When demand of PS2 hardware and software falls enough, Sony will do what Microsoft did by releasing select PS2 titles via download.

I've been saying this for a long time now. I expect this to happen in 1-2 year

The question is... through BC compatability for all... or just by reworking individual games.

Well, the 80 gig already eschews the Emotion Engine and only keeps the Graphics Synthesizer, so all they would need is to emulate the graphics synthesizer since they've been able to Emulate the Emotion Engine using the Cell/RSX right? 

I mean, I know the compatibility number would be down, but they would just need to get the Graphics Synthesizer emulated, then on a game by game basis, tweak them.  It'd probably be a firmware update that does that (maybe adds an icon to XMB and runs the PS2 emulation program?), and then downloadable titles.  Obviously the DL titles would also work if you had the disk, and then there would be titles supported by the GS emulation.
