Five PSP minis already PS3-compatible

The rest to be ready by Thursday.

Although Sony had previously said it would be 17th December before PSP minis were ported for use on the PS3's new emulator, the official blog reveals that five are compatible as of now.

They are: Dynogems (£2.49 / €2.99), Heracles Chariot Racing (£3.49 / €3.99), Let's Golf! (£3.99 / €4.99), Telegraph Crosswords (£3.49 / €3.99) and Beat 'Em Up (£2.49 / €2.99). We'll be taking a look at the emulation soon.

(Update: My bad. Eurogamer's resident Blacksmith of the Future, Digital Foundry's Rich Leadbetter, says that three are three others available now too: Echoes, Stand o' Food and Breakquest.)
