What the hell do you mean awesome? Surely you mean, about fucking time seeing as they promised full PS2 compatability from the start...

@The_A_Drain: Sony has developed a reputation (in my book) for not bothering to make consumers happy. No price drop. Broken promises. Lackluster first-party games.
Besides, they did have full PS2 compatibility in two of the six versions of the console that have come out. 33% ain't bad...

Not for Europe, we got software emulation from day one, then we lost that after like, 4 months.

@choffy21:
... Anyway...
I don't think releasing PS2 games over PSN is a bad idea, provided I can play the ones I already own on a disc. That way they can make a packet releasing all those RPGs that are up on ebay for extortionate prices, i'd buy those seeing as I don't already have (all of) them,

Here's the patent for anyone interested. Thanks Siliconera, Kotaku, Joystiq, and every other outlet for not bothering to provide links to the source.
After a quick scan through there's no question that this is indeed the latest patent in a long line of emulation patents from Sony.

This would be great but probably part of their 10 year plan like the trophy room in home.
So expect this to launch when the ps2 are of the shelfs....
BTW I would really love to have this because I never played Ico, Shadow of Colossus and God of war 1 and 2.
I know I shouldn't have sold my ps2 that I got for free.....

The PS3 is the first Playstation investment I have made so it is welcome news to hear this no matter how they go about doing it. I would love to play Shadow of the Colossus and the God of War games and also the ever, growing in popularity, Giant Bomb cult classic, Persona 4.
Having said that though... this thread should really not exist because I should have played them by now. *sigh* better late then never I guess...

Guess what guys. I have a Playstation 2 emulator too. It's called a Playstation 2. I put it on my desk next to my Playstation 3. It's amazing because I can play Playstation 3 games and Playstation 2 games. Who would have thought?
What an amazing solution to backwards compatability. I hear you can buy one for like $30 off eBay.

This is amazing news for someone like me. I only got back into console gaming at the end of last gen and I had gotten an xbox for modding reasons ;P I missed the entire PS1 generation as well because I was hooked to Everquest and that was the only thing that existed. With this being said, once I get a PS3 if I had backwards compatibility for both PS2 and PS1..... oh god. My game queue is huge lol. Luckily I have a 15 month old son so I will try to experience the past gems with him once he is able to play games :)

I borrowed my girlfriend's dad's PS2 just for Persona 3 and 4, now I have it I might catch up on all the ps2 games I missed because I was in love with the dreamcast/xbox. Sucks I couldn't just play it on my PS3 but if anyone is really dying to play a PS2 game (I know I want the new Silent Hill) the PS2 is cheap enough.
I wasn't that fussed about the 360's BC. There's something nice about getting an old console to play old games. More authentic.

@Sick_J0ke: You can buy an adapter for like $20, one end is a memory card slot, and the other goes into the USB mini-b that you have to charge controllers with. You only really need to use it once so I chucked mine once i'd got all my old PS1 and PS2 cards on to the PS3. Pretty good though.
Also, while I have a console that is capable of BC, I still really like the idea of PS2 games being released on PSN, that'd be great.
