    Oh annoying then, I just don't why they can't make all the PS2 games available on PS4.

    Because if they let you pop a PS2 disc in a PS4 and play it then they would make no money from it :smiley-laughing002:

    If they re-release them digitally like they did with PS1 classics on PS3 there's a lot of red tape to get around, specifically with games like GTA it's the soundtrack, where Rockstar no longer have the licence to use the songs in the game.

    Some kind of converter that you can put on your PS4 and play the discs or try with the licences and make them available digitally, but like you said it's all about huge profit for Sony.

    No need for a converter when a PS4 can read the DVD format, what they could do is charge for an application on PSN which gives you the software on your PS4 to run PS2 games but then the backlash I suspect would be pretty bad. Let's just say that Playstation Now (the PS3 game rental/subscription service on PS4) has went down like a lead balloon.

    Trying to get the licences as far as I've read is too expensive and too much hassle, especially for a game which would retail at £10-£15, much less than it's original £40.

    There was an announcement. PlayStation posted it like two weeks ago just before PSX.
