Rumor: Downloadable PS2 Games Hitting PSN This Summer?

Posted by x3sphere at June 30, 2008, 11:19 am


This is clearly an unsubstantiated rumor, so take it with a fine grain of salt. According to a poster on a gaming forum, who claims to have a friend in the know at Sony London, downloadable PS2 titles are coming to the PlayStation 3 this summer.

Normally, we’d brush off rumors like this one, but this same poster also provided an off-screen capture of the PS2 download store in action, as shown above. Needless to say, it looks very legit. Apparently, Sony will formally announce the store during this year’s E3, with a launch following in summer.

Plus, this isn’t the first time we’ve caught wind of rumblings regarding downloadable PS2 games. This rumor may be unsubstantiated, but it’s far from unlikely.

Sony could be on to something.


Wonder if they'll let us store it on a external USB drive.. This may have some potential...

How many PS3 or PSX games can you store on an external USB drive in the PS3 now? That won't be happening...
