PS2 games are coming to PSN

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2011-10-03-sony-announces-psn-exclusives-campaign

God Hand, GrimGrimoire, Maximo: Ghosts to Glory, Odin Sphere, Ring of Red.

The promotion is only for America, but the EU should get the "majority" of the content, according to Sony. Which I assume means we get the games but none of the discounts or offers. Which would explain why Rochard had no Plus discount for the EU.

Was just about to post this:

This will inevitably be a load of crap for us EU gamers as usual, that said there's probably a couple of classics i wouldn't mind, but TBH unless they are free with PSN+ or something i doubt i really give a crap.

This is cool. Never got to play God Hand but I've been wanting to. Hopefully PS+ gives a juicy discount.

Looking forward to God Hand, GrimGrimoire and Odin Sphere. Shame $10 = £10, according to Sony.

If the PS3 can emulate PS2 games now, I'd rather they just stick the emulation software on the store for a reasonable price. Even then I'd be unlikely to buy it though.

I just wish they'd release the backwards compability for free and sell PS2 games on the store.

I completely agree

I've given up on that and just started emulating all my old PS2 games, honestly aside from SotC I haven't had problems with any of them and they all run as well and look as good, often better, than the originals.

I'm looking forward to seeing God Hand's pricing as well. That's a game I've always wanted to play.

I prefer physical copies so i'll continue with my business buying them for $10 or less on amazon compared to the overpriced PSN versions. What WOULD be cool is an firmware update that allows you to play PS2 disc and as these classics come out there will an update to add trophies to even your disc versions

Dude, these are 10 dollars too. Like, God Hand, Odin Sphere and Grim Grimoire aren't even easy games to find really, so they're being sold at pretty cheap.

Odin Sphere can probably go for $40 or something.
