I think that $5-10 for a very good PS1 classic is a perfectly reasonable price. I did buy the PS1 classics I own in sales (mostly), but I was perfectly prepared to pay a decent price for a 50-60 hour game that I have never played before (FF VII, VIII, IX)

As for the PS2 games, I have never been interested, most of them are available on PC which is probably better for old games

The HD classics are generally reasonably priced, half the price of new games or even less! I got the Jak trilogy for £25 and that is 3 very good games!

Kindgom Hearts 1.5 HD is probably on the steep side for just 1 full game, but it is still half the price of a brand new game

1.5HD comes with 2 full games actually.

you want to play a game.. you pay for it.

If you think they're worth nothing then why do you even want them?

I don't have much issue with HD re-release prices, but PSN Classics/Virtual console games are way too expensive, IMO. I mean, mobile devs can release new games for less than $10, so why should I have to pay the same price to have an ancient game emulated on my console? Maybe they shouldn't be free, but I'm not paying more that $5 for a 15 y/old game unless it's been given some significant improvements, No more than $1-2.50 for a SNES game regardless. As it is, these current prices are driving me to unabashed piracy!

KH1: RE: CoM (GBA) is one of my favourite games of all time and I'm personally looking forward to the ps3 remake.



PS One/2/p/3slim/Vita owner. I survived the Apocalyps3/Collaps3 and all I got was this lousy signature.

The problem with PSOne Classics isn't that they aren't cheap enough--really, my only price complaint is that Sony never has sales for them--the problem is that Sony requires the developers to pay for server space.

As a result, great games from poor developers like Tenchu 2 are not up there or are pulled down, while moneybags EA puts shovelware like CHAMPIONSHIP BASS up.

This is the Playstation Classics library. It is not an extension of the Playstation Store. It is Sony's equivalent to the Oscars. From a consumer point of view, paying for games this good is perfectly fair, but by the same token Sony shouldn't have to worry too much about getting the rights to put games up that are two generations old: it should be such an honor to developers for their title to even be considered for PS Classics that getting the rights is a foregone conclusion.

Well it obviously can't have a fully 3D game in the same way that the PS2 could... But this game was already remade for the PS2 for KH 2 Final Mix + for Japan (and also released in individually in the US). I don't really know what it counts as, but I am far less excited about that than I am about the KH 1 remake
