Speaking in a recent interview, Sony Computer Entertainment America marketing manager John Koller dropped word that the company is “interested” in providing downloadable PS2 titles on PS3.

We’re still sorting through that. We’re absolutely interested, but there are some technical hurdles there that we have to overcome first. But this is something that we’re absolutely interested in. You make good points, there are a lot of people who would be interested in playing the strongest PS2 games on their PS3.

This is certainly good news for all owners of a BC-less PS3 out there, such as myself. Although such interest does not exactly come as a surprise, considering that sources have been saying similar things in the past. Sounds like the prospect of PS2 titles on the PlayStation Store is becoming more of a when than if.
