The PSOne Classics area is my favorite part of the PlayStation Store, but the variety of downloads are woefully pitiful considering the PlayStation's vast library of classic games. This is made even worse when you see how stocked the Japanese Store is. Come on Sony, get your act together. No good reason has been provided for the huge gap between our Store and the Japanese one.

I want my Final Fantasy VII now!
So, opinions time. Is this coming to North America? If so, when?

What effect, if any, do you think this will have on the value of the original playstation title?

Do you think this could be an incentive for someone to pick up a PS3 or PSP?
