I would actually (gasp!) pay full price for this. As one of my friends
so succinctly put it, right now my PSP is a $250 Tetris player (all I
have is Lumines).

This news was a whole lot more exciting before we gained the ability to play both of these titles via the Sony PSX emulator.

The time for warmed over ports from the PSX to the PSP was before the emulator was functional - not after.
