Japan PS1 download envy

I'm not sure what Sony has against those outside of Japan, but US PSP owners wanting to download PS1 games onto their PSP really haven't had much to get excited about. Nearly every game available for download on the US PLAYSTATION Store is either garbage or there is a better version in the series already on PSP. Tekken 2 or Wipeout aren't that appealing when we can already play more recent and better versions of each on the PSP. Meanwhile, Japan gets 21 PS1 game downloads to choose from and there are some heavy-hitters in the lot too, like Resident Evil, R-Types, Arc the Lad and Mr. Driller. I've only downloaded 1 of the 11 games available in the US and it isn't for a lack of desire. Stop teasing us Sony and give those outside of Japan some worthwhile downloads!

I think it would be cool if Sony was to bring games that where on the PS1 but where only in Japan. It would be neat if games people over in the US never got to play. So if Sony was to give some of the PS1 games that where only in Japan English that would be cool. This would be some thing that would be really cool if Sony was to do this. This would also let people play games a lot of people never played before.

Sony: "For sale, American console dominance and consumer confidence. Free or best offer."

Sony is doing this because they don't want our time to be taken up by old ps1 games instead of new PSP games.
Why else would they be doing this?

At least America has it, Australia hasn't received anything, I don't think the UK has either!
