Should Sony add more PS2 Games to PSN?

Do you think Sony should listen to the fans and start adding more ps2 games to psn? I don't have a ps2, and I have a ps3 slim.:cry:

YES. But the biggest games I want on there (whichare for the PSone) is spiderman and spiderman 2 enter electro. I'm still waiting for that game.

no, since they can obviously get ps2 games to play on the ps3 they should release a firmware update allowing ps2 games to be played instead of remilking their loyal customers who've already paid for their ps2 games once.

It would be nice ifSony did that but so far they don't seen to be interested in doing so.

No, just bring PS2 BC back because I know they're not going HD remake certain and all PS2 gems.

I don't really see a need for more PS2 games on PSN, especially since PS2's are so cheap.

Emulation comes from a piece of hardware (a chip), not firmware, which is no longer installed in the PS3 to cut production cost. I'm not an expert, but I don't think it's a matter of firmware... correct me if I'm wrong out there, anyone, please. But I believe that's what's at play here, and why it's not an easy change. I would genuinely LOVE som BC, as i have lots and lots of PS2 games which I worship and will never stop playing, like "Sky Odyssey". Greatest flying game for a Sony system EVER, and why I will always have a functional PS2 in the house.

im quite positive they can get the games running via software emulation (which they used in later 1st gen models, i believe in europe)
and to top that off, i have trouble believing that they can get the ps2 game running in hd and sell it over the psn (without requiring your ps3 to support BC) but they can't do anything to let you play the ps2 games you already have in SD. sonys milking their customers, end of story.

Not bothered about PS2 games anymore, I've moved on from wanting to play them again.

Are there already Ps2 games on there?! I only saw the Ps1 games!

I'm fairly certain that the first ps3 with bc had cpu and gpu of a ps2. They later did away with the gpu in the later models having it done it software. I'm not sure that the newer slim models could even do it. one thing for them to emulate ps1 games but ps2? you need a pretty high end PC to emulate ps2 and it's still not 100% then.

What they did with The God of War Collect and Prince of Persian PSN versions was simply take the existing PS2 game and rewrote the code to make it native PS3, which is why you can put the disc right in the PS3 (or download the PSN version) and it runs natively on the system. This isn't the same as software emulation, which would require the PS3 to software emulate all the PS2 hardware. There's a huge difference there and it would take way too much time and resources for Sony to make software emulation fully compatible with every game, similar with why Microsoft stopped doing BC support for Xbox 1 games on the 360, after a certain point, it's just not worth it. And as many people have said, PS2's are dirt cheap.

Hopefully it'll happen, if anything selling each for $14.95 each wouldn't be too steep of an asking price.

add tenchu 2...

resident evil 2 and 3

thats i i gues all titles i need from ps1

Resident Evil 1,2,3 have been on the PSN for a while now.

Seeing as I'm one of those weird people who enjoys owning a physical copy of a game I'd rather Sony pull more of the that collection nonsense(like with GoW and ICO collection thing).:P

Alot of the older PS2 games I sold way back when are ****ing impossible to find now anyway.:x
