and getting to directly play PS1 games would be a wonderful addition.

Does this count for Australians as well or just Europeans, also are the extra infastructure stages in MPO only for Europeans or does Australia get that as well?
