Can I play PSP games on my PS3?

So I got a PS3 recently and apparently you can buy and download PSP games. So I was hoping this meant you could just go ahead and play them on the PS3 through some kind of virtual console, much like the PS One Classics (I bought Breath of Fire IV so far), and didn't have to own a PSP. I really wanted to play FFT: War of the Lions but don't want to have to buy a PSP.

However, it seems different from the PS One Classics in its description, makes it sound like you can only play it by downloading it to a PSP, so I wanted to ask if it's possible to play the PSP games on the PS3 console itself or if it's just a glorified hard drive? This would save me buying something I can't play.

OH, BTW, what is up with charging 9.99 for all the Squarenix titles whereas everything else is 5.99? Just...blargh. If it weren't so blatant I wouldn't have mentioned it.
