If they're adding trophies etc. even via emulation, it does mean that changes to the original game code might be needed to trigger these. If that was the case, the original PS2 discs would be no good because the code would be different.

If you already have the discs, you surely already have a PS2 to play the original games from? In which case no loss. If you don't, you are now getting access to another platform's software from the same box you already own for a few quid.

Now that I own a PS4, I have five consoles that I regularly play. It's an inconvience to constantly switch inputs on my TV, and a lot a space is taken up by these consoles. Also, it would be nice to have a new console with its level of availability and warranty be able to play my old games, so I won't feel like I have to buy an overpriced PS2 with no manufacter's warranty should my current one ever fail. It's quite old, so that's a real concern.

For me, the future-proofing for the older games I own and love is most important to me. I'd hate to find myself in a position where I couldn't easily access a way to play those games.
