I really wanted to but i keep hearing it's the PS1 version that apparently had atrocious loading times (i played snes and ds). any news on that front?
Yeah unless they fixed the load times, the SNES and DS versions are the way to go. The PSX version was just cringe-worthy with the load times.
Perhaps not bad if you didn't originally play them elsewhere, but its still hard not to notice either way.
Same with FFVI on PSX.

Wow, the same price as ps2 games, and we're not even sure if it's the inferior, loading heavy version...no thanks.
This is barely 1 dolar for me! How many times Chrono Trigger has been re-released? Not buying that again.
It's been said already, but I'm going to jump in too and say: just get the DS version! ...or even the Wii Virtual Console version, neither of which have load times.
I would probably get it if it were the updated version that released for DS with extra content. Which I already have. But load times probably won't be an issue given that the game is going to be installed content.
Now they just need to release Chrono Cross so I can finally have a replacement for the copy my first PS3 ate.

"Fans" Before: Waah, waah, we want Chrono Trigger on PSN but Mean-Ol Squeenix won't take our money!
"Fans" After: Pfft! 4 more dollars?! I'll just continue pirating it instead!

I was considering it before I saw the price. I'll wait for Square to give it away free as a Playstation Plus offer instead.
Glad it's on PSN though. Now bring us Legend of Dragoon, Final Fantasy IV, V, VI, Bushido Blade I & II, Brave Fencer Musashi, Chrono Cross Suikoden II and a long list of others.
(I'd also like to see a port of Rocket Robot on Wheels from the N64 to PSN since it's a Sucker Punch IP and they're now owned by Sony; worked for Rare with Banjo-Kazooie).

I'm buying it. Because Dark Souls screwed me over and I'm not getting my preorder today. And because I own 0 copies of Chrono Trigger at this point. So, it looks like I have some free time in between Portal 2 DLC sessions. Filling the void? Chrono Trigger.
Pretty sure the load times were related to the PS1's 1x CD drive. I'd expect that reading from flash memory/HDD will be a lot faster.
@Berzerk: Not necessarily. Lots of PS1 Classics have long load times, despite not being on disc anymore.
Hasn't everything Square released on PSN been $9.99 besides Vagrant Story? I don't see where the surprise comes from.
Besides instead of spending $9.99 on one game just spend an extra $5 and get all three arc the lad games or like many others have said pick up the DS version/ virtual console version.

People have been playing the PS1 version of CT on PSP via CFW for ages. The load times are the same. It's like it emulates the PS1 exactly
As much as I want to support the Chrono series, I can't justify buying this version.
When it comes to portable, non-pirated CT:
$9.99 for a non-physical, inferior port with horrible load times
or
$14.99 for a physical, load-time-free DS version with additional content
Tough call there. /sarcasm

I'd pick this up if it were the SNES original. But they couldn't pay me enough to play the pile of crap that they made out of the PSX port, which is all that they're offering here.
Unless they removed the load times (extremely doubtful), this should be a pass for everyone. It's a shoddy, disrespectful port and it's shameful that it's getting so much hype on sites like Destructoid.

Which version is this? Vanilla SNES rom dump? PSOne Classic dump? Fancy version ported from DS? New version made specifically for PSN?
Im with the majority here. $10 is too much for a botched port. I may pick it up if it ever goes on sale to $5 bucks on a future week, but $10 with load times... eh. Ive played this game enough. And it may be blasphemy, but I didnt find Trigger all that mind blowing. I prefer the Superior Chrono Cross, which was IMO the PSOne's Finest RPG other than Xenogears
(the Import Megaman games too. $6 is too much, but I grabbed MM2 when it was $3 2 months back)

Man, is there any way this could have been released and everybody NOT be butthurt? If it was the SNES version everyone would complain that it's just an emulated copy and insist that they will just emulate it for free. If it was a port of the DS version with the extras everybody would complain that it's not portable and insist they will just emulate it for free. In fact, unless it was given away for free people would just bitch about it and talk about emulating it. Is the PSX version a perfect version? No, it isn't. Is it a totally playable (and enjoyable) version of one of the best games of the 16bit era? Totally. There may be better versions out there but if you don't have any of the Nintendo platforms it is available for and don't want to "just emulate it" then this is a chance to play the game.
P.S. I've never understood the mentality on boards like this for people to just rush in and crap all over every story...

Cool! The ps1 version of Chro....(Now Loading)....no Trigger is finally on.......(Now Loading)...... PSN!
Just get the version off the wii virtual console for $8.

I have the DS version of Chrono Trigger, but I do love the game. Maybe if I ever buy a PS3, I'll give it a go. The possibility of buying a PS3 or Vita seems more and more likely with the news of Sony's desire to make more classics available. I can here Legend of Mana, Front Mission 3 and many others calling my name.
@Godzillafan Considering they've released the worst possible version of this game at the highest current price for ps1 classics I'd say the butthurt is reasonably justified. If the SNES or DS versions were ported most would be happy, even at this price
Only have $10 on my account, am waiting for Chrono Cross. What's really ridiculous is the Oddworld games are both $10, when they're at the non-premium price on the Euro store.
I just recently got the DS version, since it's superior. Chrono Cross on the other hand is something I definitely will be buying.
@Godzilla - Were you not here yesterday when they announced several ps2 games for $10 each? The vast majority of comments were made in celebration. Do you not see the disconnect in logic between charging the same price for a ps2 game and an inferior port of a game two generations older?
Fuck Sony! I hope they don't sell a copy, I wasn't planning on getting it since I've already played it, but it saddens me to see that this price will probably put off interested people new to it.
I'm not sure if I will buy this one. I already have Chrono Trigger on DS and Playstation, but some time in the future I may want it for my PSP/Vita. It's a great game that is actually worth owning multiple copies of - just in case. Especially because the saves will most likely be cross-compatible with my PS1 version.
But the game I really want from PS One Classics is Final Fantasy VI. Any news on when that is supposed to come out?

One of my favorite RPGs, but considering the price and its the crappy PS1 version I will hold off. Maybe I will pick it up if it goes on sale.
I'm going to stick with the PS2 classics released today for the exact same price until we can get some confirmation on which version of the game Square-Enix put on the PSN.
