Console manufacturer Sony is hoping to bring the entire PlayStation 2 back-catalogue to the PlayStation Network, one website has claimed.
The move would give users the opportunity to download any game they wanted through the digital shop, rather like music lovers can with iTunes.
Gaming website MCVUK.com has obtained the information through a leaked document, which it says will add credibility to the many cynics who questioned Sony when they decided to remove PS2 backwards compatibility from its latest console.
This move meant that gamers could not use old PS2 disks in the PS3.
MCV says that the move to allow back catalogue downloads would prove unpopular with the retail sector as it would have a negative effect on PS2 console and game sales.
Games that could be made available through the network would include classics like Final Fantasy X, Metal Gear Solid 3, God of War II and Grand Theft Auto San Andreas, which all made Ign.com’s top five PS2 games of all time.
