PSP Games Re-Rated by ESRB for PlayStation Certified Devices

Just Sony following through with the transition.
It should come as no surprise that some PSP games are going to be making their way into other PlayStation devices. As such, Sony has obtained new ESRB ratings for some PSP games, including Daxter, Syphon Filter: Dark Mirror, flOw, and 8 tables in Pinball Heroes for the purpose of seeing them on PlayStation Certified devices.
It will be interesting to see where some of these games end up and what changes may be made. They'll presumably be making their way to the Vita or Sony Tablet, but some changes will probably be made for the Tablet and it's always interesting to play a familiar game with a new control scheme.
Is there a game on this list (or off it) that you are looking forward to on another platform?

Shocker: PS Vita downloads cheaper than boxed games

 

Digital copies of games that you download bypass the time-and-money-consuming manufacturing, logistics and retail processes. It's only natural that we as consumers expect some of that saving to be passed along to our own wallets. There's a fair chunk of evidence to suggest that downloading PS Vita games over PSN will result in a ten percent saving on the boxed edition (that you'd have to drive to a store for, and everything). Of course, it would be unseemly to point out that those few dollars will spell the death-knell for thousands of jobs, so we won't.
