[QUOTE="2cvbloke, post: 986472, member: 199791"] You can play some select PS2 games on a PS4 so long as you buy & download them from Sony's Playstation Store and have an active PS Plus subscription on the go (sounds familiar that, having to sub to get certain features!!), but to play existing games you already have on disc, forget it, current PC emulators are shaky at best, so better just to use the real hardware, you can pick up a PS2 or PS3 for peanuts at the moment as people are more interested in the PS4 and their new variants... The PS4 is basically just an AMD-CPU'd PC with a securely locked-down BIOS, so plenty of power to run emulators, but Sony are being a bit slow (probably intentionally) at getting emulation for previous console games up and running, it's a shame really as the consoles could do so much more, but, like a sky box, are severely limited to keep you on their particular track rather than make it a nice universal system...
