Sony Charging For PS2 Emulation On PS4 Makes Sense – Developer
GamingBolt spoke to Norwind Interactive’s Brandyn Engbrecht, who is currently working on the sandbox title Astraea for the PS4, about his take on PS2 emulation and whether it would be a success even with Sony charging money for digital PS2 games.
He stated that, “I am thrilled that the PS4 will be able to emulate PS2 games! I believe that the more games on a platform, the better. I’m sure Sony had to pay it’s developers to make the emulation software work – so charging money only makes sense. I hope it’s a success!”
Though comparisons could be made to the Xbox 360 emulator on Xbox One, it’s hard to really draw parallels since the former is one generation behind while the PS2 is two generations behind. Also, Microsoft is offering the opportunity for old Xbox 360 games to work on the Xbox One though it needs to build in support for said games with the help of developers.

As long as they dont go overboard with their prices then it should be cool to see old games come to life

DeluxeHazard If Sony chooses to charge for old PS2 games, they should be cheap like $1. Spending $60 on a game these days is already outrageous enough.
They should definitely be cheap, but $1 is too low imo. I'd be happy if they charge $5-10 for most games
