Sony is looking to expand their PlayStation Network service to make it a more attractable feature rather than a gimmick. One of Sony’s most recent acts was the release of PSN cards, allowing users to take an alternate route to using their credit or debit cards online to purchase from the PSN Store. By doing this, PSN seems more accessible.
Now that Sony is creating ways for more gamers to come in, it is now rumored that they [Sony] is partnering up with a third party Japanese developer to create some remakes of their past games, which will be downloadable through the PSN. The Japanese developer has not yet been revealed, but just the notion of being able to experience nostalgia by playing a Capcom, Konami, or even Square-Enix (formally known as SquareSoft) remake, is enough to get any gamer that is 20 years or older excited.
It is key to remember that this is just a rumor, so please do not take this to the bank. If more surfaces, we'll make sure that you are one of the first to know of it.

Ahaa... Nice with some old school retro-tarded games. I actually enjoy replaying them nowadays!
i hope to god it is Square enix, they ( and Sony) would get the most money from making old Final fantasy games then the other devs from japan
For some reason though, I think it would be square, since there games have already been made for the PSP.
mgs remake FTW
Mgs1! Mgs1!! Mgs1!!!
psn id: gingo... this is great news but i would still like the original ps1 games that are not being remade to come to the store and be enjoyed as i have fond memories of many games that have not been brought back yet
ff7 goooooooooo
Resident Evil 2!
Please be proper games. Not PS1 classics!!!
Its what xbox does and i think it will work but i think they should make them HD because the games like crash bandicoot and stuff are crap on ps3 as i was a sucker to download it and another game with a stupid gorrila in it :S
I would love to play the original Resident Evil game again, I lost that darn disc along time ago :(
FF7, and MGS1 with the "Twin Snakes conversion would be nice.
so am i gonna be seein ff7 8 9, metal gear solid and some streetfighters on tha psn soon
Lots of classic I missed out like FF series. and many more that I sure want to download.
GTA: London from the ps1
cool MGS1 remake for the ps3. i liked nintendos version the twin snakes. they should remak resident evil 2 i got that game again a while back
It's not Square. They have better things to do with theit time and resources than piddle around remaking Loaded or something. it's probably either Capcom or Konami if it's true at all.
mgs 1and desrtuction derby 2, that's what i would like first!
FFVII, of course. But then again everyone's asking for that on Blu ray.
mgs and gran-turismo
Yeah, i want more games. I want Metal Slug as the Japanese psn has and etc.
hmmm well i hope it speeds things up alot actually the game id like to see hit ps1 classics other the FF8 is legend of dragoon anyone else play that? it was my favorite RPG from ps1 i like the battle system and concept even more then FF8 i never played 7...
I can see it now "why doesn't sony focus their attention on making new games instead". I can't wait!!!!
at last....
Look forward to seeing more classics, maybe some games I have forgotten or never really heard of but wanted to play any way.
With improved visuals, that would be cool too!
haha yea mgs would be awesome,and capcom vs. marvel...man i loved both those games!!
The RE classics, that's a must have. Resident Evil 1, 2 and 3.
I want some good ol' Pong!!!
