[wraggster]

A few weeks ago Sony acknowledged its plan to get PS2 games running on the PlayStation 4 (http://www.engadget.com/2015/11/20/sonys-adding-playstation-2-backwards-compatibility-to-the-ps4/) and today it announced (http://blog.us.playstation.com/2015/12/04/fan-favorite-ps2-games-launching-on-ps4-tomorrow/) which ones are first. According to exec Shuhei Yoshida, the company will celebrate its "PS2 heritage" by launching eight games for purchase in North America and Europe tomorrow: Dark Cloud, Grand Theft Auto III, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Rogue Galaxy, The Mark of Kri, Twisted Metal: Black, and War of the Monsters. It's similar to the backwards compatibility that the Xbox One just added for Xbox 360 games (http://www.engadget.com/2015/11/11/xbox-one-update-windows-10-back-compat/), but there is one big difference: like on PlayStation Now (http://www.engadget.com/tag/playstationnow/), you'll need to pay for these games again. Most of them will cost $15 in the US while a few cost $10, but you can see the prices (and
