How much would YOU be willing to pay for PS2 games on the PS store?

I was thinking about this after I read the Blu show's thread, and thought I'd just throw it out there for the SGC. What do you think would be a fair price for PS2 games if/when they start showing up on the Playstation Store?

You can get new PS2 Greatest Hits games for $20 retail nowadays. In fact, you can get a lot of non-Hits games for about that price. If you factor in used game prices (and I think Sony should when considering prices), you can get 'em for less. PS1 games on the PS store range from $5 to $10, if my memory serves me.

Considering this, and the fact that the games aren't really taking up any physical space (just "virtual space"), I think PS2 games should cost NO MORE than $15, maybe $20 if they get the GOW 1 & 2 treatment (with trophies and all that jazz). Like the PS1 games, should there be a sliding price scale depending on the game?

BTW, I wanted to make this a poll, but all I have to post is my phone right now.

$15/20 is pretty steep i think. i wouldn't mind paying that if the games were remastered for HD like the GOW collection as you said, and obviously if it's something i really wanted. But otherwise i think $10 is fair.

I won't pay a premimun for simply having PS2 games available on the PSN. I'd rather just get a cheap second-hand PS2. But it's definitely something Sony will try to milk as the continually phase out the PS2.

£5 or less. £10 only if it's a truly amazing game.

15 or 20 sounds good

I would be willing to pay around £10 for a straigt non remastered copy but £15-£20 if its good and remastered.

It would make more sense to back trilogies if they are making remastered games, which I would buy at 40. But PSN non mastered yeah 10-15 sounds reasonable.
