That's what you said when you removed backwards compatability.

Hopefully the PS Vita gets support for these, alongside PSone classics soon.

Need a sequel for that.

I dunno, obvious price gouging for our € loving friends, either that or a missing decimal point. Will be picking up a few games although a lot of those PS3 games seem a bit shovelware-ish.

@JoeGBallad I know what you mean - the choice of games is... interesting, to say the least. I wonder whether the accuracy of the emulator is holding them back in terms of which games they can get working on it, and therefore which games they can actually release?
(Or perhaps all the true classics are being held back for full HD remakes? And if so, maybe that's not a bad thing?)

Still, Far Cry 2 for free is pretty sweet.

I mean, I don't WANT any, but that's not the point. It's a fine start. More importantly though, Rock Band DLC and Mass Effect 3.

£7.99 for a game that has not been updated in any way is always going to be overpriced. These should be sold at £5.99 max.

To me it seems more like they've just released every PS2 game they've managed to get clearance for so far.
Godhand I must buy however, if only based on the brilliant "review" offered up by VideoGaiden. The Maximo games and SSX sound tempting too.
Comment below viewing threshold Show
Will definitely check out the ME3 demo and possibly pick up SSX On Tour. (or was that the rubbish one?)

Also, another thumbs up for Kim Possible. Its a slightly easy, but really really solid platformer. Well worth a few quid.

The Vita is doing very little to woo me from a content perspective at the moment (few new consoles do) - the promise of opening up the PSOne and PS2 back catalogues is something that would turn me from passively interested to seriously considering.
Comment below viewing threshold Show
Also... anyone know if these are fullscreen 60hz versions of the games? Or will some still be horrible bordered 50hz versions of the games? I know a lot of later PS2 games had built in support for both formats (and widescreen!) but many earlier games didn't...
Comment below viewing threshold Show
Rumours at the time (and may even have been confirmed) was that hardware BC was removed as they could actually give away a PS2 with every PS3 and save money. Software BC was slowly dropped because it was costing too much to make the PS3 compatible with more games (via firmware update). Neither are good news if you're a PS2 fan, so still bad bad Sony.
As to why they're releasing so many PS2 titles on the store, again only rumours, but they may or may not be playable on Vita at some stage... for about 2 months before they decide it's too expensive and stop doing it

But good to see SOME titles at least

We should start a petition to get Gitaroo man on PS3. That game is so classic, I still play Gitarooman lives on my PSP. ^_^

it seems they realized at SCE that "noone wants to play PS2 games on a PS3" so they changed it to "everyone wants to pay for PS2 games on a PS3"

Anyone who wants a hard-as-nails ball-ache of game should get Maximo. I don't think I ever even got past the second level.

Now I really wish would Sony would release the HD Shadow of the Colossus and ICO as separate downloads, at something like $15 or $20 a pop. $40 is *just* enough to give pause for a couple of games I already own.

Newer PS3s not playing PS2 games does suck, but the Wii U isn't going to play Gamecube discs - what's the betting they come available to download?
Comment below viewing threshold Show
Do the same as what? Large update?
Comment below viewing threshold Show
A demo for God Hand would have totally the opposite effect, as your first encounter with the game is a baffling ordeal. If you enjoyed Dark Souls because it was brutally difficult, you'll probably get along famously with God Hand.

I just hope the "none gaming" Sony executive who proclaimed "who wants to play PS2 games on a PS3?" while attempting to justify not licencing the PS2 emulation software in order to save a few quid, is back working a Burger King.
I actually knew this chap a few years ago while Soy were AGAIN reshuffling even more layers of pointless management levels, and he really was a grade 'A' prick.
But thank the Gaming Gods, and common sense he's no longer with us.
Edit: He's not dead or anything...just gone.

if you want ps2 games go pick up them up from cash converters/generator for next to nothing.
do not fall for this over priced crap

@TheBusterMan - I remember playing House of the Dead 3 in the arcades and it was good knockabout fun. I'm pretty sure it's just an on rails shooter so should be compatible with the Sharpshooter but without the movement part, and hopefully with the crappy knock-off gun accessory I bought the other day.
Comment below viewing threshold Show
Also, the Maximo games are ace! I suggest people that don't know about them to look them up. Spiritual successors to Ghost'N Goblins from Capcom themselves.
FC2 for free.
A really nice update this one ;-]

Would love a demo for THOTD III, as I already have it on Wii, and can't get enough of THOTD Extended Cut on PS3!

You can buy Ico and Sotc seperately here in Sweden as well. At least i think so... Hmm.. I have to get back to you about that..

Seriously, guys, this game is AWESOME. One of the best games I played on my PS2, and almost criminally overlooked! Wow, you may mock Sony al you want for all the Hannah Montana's, but that really is a classic.. for me.

So does that mean it's free?

That being said a backwards compatibility would have been very descent.
I'd like to be able to play my old games if I desire and I don't want to pay for them again but that's a problem which afflicts all consoles.

I swear to God, I'm sick of you both.
So I'm banning you both. I know for a fact I've sent you both links to the site guidelines before, and you each appear to have not read them, or just read the bits that you think apply to you.
I haven't decided how long these bans will last yet, but let's assume they're 48 hours, as a starting point.

They're PSP not PS3.
Might want to check the blog and read the heading that says PSP POWER SALE before posting them all under "PS3 Special Offers". I wouldn't mind paying 3.99 for Tron on PS3.

It would be better if Eurogamer could ban by IP address rather than Username when/if they permaban. That way trolls like spacedelete cannot just make up another account (as he has apparently done in the past).
