this has been known since 07 when Eu ps3 played disk ps2 games w/o HW emulation

why is in not in the newer models my quess so sony can get easy $$ on psn from ps2 classics much like theyve done from ps home

If they want easy money they should just sell the emulator. I'd pay $60 for it.

People who don't own retail discs will still buy the PS2 Classics on PSN. While many of us with discs would gladly buy an emulator.


Exactly, it's the one reason I still have a PS2 in the house.

Don't want a big piracy deabte though, we all sit on one side of the fence or the other with this stuff.

I genuinely think this technologicially amazing though, the PS3 is a dog to program for in terms of emulation, I do follow the hacking scene with the PS3 and the emulators that have been turned out so far and run at a decent speed stop at the NeoGeo. The PS2 is possibly harder to emulate than the Xbox 360 due to it's architecture too.

Business is business and we all know the score as far as money grabbing goes, same goes for Microsoft and Nintendo so I'm not going to compare on that level, in this case though, maybe nobody would use it. But a full PS2 emulation would surely give Sony a boost, much more than the PS2 Classic sales would be worth.

...Bit late now though I spose with the PS4 on the way but hey ho :)
