Don't expect the PS2 to be the next Dreamcast just because of this. It only means that an indie dev with the funds to buy a PS2 SDK can publish their game without having to buy a license.

Hopefully Sony can provide both the financial support for these guys as well as the financial/industry backing. Fingers crossed this means that Sony will be able to hire/employ developers they see have potential. Who knows, I really hope one day I'll be playing a game made by 'Obli' or see a 'I started developing games because of Sony and Threespeech' in some game dev's blog someday :P I really hope this means that the PS2 will become a stronghold for indie developers, there are some seriously awesome games floating around on the internet.

I'm a graduate trying to get a job in the games industry. I guess this news doesn't make it any easier / cheaper for me to get started, just possible to take my 'game' to market? I'd be interested on any more info relevant to the budding hobbyist / enthusiast games developer. I’d love to have a go at developing something… anything for the PS2.

I hope so as the PS2 got traded in a long time ago! Great but will this mean that the PS2 capabilities of my backward-compatible launch-unit PS3 are also open?

Viva la revolution! Hopefully this will spark of a resurgence of some of the bedroom coders from the Amiga era. Looking forward to the idea of some interesting indie and scene coders pushing the last drop of juice from the PS2 :) This is very cool. Viva la revolution!

No content approval for DLC is interesting, obviously that is Sony's first play in the emerging 3rd Party DLC battleground!
