    via Joystiq:

    As if you don't have enough games to worry about this torrential fall, Sony is adding to the downpour with its "Only on PlayStation Network" campaign. Every Tuesday this month, we'll not only be getting exclusives but a selection of "rare classic games" including God Hand,GrimGrimoire, Maximo, Odin Sphere and Ring of Red, all coming tomorrow. (We guess that since your PS3 doen't play PS2 games any more, those really are only on PSN.)
    Industry Gamers reports PlayStation Plus members get every title at 20 percent off during launch week and those that spend more than $60 in October on the service will get a $10 credit for November. Here's the lineup so you can plan your buying accordingly:
    • October 4 - Eufloria and Rochard
    • October 11 - Sideway: New York
    • October 13 - Sodium Collection
    • October 18 - Okabu and RocketBirds
    • October 25 - inFAMOUS: Festival of Blood and PixelJunkSidescroller

    Nice to see they're still supporting PSN and making that PSN+ subscription worth it, but what the fuck at the casual mention of PS2 games coming to PSN. Is this opening the flood gates for PS2 games appearing on the service? Are they ports or straight up emulations?

    Sony's really getting their hands on some catchy marketing. "Only on Playstation Network" just rolls right off the tongue.

    Ohh, PS2 games on the PSN......I'm ok with buying some PS2 classics and finally putting my PS2 to rest. Maximo is severely unappreciated.

    i wonder how quick Persona, Zone of the Enders will show up.

    We'll never see FFX or ZOE because I'm pretty sure they're getting HD remakes/remasters. Would love P3 and P4 to show up though.

    Wait, do you have to be a PS+ member for this? Is there a discount for PS+ members?

    There's a 20% off discount for PS+ members for all these games and if you spend $60 you get $10 back.

    All 3 games I missed out on back on the PS2 and always wanted to try. AWESOME.
