Seriously? Why WOULDN'T they do this? Lots of people don't buy games on PSN (or XBLA for that matter) and this retail disc release will only widen the market and audience.

I see no problem with this. Day one for me. Haven't played any of those games (besides flower demo).

That cover is an offense to the senses, it's like the most beautiful game ever. They're not quite pulling some Ico shit, but it's pretty rotten.

... Nooo? Journey is the most successful PSN game ever, and Flower was damn successful to. They're doing it because of the success of Journey, not the other way around. Grab the last bit of people who didn't buy it because they are against downloading games, for some reason, or prefer to have a disc on a shelf, and then double-dip on those of us who see some of this extra content and say "I MUST HAVE THIS."

... I MUST HAVE THIS. Developer commentary? Another chance to support Journey, perhaps the best game of this generation, which I would have happily paid many times its asking price to experience?

3 of my favourite games of the generation with a 30 minute interview and developer commentary? AND the OSTs?

Sold.

I think Sony need to release more PSN collections and not just studio based ones, Infamous: Festival of Blood,Dark Mist,Dead Nation,Super Stardust HD on one disc can be good.

If any of this is downloadable instead of on-disc for the EU release, I will punch someone in the face.

Those mini-games sound a little more throwaway than I'd have liked (was hoping for Cloud, or a failed prototype), but everything sounds pretty good, particularly for $30. Want to see some menus and reversible cover art!

Edit: Will trophies and saves carry over?

Another great feature included on the disc are the three exclusive mini-games born out of a thatgamecompany tradition: the 24hr Game Jam. As the name implies, each game was created by us, start to finish, in 24 hours. So for the first time ever, thatgamecompany’s mini-games, Gravediggers, Duke War!!, and Nostril Shot, will be available to play outside of our studio.

We share these mini-games as a “thank you” to our players for supporting us over the years. In case the names didn’t already give it away, these mini-games showcase thatgamecompany’s lighter side with madcap competitive multiplayer action. We hope you sincerely enjoy their silliness as much as we have.

Yesss! Definitely ordering this as soon as I can. I'm so glad they didn't go with some bloated and useless packaging with useless extras that I would never touch. This is exactly what I wanted!

y'all should be ashamed
Theyre including that game jam minigame? Woo! That sounded fun as hell when they were describing it...I can't wait to play it.

I'm guessing they had to get rid of all the Mario sound effects, hah.

Weird that it's called Journey Collector's Edition when it includes all of thatgamecompany's PSN titles. They should have given it a more all-encompassing name, like The Ambient Collection or something.

Anyway, thinking I'll probably get this, despite already owning Flower and Journey.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
Wow. I really hope they mean "art not final." That looks like shit. I'll buy it cuz I haven't played any of these games yet (though I don't particularly care about Flow or Flower), but I wouldn't mind the package looking a bit prettier.

Day one, and my most anticipated game of the year! Haven't played any of the three (don't have the ability to download them), so can't fricken wait!

Throw that onto some artwork that looked like this:


but with a pond at the bottom containing Flow organisms.
Done.

How hard would it've been?
Ugh.

From a marketing standpoint, the best thing to do is sell it as the Journey Collector's Edition. A lot more people know about Journey than flOw, Flower, and thatgamecompany combined. All of your concerns were addressed long ago, and what is happening is the best decision.

While I'm happy for you, Journey is about a million times better with an internet connection...

So while it will still be your game of the year, it might not be your game of the forever. Just a warning. :D

Yeah it sucks, I know, and I can only imagine how it would be with an internet connection. But I plan to move into town by the beginning of 2013 so maybe then I will be able to finally play the online experience with Journey (assuming people still play and the servers are still up). But just the chance to finally be able to play these three games is enough to get me giddy with excitement!
