This bodes well for future high-profile PS1 title releases to take place simultaneously in Europe and the US. We didn't expect this to happen at all, but we hope SCEE keeps it up.

Not it Europe, but good news for them! They finally get a good game at the same time as the rest of the world

That's great news to hear, I'll be buying it as soon as I get back home from work. I hope this trend continues when other games like Metal Gear Solid are released too, though it sucks that Capcom needs to go through extra loopholes to get Resident Evil: Directors Cut released here.

Give them time, I'd expect them to be released before or as part of the PSP Go launch.

It's probably coming. Jack Tretton kept repeating 364 games (or so) on Playstation platforms this year (which to those guys means fiscal year, extending to March of '10). So, a good portion of those games must be PS1 re-releases.

I have 7 n 9 on physical disc still. So I want 8 to fill in the gap.
Not too bad if they can keep it at £6 either.

That's great news, finally some European love.

I'm still pissed at Square for that stunt they pulled with FF XIV. It's like XII all over again...
Anyway downloaded VII. I'm about 5 hours in or so. Right after the destruction of sector 7. The game has held up really well. Looks just as good as anything on the DS.

Buy this game, even if you already own it! Who knows, it may convince them to do a remake if enough people show they're willing to buy the classic?

Great! I guess I'll spend a good portion of today refreshing the store in anticipation! Hopefully 8 and 9 will follow too but not until I'm done with 7!

Has anyone purchased this yet? I own the CD version of FFVII but would buy the PSN version if the switched the button map to have X as accept (the disc version has O mapped to accept and X to cancel which is opposite of almost every other game and its confusing)

You can switch the x and o buttons in the options/config menu (on the American download version anyway).

Erm, yay!
I've had £15 in my store account just waiting to be spent for about 6 months now...a shame it's not gonna be £3.49 like a few of the other PS1 games.

ZOMG!
Providing it's not ridiculously overpriced, i'll get it. I'd like Resi 1 sometime as well...

Why is SCE always screwing Europe? I'd hate to use PSN over there...well I guess I wouldn't hate it 'cause there's barely anything to dislike seeing as how SCEE never gives that region's PSN users anything hardly.
