PS2 Classics to hit the PlayStation Store?

Original PlayStation games are already hit on the PlayStation Store, and rumors about PlayStation 2 titles hitting the service have been abound for quiet a while now. Well, PlayStation senior VP Peter Dille, in an interview with IGN tells us what he thinks about the possibility.

“From our side, we’re going through our own studio organization and trying to make sure all these old games are out there so that we can lead by example, but we’re also communicating with all the third-parties about the success of the Final Fantasy games, and other PS1 and PS2 classics,” Dille tells IGN. “By all means, I think people can look for more of that because once the third-parties see how this works, it’s just found money. There’s not a whole lot of work that has to go into it and once we can get it up on the network, it finds an audience pretty quickly.”

He also remarked that they PlayStation folks are “working really hard on” binging original and PS2 games to the service. Sounds almost like a confirmation to me.

Considering the remarkable backwards compatibility on the PS3 for PS2 games…wait, there isn’t any?

Seems like a viable way of bringing in some cash eh? I’ll be content with some Shadow of the Colossus and ICO in HD please. Thanks.
