Given how poorly most PS1 games have aged, I'd much rather play an SNES game any day. So, if anything, they're underpriced.


Surely you must be kidding. Are you trying to argue SNES games look better? I could say this same thing but replace PS1 with SNES. Only a few SNES games still look good even today. They are aged 2D games with low quality graphics. Most of the best PS1 games look great today. RE2 and 3 have aged very well. The FF games still look great. PS1 games look awesome on my HDTV. 

I have an HDTV as well, and I popped Medievil PS1 into my PS2 last month.  I was astounded at how terrible it looked playing it now considering the fond memories I had from when that game first came out.

You can get PS2 classics (just the last gen) for $10 besides San Andreas because Rocker thinks they are special. PS1 classics are $6 to $10. NES games should be 2-3$ and SNES 4-$5. These are near ancient games, sure it costs money to add in new controls but that's where the price comes in. Besides that they cost pretty much nothing to port. I guess this rules out any chance of me buying any classic games besides Metroid and the old Zeldas. Instead it's 4.99-$5.99 for NES games and 7.99-$8.99 for SNES games. That means besides a few of the rare $10 PS1 classics, SNES games are a few dollars more than most PS1 games on PSN! 



I don't consider $8 a rip-off for SNES games when it would cost you far more to buy the games outside the Virtual Console.  Good luck to you if you think you can get Final Fantasy 3 or especially Secret of Mana for cheaper.
