Peter Dille: The PlayStation 3 is backwards compatible from day one, with PlayStation or PlayStation 2 games. But over time, we'll be adding to the online experience by making great PlayStation games available via the PlayStation Network. You can then play them on your PSP, which we talked about, which is a really cool feature. But in addition, in the future you'll be able to play these on your PlayStation 3 as well. So I think it's a great advantage for us leveraging that great library of games that people, many of whom grew up with and giving them a taste of those again on PlayStation 3.
GS: What's the release schedule like for old PS2 and original PlayStation games to be rolled out on the PlayStation Network Platform?
PD: We want to have a lineup of games available day one so that we can give people a taste. But we also know that the beauty of the online environment is that you can add to it as you go. Whatever we have on day one, we're focused on making that a very compelling experience.
GS: So, you're talking about the Sony catalog and bringing a bunch of old games online. Does this also present the opportunity for releasing games that became cult favorites but never came out in the US?
PD: The beautiful thing about the PlayStation Network is that we have no limitation on shelf space. [...] So that's something that we're very excited about, and again leveraging that back catalog, which is something that our competitors just can't do.[/b]
