The title is very misleading.
It's basically saying that PS2 Classic are coming to the JP store (25 July) with new ps2 titles being added every month.
As for the Vita, firmware 1.80 is going to add PS1 support.

I'll make a statement today:
When the PS Vita is EVER HACKED and capable of PS2 Games on the GO:
I'll buy one.
Was the same with PSP and PS1 Games, I got one

Playing champions of norath and Dark alliance Baulders gate on the go would actually make me buy a Vita o.o But would emulation of a ps2 on vita be possible? Im sure theres somthing about it in the vita homebrew section. Of course we wouldnt know until it was hacked either way.
On topic, if they do make ps2 games available only through psn, it would take up tons of memory wouldnt it? Ps2 isos are about 1-2 gigs right?

I do, BECAUSE the psvita has much different hardware than the psp has. Different hardware has different instruction sets and also very specific functions, unless sony is going to make a HAL for the psvita only, there is a damn lot of work to do to make every single one of those games work. In fact you actually have to port all games one by one if you do not make a HAL at all, that's also why directx and other such HAL's exist: easy coding between various hardware.
And that's not even considering the different mobo's and cpu's

Same here! PS2 on the go, DQ VIIII'll make a statement today:

considering it is possiable to unlock ps2 gameplay on non compatable systems on debug mode or w/e its called on 3.55 cfw i hope sony allows stuff like codebreaker,Gameshark ect for psx and ps2 games (disc needed of course)
So no disk support and only psn? A tad dissapointing.
EDIT: btw thanks for the translation densetsu!

I honestly thought on my HDTV the ps2 games played from my phat ps3 were terrible picture wise or will they upscale or fix it at least. I'm guessing not so keeping your older PS2 is a better idea or buying one since a lot of the games on the store are overpriced.
Is it plausible that this could lead to turning PS2 isos into proper eboots similar to PSX isos on the PSP?
cant look as bad as a ps2 on a hdtv even with component hook ups
I played ps1 games on my ps3 with 1080p upscaling and didnt find any problems with it

As of January 15th though, Sony stopped shipping PS2 to NA. I can safely assume a similar situation for other regions?
PS2 hasn't be available new, here in the UK for years. Used are easy enough to get, but no major shops sell new ones. Not sure if Sony stopped shipping them, or if they just were not selling. Not even sure if we got the 9000 series slim. Some say the 90003 (UK model) was available, but I've never seen one.
Why would you want a *new* PS2 when the old, pre-owned Classic versions have so much more to offer - the Network Adapter alone is worth the purchase, plus they're really affordable. Every "pawn shop" I've ever been to in the UK has a few of those machines just laying on the shelves gathering dust - give'em some love. There's no reason to be obsessed about "new" consoles unless you sincerely want to support the manufacturer.
In some regions it sells well. 2011 alone they sold 1.4 million and 2012 they already sold 450k.
Edit: They sold 500k+ ps2 currently and as said in a article the sales almost match the Vita.
