Playstation 3 Hardware \ PS2 Emulation

We all know that the PS3 will lost its PS2 hardware for the PAL, launch to make room for PS2 emulation, which cuts costs for Sony. Now, it can't all be bad, right?

What if PS2 games could be offered on the Playstation store to be emulated on the PS3? Of course, they'd have to be at a reasonable price. Maybe... $15 for Platinum games and $20 for normal games? This way, we can get PS2 games we missed out on, Sony can make lots of profit, and a price cut should come sooner.

You can fit at least 15. Make it like the virtual console in that you can delete games and redownload them if you want to play them. But of course, Australia would probably need true unlimited broadband or at least have major ISPs offer download servers so that we don't all get capped within a few days. xD

Its a Good idea, but a long way off if it was to happen. Game shops would lose out EBgames still sell PS2 games for $90-100 to make there profit.

Blu-Ray burners are EXPENSIVE!

I guess they'd have to introduce this after the PS2 dies, or maybe just sell old classics which aren't in production anymore.

If the PS3 had a Blu-Ray burner, expect it to be about $2000.

Blu-ray burner's are about $1200.
Sony will never let that happen because of infringement laws.
