Don't just take the exact same PS1 content and dump it on the PSN, do some minor updates such as graphical enhancements and networking features, and make it more of an event. Look at how much interest and goodwill the 360 gets for selling games like Marathon. Sure, you can download a similar restored and enhanced version for *free* on PC/Mac/Linux, but the Microsoft version provided a theatrical release which a lot of people really appreciate, and resulted in lots of gamer enjoyment and goodwill. They really should have done this back in Q1/Q2 when there was less PS3 content. Now, it's much less important. But still, sure many people don't care about back catalog content, but there are tons of people who love their old favorites, and would happily pay for better retro content + features.
