The BBFC spilled the beans early, but Konami's psychological survival horror Silent Hill is now available to European PSN accounts. For we filthy Capitalismos stuck in America, we could theoretically make a Euro account and buy it that way, but it will cost us expensive pound coins. Still, it might not cost that much considering the UK economy has collapsed quicker than a baby's skull in Croydon.
Oh, and obtaining an EU credit card is probably more work than it's worth. I already have one though, since I am the don.
The PSOne Classics page is easily my favorite part of the PlayStation Store, since I'm a whore for nostalgia. I just wish the US PSN would do more with it. Silent Hill, Metal Gear Solid, Abe's Oddyssey and anything from Square Enix are all noticeably absent. Please fix that, Sony. Fix it or I'll be forced to write mean things about you on a blog.

Lovely. Just make my nightmares all the more real why don't you. :P
I agree, where the HELL are our classics on the PSN store? Resident Evil 1 2 and 3? I really don't want to pay 20+ bucks for a new copy of RE2 because I lost my Leon Disc.
I remember before the PS3 came out with SOTN on the network.. People were asking almost a hundred bucks for a copy of it.
Please fix this Sony, people gouge for classic PSX games.
Simple.
The PSOne classics section over here is normally totally void of anything worthwhile: a couple of the games I actually would have purchased for it were for some reason discontinued before I got a PS3, and in comparison to the American and Japanese ones we have nothing. I'm glad to finally see something good on here though; since I played Silent Hill 2 last year i've been looking for a copy of the first entry to no avail.
I'll be getting this shortly :)
But in real life. And with video game related people. I can see it now.
Also Barcode's comment makes no sense.
