PS Vita firmware 1.8 to add PSOne Classics
The Vita will get its PSOne Classics support with the update to firmware version 1.8.
Sony still hasn't announced a date for PSOne Classics to appear on the PlayStation Vita, but we at least know the system update number. Sony will be adding the support with firmware 1.8, said to be coming sometime this summer. Currently, the system is at firmware v1.69.
We don't know what games will be coming once the functionality has been added, but we do know that games will come in waves. Rather than make the entire Classics library (already on PS3/PSP) available instantly, Sony will be releasing them in regular updates. If you already own the game on PlayStation Network, you'll be able to download it to your Vita again for free.
Sony showed Final Fantasy VII, Tomb Raider, Wild Arms, Twisted Metal 2, Arc the Lad, Cool Boarders 2, and Jet Moto when it announced the Classics at E3, so it seems those are probably set to come earlier than later.

It's disappointed how badly Sony is gimping this thing. So many features we still don't have that it should have had since day one of release.

I wanna get one, but I'm having difficulty justifying it with the selection of games. Persona 4 will help, but it still needs more. While the 3DS launch lineup wasn't spectacular, it's not bad now AND I can play all my regular DS games on it.

I hope the "waves" are fairly quick, it'll be frustrating to wait for the ones I want. Though I suppose if they stick a Final Fantasy in the opening wave I'll be good for a while. I want to get Crash Team Racing on Vita too, I played so much of that back in the day it would be awesome to get into it again.
