Resident Evil and Tekken 2 available near launch

Resident Evil Director's Cut and Tekken 2 will be two of the first PSone games that you'll be able to download to your PS3, with Sony Japan confirming that Japanese gamers will have access to PS3's online service from day one of the console's launch there on November 11.

Also available at launch is Blast Factor - the first of Sony's twitch-gaming Arcade-a-like downloadables.

PS3's link with PSP will see you able to download PSone games then transfer them across to the handheld. Although, how long it'll take - and what extra, like software, will be required - is anyone's guess.

Japanese gamers will also be able to access a demo of Ridge Racer 7 from launch day, soexpect to see exclusive downloads here too.
