SourcePlayStation 2 backwards compatibility could be returning to the PlayStation 3, according to what appears to be an internal document accidentally leaked by Sega of America, one that hints at downloadable previous gen games available on a case-by-case basis.
That document, uncovered by French gaming web site Objectif-Sega, notes that "SCEA wants to sell all PS2 titles on PSN," which may indicate a strategy similar to the one Sony has taken with original PlayStation games, released as "PSone Classics."...
The notes mention two titles, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and an unspecified Sonic the Hedgehog game—there are seven Sonic-starring games for the PS2—as examples of candidates for release.
The same document also mentions what appears to be downloadable Dreamcast titles for the PlayStation Network. Those titles don't appear to be exclusive to the PlayStation 3, however, as the rumored meeting notes read "If we provide a list of DC titles SCEA will let us know which ones they're interested in having exclusively."
This is actually unconfirmed by Sony and Sega.
But the Ps2 downloads really makes sense, at least to them, I expect a new firmware with bc support. 4.0 anyone.
Now about dreamcast games....
I think, there are two options of doing it, emulating and porting.
Now which would you think they would use?
Would like to hear Cid's opinion on this.
So what's the reason NOT to get the ps3 slim now? :lol:
Another bit of the info.
There will be an "Import Store", by speculation it would mean some DC titles that never made it to the west.
