Indeed It think it will be more something like virtual console than actually bothering being backwards compatible as reselling games you already own is some easy profit.

Maybe is for the PS4 ? Probably planning to do the same "catch" as they did when they launched PS3 NAND / BC.

And little by little they removed every feature we paid for.

SeeYa!

yeah

Yeah, they're probably just doing this for an upcoming PS2 PSN library. If so, I hope there will be one for PS Vita. Playing PS2 games on a handheld would be sweet especially I have a lot of backlog RPGs to play on the PS2. LOL!

They do everything to keep homebrew off their consoles, but when it suits them, they want an emulation specialist. Go figure. Bunch of ****ing hypocrits.

One cannot look at this and think anything other than a prospective revenue generator.

The principal reason they let PS2 compatibility die is that you can't resell the custy a game if it already plays on the system they have.

How many times do I need to BUY Final Fantasy 7 before the money hungry people just let me play the damn thing on whatever system I want?

We've moved beyond squeezing blood from a stone here. Now were on to squeezing previously squeezed stones in hopes of another few drops.
