Ken Kutaragi has spelt at the TGS(Tokyo Game Show 2006) that apart from PSOne and PS2 titles to be playable on the PS3 based on the e-distribution initiative, he has also announced that Genesis (Megadrive) software also would be offered. The e-distribution initiative from Sony looks promising:)

THAT is why it's ok to say that Sony is stealing the idea.
Actually the only system out there to have ever done downloadable games to be played through emulation is the Dreamcast, which had a genesis and tg16 emulator built into some of it's web browsers, that allowed you to play emulated games of those systems for a fee.
how so please let us knowQuote:
