  Well it makes decent business sense I suppose. Get paid again for games that are all but said and gone. I'm still pretty leary of downloads myself.....I still prefer the hardcopy.

  It's about time.
  
  Xbox games have been available to download for yonks.
  
  That said, Sony need to get games like Resident Evil and Final Fantasy VII on the PSN first.

  Microsoft and Nintendo have been doing this for years, it is about time Sony cashed in on this market.
  
  Why waste money on R&D?

  X-Box 360 only had it implemented relatively recently....Wii has been doing it longer than MS has, at least, as far as the 360 and Wii are concerned...
  
  But yeah....In the case of the 360 with X-box original games, the games take up a good percentage of a 20GB model HDD (though not so much on the 120GB version)....
  
  I bet Sony will start with games that sold really well and are older....Like FFX, for example....
  
  They'd want to avoid games that take up a lot of space, since they're currently limited to a 80GB (though that should change to 120GB eventually)...
  
  I doubt they'll allow game sharing with this service >_>

    The Wii doesn't have Gamecube games for download.
    
    Anyway, I'd probably get a bigger hard drive if this was made available. Might be a bit expensive but it would be totally worth it. The PS2 is one of the greatest consoles to date and I think this might be why Sony have taken BC out of new models. So people have to download games again.

  This is speculation so far i see no confirmation, but it does sound great though. What about 60GB users, can we download these games as well, i mean im pretty sure i haven't play all PS2 games, this would be nice for everyone.
  
  Also what about paying for games you already bought? I mean lets say someone has GTA SA does that mean they have to pay for it again. I don't know it sounds like a rip-off to me.

  I could see this being very good for games like Final Fantasy weren't they still two disc's on the PS2, i mean making those run seamlessly like they should have been on the PS3 would be awesome.

    No, all PS2 Final Fantasy titles are 1 disc not two. PSOne Final Fantasy titles were on multiple discs. I have all the Final Fantasy games on PS2 all were on 1 disc.

  This would be killer and since they'd be using software emulation they could even utilize the great power of the CELL and new GPU to hopefully get them to run natively at 1080p and force 16xAF to make the textures look nicer and AA if it were necessary.

  Metal Gear Solid 3 please, that seems to freeze on my PS3 occasionally. Anyway, i'm sure i've read that somewhere, that this would be in the pipeline.

  Nice. There are some games on the PS2 that I can never find in stores for some reason. Hopefully they will put some of those games up for download! =D
