Sony promising more PSone classics on PSN "soon"

Sony has pledged that the company will be making more PSone titles available for download over PlayStation Network following a distinct lack of retro classics in western markets.
In comparison, Sony Japan has been treating PS3 owners to an abundance of classic PSone titles over the past two years, including the likes of Resident Evil 2, Dino Crisis, Metal Gear Solid and Policenauts.
However, Sony Computer Entertainment America (SCEA) Director of Hardware Marketing, John Koller, has said that consumers can expect more PSone classics to be made available on the PlayStation Store in the near future.
“Yes, we are working on further PSone additions to the PS Store and should see those launch shortly," he told MTV’s Multiplayer blog.
Be sure to let us know what games you’d like to see on the PS Store in the comments section below.

It is my opinion and therefore fact that these titles are very welcome, Broken Sword 1 & 2, Myst 1 & 2, Discworld 1 & 2. It would also be nice if Sony could release Broken Sword's 3 & 4, Myst's 3, 4 & 5. The PS3 is in desperate need of some point n'click action!!

@ #7 yeah that was a great game, but I had it for Dreamcast so I'm sure it was a PS2 game not a PS1 game. But Xenogears would be great, as well as Brave Fencer Musashi, Persona, and just about all RPG's on the PS1. That should be the only games they release from the PS1 until they build up their RPG catalog. All other generes are covered.

I want to see Parasite Eve ! & 2, Rollcage (since I can't find it anywhere), Bust a Groove (same problem as Rollcage), and a bunch of GOOD RPGs like Legend of Dragoon, Xenogears, pretty much anything Square did. I was kind of hoping that the "classics" part of the store was something Sony would have been working harder on. Oh and for the record, I think the MKII release that they have blows.

I have tons of PS1 games, surely there must be a way to install them to the PS3 without having to re-pay to get them, some of them old games are made by companys that have long gone and been bought by other companys, ie Virgin Interactive, i have one game that and ill suprise you lot here, lol, is from Electronic Arts, before they got greedy and lazy - Need For Speed: Road Challenge, now thats a PS1 Classic, i also have Thrill Kill too but that will never ever make it to the store, hence a way to install old PS1 classics to the HardDrive of the PS3

@baybud
Have you seen the cost of some of those PS1 classics on ebay? That's assuming you can even find them....
Really, for the sake of their respective franchises, we should really see the Suikodens, Grandias, Xenogears, all the old RPGs from PS1 should be put up on the store. I doubt any of those games are in the works for being remade and sold again, so they're really just preventing a whole new group of gamers from enjoying them.
