The hard part comes when lawyers get involved.

Sony's legal team has to "check there are no issues with any of the content in the game being under an expired license, or any confusion over ownership of the publishing rights" before a game can be cleared for release on the PSN. While that may sound like a simple procedure, consider how many games have made use of licensed soundtracks, or licensed vehicles, or licensed sporting teams.

While those licenses may have been applicable back in the 1990s, things may have changed by now, with companies merging, going out of business or simply changing the way they handle licensed content. So if a license that was cool to use in 1997 is no longer cool in 2011, there's a problem, and in many cases that can mean long delays. For example, Sony says some games have been awaiting legal clearance since 2007 or, worse, the game can never be re-released.[/i]

No hope of Out Run or Side By Side Special or Side By Side Special 2000 or any PS2 Battle Gear game getting rereleased. fuk!
