With Final Fantasy VII sitting as one of the top downloads on the PlayStation Store month after month, Square Enix has decided to add Final Fantasy VIII to their PSN roster. The PSone Classic title can be played on both PSP and PS3, and is priced at $9.99 on the US PlayStation Store. John Yamamoto, President and CEO of Square Enix, Inc. spoke about the addition of the game to the store,

"We’re very excited to share the Final Fantasy VIII experience with not only a new generation of RPG gamers, but also all of our long-time Final Fantasy fans. Final Fantasy VII received an incredibly warm reception on the PlayStation Network, and we are thrilled to see what possibilities this latest release of Final Fantasy VIII will bring to the franchise."

Square Enix have also put together a minimalist website alongside the PS Store release of the game. For series fans that haven't played FFVIII, $10 is a pretty fair price to play arguably one of the best games in the series.
