Sony Announces New PS2 Bundle

[llafnwod]

Come on Sony let it die. Put PS2 games on the PSN Store and I will be happy.

or here's an idea: make ps2 games downloadable on the psn!

Not possible, PS3 lacks PS2 backwards compatibility.

if people can make portable dreamcasts, then they can make it so

Not unless they rebuild and recode the PS3.

The firmware exists. A couple of older PS3 models did have backwards compatibility.

Suppose but even then the PS2 games that are backwards compatible have numerous new bugs from it so the code isn't well done enough.

My friend owns one of these models. Neither of us have ever had a problem with the upwards of a dozen games we've played under backwards compatibility, including FFVII, a PS1 game. There are certainly known kinks, but the feature was not removed from newer models because it was buggy.

So this is what it looks like when you try to sell a console 5 years past its prime.
Kind of reminds me of the early 90s and when they made the NES that copied the SNES design scheme.
