He's been right on so many other things, but I can't help but feel like my comments before ride on this -- or rather the byproduct of it.
[edit] And to my mind, this isn't any kind of real confirmation of anything beyond the idea that anything with a CELL (like, maybe a TV) could both decode HD video like a fat guy attacking a 12-stack of pancakes and play "old-school" PS2 games not so small as to make the idea of downloading them to a tee vee on a local network (like, say, a replacement for those hotel TVs) a possibility.
Still not seeing it as confirmation of what I've heard, but I do see it as a further continuation of the best console/library ever made. If you think once the CELL is cheap enough there won't also be PS2 in one, you are as batshit as you likely thing I am sir/madam.
This is confirmation of a PSN PS2 games service in one form or another.

Nobody's real sure exactly what he's rambling about, but it a few things are obvious (ps2 games on PSN, possible ps2 streaming to Bravias). He does kinda hint at the thing we all want in taht and subsequent posts:

Software. It was always software. I need to check my dates, but I think it was before BC was removed entirely. Regardless, it was software from the start. And most recently lined up with "a slim PS3." So.. fingers crossed...
Here's the crazy Gaf thread on all of this:
