Vita only supports eight PSOne Classics with Firmware 1.8

You know how Sony promised that when Firmware 1.8 hit the PlayStation Vita the handheld would support over one hundred PSOne Classics? Well it seems they were off by about two digits because in disappointing fashion that only Sony can deliver, they have only made nine PSOne games purchasable or downloadable on the Vita with the update.

If you happen to live in Europe you’ll actually get quite a lot of them, while those with a PS3 can actually transfer over a number of other PSOne Classics in an effort to absolutely confuse any members of their user base because apparently being user friendly is a thing of the past. The list of various games “supported” can be seen below:
