One of the biggest draw cards of the PSP back what when it was released was the ability to play PSone games, available for download from the Playstation Portable website. The PS3 was going to share the same ability. Now, Sony has finally launched the ability to share PSone game between the PSP and the PS3.

With the 1.70 firmware release a short time back came the ability to share the PSone games between the two systems. The first round of games includes 2Xtreme, Crash Bandicoot, Destruction Derby, Jet Moto, Jumping Flash, MediEvil, Rally Cross, Syphon Filter, Tekken 2 and WipeOut for only $5.99 US.

For PAL users, the patch provides the same functionality, however the list hasn’t been updated as well as the US has.

Check your PS store to find the latest games but don’t be hoping for too much just yet.
