Sony have announced a downloadable game service for the PlayStation Portable:

The following first and third-party PlayStation titles can now be purchased for $5.99 from the PlayStation Store accessed through the PS3 system and played on the PSP system: Cool Boarders(R), Crash Bandicoot(TM), Hot Shots Golf(R) 2, Syphon Filter(R), and Tekken 2. Highly anticipated by gamers who want to re-live the classics from the PlayStation catalog, the launch of these PlayStation titles for PSP is the latest example of SCEA connecting its various platforms to deliver value to consumers. The initial lineup represents some of the most popular franchises in the PlayStation library across a range of genres that are perfect for pick-up-and-play gaming when you're on-the-go with your PSP system. Additional first and third-party PlayStation titles will be added on an ongoing basis to the PlayStation Store to keep, with a second batch of PlayStation titles slated for release later this month.

Not sure if this is available for Australians at this point.

well no one here has a PS3 so I doubt it

Is Nintendo still doing that whole back catalogue thingy with games from the NES, SNES, N64, Master System and Mega Drive? God I hope so. Seriously considering getting one next year if there's some fun stuff to play.

Yeah, afaik they are. They put out the whole pricing structure for it recently.

Only with the online content delivery system, not with the back catelogue of games. At least I didn't think microsoft offered that but I don't have a 360.

Microsoft offer an ass-ton of games, including some old PC games like Doom.

The Wii offering sounds pretty good, but I remain unconvinced that Sony can do anything decent in the online space due to their apparent terror of Internet technology.
