We’ve just spoken to Sony and can confirm that European PS3 owners can also look forward to PS2 games coming to their console – exciting news for anyone doubting the validity of our earlier post this morning.
“The Only On PlayStation Network programme is for the SCEA region only,” said a SCEE spokesperson to TheSixthAxis.
“However, we will be bringing the majority of the content to the SCEE audience, including Classic PS2 titles.” Â Note the capital letter, which might suggest that’s the official line.
It sounds like it doesn’t end there, either.
“We have numerous exciting offers that we will be introducing to PSN users throughout our region in the lead up to Christmas and look forward to sharing these with you.”
Exciting stuff, if Sony can get the right PS2 titles out there for us…

Excuse me while i’ll just pop out for some fresh air.
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCKKKKK YEEEEEEEEEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! *gets arrested* :p
I am glad that SCEE decided not to be their usual self instead of “forgetting about”. Although judging from the lack of true PS1 classics, i bet that most of the PS2 “classics” will be shovelware. :-/ Prove me wrong SCEE.
I shall get GTA3-SA, The PS2 FFs(except that POS 10-2), Prince of Persia triolgy(as the HD remake is an insult to the original) and a load of classic PS2 games that i missed out on. :D (i’m going to need a lot of cash to get a lot of PSN cards)

Not that I care too much about this decision but I would like to see Hardware: Online Arena brought back online. Fond memories.

So it finally happens. I’m sure SCEE will try their best to pick the worst games from SCEA’s lineup. No, I’m joking, I know they’re doing all they can to get us the best.
I’m tempted to say I’d like the Jak games on PSN but I’d rather have a full HD collection, trophies and all, for that classic series.
