Today, we received confirmation via Rockstar Games press release that the GTA oldies would soon be available for the PSP through the PSN.

Rockstar Press Release:

As we mentioned, Sony has seemingly decided to nix PS2 backwards compatibility on the PS3 so there’s little doubt we’ll see the GTA oldies made available at some point for PS3 owners: either as a God of War-like remastered blu-ray collection or as individual downloads via the PSN.

We are also proud to unveil the official Rockstar-branded storefront on the PlayStation Network. Launching October 22, the storefront will offer the full complement of new and Legacy Rockstar titles for the PSP system, including Beaterator, Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, and The Warriors, all available for digital download.

So what would you prefer - a remastered blu-ray collection or unaltered PSN downloads? Speak up, Rockstar might be listening.
