as soon as ps2 stops selling, as if my majic sony wil issue a ps2 patch for ps3`s.

personally when i got my ps3 i got hold of ff12 and shadow of collosus, after completing them i have never bought any ps2 game and never will, so im not interested in backwards compatability

 

The 60 GB in the US had both the PS2's CPU and GPU. The 60 GB in the UK (and the rest of Europe) had the PS2's GPU, but not CPU. The 40 GB or $399 BC doesn't have any PS2 hardware. Emulation is possible, but it would require large development costs and not all games would work, so I am not sure if I should count on it.

 

a magic patch that makes all ps2 games work at once with software emulation is really unlikely. personally i would think its more likely that they add software emulation that is optimized and tested with a few games and sell the games that its working with on psn.

Over time they could increase compatibility and at same time get more or less the whole catalogue of ps2 titles on psn.
