As speculated a few days ago, but bigger sites have picked up on this now:
Digital Foundry: Hands-on with PS4's PlayStation 2 emulation
But it's not clear if at some point we will get the ability to plop our PS2 discs into the PS4 to play - i doubt it, as there's no money to be made, but one can still hope given MS is currently crowing hard about 360 emulation, with authentication via old discs.
Digital Foundry: Hands-on with PS4's PlayStation 2 emulation
As it happens, the PlayStation 4's PS2 emulator is now available, released with no fanfare whatsoever. A new PS4 Star Wars bundle has been released, including a package of four 'classic' franchise titles: Super Star Wars, Star Wars: Jedi Starfighter, Star Wars: Racer Revenge and Star Wars: Bounty Hunter. All four titles are supplied via a single PSN code, as opposed to a physical disc included with the hardware. You'll note that three of those titles hail from the PlayStation 2 era, and after we downloaded them, it became clear that all of them are running under emulation.
