"I'm not sure where the image came from," said Sony's Patrick Seybold, when questioned by GamePro on visible allegations that PS2 games would be coming to the PlayStation Store. "At this point, we haven't made any announcements, and there are no plans for PS2 downloadable titles on PS3."

Earlier today, an unverified user of the N4G Forums posted the shown photo, claiming to have received the image directly from Sony Europe by way of an insider contact.

According to the anonymous source, Sony will unveil PS2 game downloads while attending E3 next month, this in response to Microsoft's Xbox Originals which debuted on Xbox 360 last year. Despite Sony's denial, said expansion to include PS2 games will happen later this summer, the forum poster said.

Or another possibiltiy: "We copied MS with our new dashboard, now trophies. Do we really want to copy them again by adding downloadable games of our previous systems?...the public surely would see this as a trend of copying."
