Why doesn't Australia get the classics like America?

After searching for many days on the PS Store and Internet I found that Australia does not offer some popular PsOne Classics. In particular I was very sad about the PS Store not offering Spyro 2, my favourite childhood game. I was wondering whether Sony has any plans of bringing these games onto the PS Store in the near future or whether I should contact Sony directly about my issue.

 

Thanks for your help.

Can't you make an American account and buy your stuff from there? Or does that not work for some reason?

Different countries have different publsiher for certain games, and although Spyro was originally released by Sony in the PSOne days, Activision now own the rights to the game and the characters so it's ultimately up to them if they want to release it on the Australian Store. Best bet would be to send them a request email to get the word out that the game is wanted in Australia.

I couldnt agree more. Trine2 was a perfect example, being on the USA store for 2-3 months before it hit the AU store. Sure you can just make a USA account and buy american psn money from online shops but its well known that our store is crud.

Yeah seriously, what the hell. I went to buy Spyro 1 and it was gone. I swear that was out ages back. And where the hell is our copy of Breath of Fire 3 and 4 and Legend of Mana?! Are we somehow less important then America to playstation. Way harsh bros..
If its up to the publisher, then Sony should hit them up. It's not like fans and customers can do squat. Especially not in australia apparently >_>
