Sony has denied that it plans to offer PlayStation 2 titles as digital titles via the PlayStation Store.

As we reported yesterday, a forum post on N4G allegedly quoted a Sony London insider saying that the store would get PS2 games this summer. They posted a nice screen, too.

According to Sony's Patrick Seybold though, this is not happening. "I'm not sure where the image came from," he said to GamePro. "At this point, we haven't made any announcements, and there are no plans for PS2 downloadable titles on PS3."

Pretty decisive words. The source did claim that Sony would reveal the service at E3 this year though, so there's still a possibility Sony is just staying tight-lipped until the big reveal.

I hope they do, especially since the UK PS3s were stripped of backwards compatability.

Nice news. Doing that would be a terrible idea, too many titles and people got them already.
