Eurogamer Reviews The PS Store

Enhance | June 29, 2007 | Reviews | Playstation 3 
Eurogamer reviews the updated PS1 games Crash Bandicoot, Jumping Flash, and Wipeout that were just recently added to the European PlayStation Store. As the PS3 moves forward with it's retro games downloading service we shall soon see how it stands with the Wii's Virtual Console and the Xbox 360's Arcade.
So where does the PlayStation Store fit into this digital wonderland? The original content has been tentative at best and the choice is still rather sparse. However, it could be that the PS3 makes its stand on pricing. Not only do you get to see exactly how much your download costs in actual currency, but the prices for the first batch of original PlayStation classics are more than reasonable. Just GBP 3.49 (or around EUR 5) is a small price to pay for beloved 32bit titles, especially when compared to the cost of N64 games on the Wii. Even though the fact that the original PlayStation is now officially "retro" makes me feel very, very old, there's a huge list of titles I'm aching to revisit.
