So, I predict the following happening in this order:-
1: Firmware 3.0 announced/released with PS2 backwards compatibility which may/may not PS3 slim specific along with some rare classic PS2 download service.

Do you think games like Ico, Shadow of colossis and Okami would become available as download?
Btw, does the PSN have any PS2 games for download already, like you see some old Xbox games for download on Xbox Live?

No, the PSN doesn't have any PS2 downloadable games, it was rumoured to be comming at one point but it ended up being false.
I reckon Sony would be re-releasing allot of their own classic PS2 games like ICO, and I'm sure konami would release zone of enders as well...the PS2 has allot of great games which are hard to find, and I know there is a market for it, just looking at places like Ebay shows there is, it's just a matter of Sony refining the tech to make it possible, and I think there close if that emotion engine patent is anything to go buy. that patent was made public recently but the EE has already been emulated on certain early 80GB PS3 since they fist hit retail, not only that but the details of what the patent tech is can also be applied to the graphic synthesizer, PS2 GPU, so it's a high possibility that the rumour just may have some foundation afterall.

Why don't they implement that already? I could picture myself getting a $299 PS3 with BC and purchasing download versions of Ico, Shadow of colossis and Okami (since they're hard to find in stores, even as used), but I ain't gonna wait for those games forever - they're getting (and feeling) older for every year that passes by.

From what I can see they first want to dry out the retail chains as well as their current stock, which is why that awesome bundle was just announced...I suppose they want to minimise loss so that they put them selvs in a situation where they can finally make money.
Also, I don't see the PS3 slim launching at $299, I reckon it will launch at $399, and the price cut will happen next year to coincide with the launch of God of war, that's how I reckon it'll go down...there's room for errors of course.
