That would be amazing.
I would like Wipeout XL and Wipeout 3 on PSN as well while we're at it.

Yeah gotta switch to alternate controls on Renegade. So much better than when I played it on the PSP.

These are really good, I missed out on Elite and Renegade Squadron when they originally came out.
Really glad I got these. I got Force Unleashed PSP also and it's pretty awesome.
I'm ready for May 4th!

Correct.
I got it and tried it on PS3. It's an absolute garbage port. From the controls (you have to hold a button to strafe) to the ridiculously bad framerate (sub 5 at times), it's a mess.
And somehow I think the engine is rendering at lower than the 320x200 resolution of the PC version.

Since you haven't had a straight answer:
Of Renegade or Elite Squadron, I would personally choose Elite Squadron because of the ground -> space battles. I found it adds a bit more variety to the game, and it still has the same campaign/galactic conquest/instant action of Renegade Squadron.
Of Elite Squadron or Battlefront 2, that's up to your personal tastes. Battlefront 2 PSP is a gimped version of the home console game, so if you played it on any other console it's not really necessary. It doesn't have a campaign (I never played those in Battlefront games anyway) but does have instant action/galactic conquest. It works really well on Vita because you can map aiming to the second stick, which differentiates it from the Squadron games which use trigger-based lock-on aiming (making them slightly easier).
Basically, you can't go wrong with any of them if you like Star Wars Battlefront games. I mean, I talk down of Battlefront 2 for being a gimped version, but it's still one of my favourite games of all time and having a portable version is ace.
BF2 controls the best, easily. Which is sad because Renegade Squadron seems to be the best of them content-wise.
Also, the PSP Mega Bundle is now $20 instead of $40.

Happy fourth Everybody!
Really leaning towards Renegade after reading every single post here, but still torn...
How is renegade Vita mapping to second stick?

Bumping for PSA. I take it today is the last day this sale is going on?
Pulled the trigger on Renegade hope its good, but I can't play it for a while because of no room on my Vita. lol

Still can't decide which to get... leaning towards battlefront 2 for the remapping with aiming. Avoiding renegade due to the post about the graphics when coming from battlefront 2...
Is the combat actually fun in elite, not too cheap/arcade?
I mostly just want to play flying about about during a Hoth battle, shooting the legs of those walkers. I remember an old PC game I used to play with a really terrible joystick when I was younger. So much fun.

So what's the best one to buy?
Sale ends when the store updates tonight.

2 is fun, but really gimped if you played the home console versions. However, the remapping works best - you can literally get perfect dual-stick controls and it's fun.
I'd recommend Elite over 2/Renegade personally. It feels the most developed.
Use Adhoc Party or X-Link Kai?
Thanks. I picked up elite yesterday after seeing you can have flying hoth battles, I have battlefront 2 on pc. You can get great dual stick controls with elite as well after setting controls to alternative so you are aiming with the face buttons in-game, and you just assign the right stick to the face buttons. You can even invert aim with the game settings.
It's pretty janky though. The flying in Star Wars Shadows of the Empire (1998) seemed quite a bit better iirc. Could be worse I guess. Maybe need to spend more time with it.

I had no idea you could do that. I thought it had lock-on aiming with the shoulder buttons?
I'll give it a try tonight
