downloadable PS2 games

[ToonyLoons]

If they would offer PS2 downloads, I think all the 40gb owners would be left out since the system does not play PS2 software. They would have to add the software emulation though a firmware update. And it does not seem that they want to do that, because they would have done it already.

I would be all for more PS1 and PS2 games availible for download. Turthfully I would probably not download them, but I would like the option there and I feel that the store has been lacking in content although it is getting better as of late.

or they could make the PS2 downloads compatable with 40GB systems thorugh very basic porting.

I would think they would be too lazy in developement to port a PS2 game to PS3 for the simple fact of making it available for download. Of course I know nothing of the process, but I think the PS1 games available for download are for the most part just the game code and the systems treat it almost the same as the disc.

There is also not a rush to make PS2 games downloadable because Sony is still marketing and selling the PS2. The PS2 is still in it's 10 year life cycle. Maybe toward the bitter end of the life cycle or after it is over, we will see PS2 downloads.

remember with data compression now much better than it was when the ps2 first launched the games could be smaller than the original ps2 iso's.

ps2 downloads will happen but its prob about a year or so away, i just want the port of ps1 sukoden to come along
