Man, I daresay North America snagged a better over-all boxart for this collection than Europe. (discounting the reversible cover anyway)

Do not discount the reversible cover.

 

[J2 Cool]

Thing I'm most excited about in videogames right now. The horse running at perfect framerate in that trailer is too beautiful, on SotC. And Ico's among my top 10 favorite games ever most likely.

 

[pelicansurf]

How much is the CE if you are trying to import it to the US from play/yesasia? Including the conversion rate for dollars please.

 

[LeCapitan]

How would you guys go about printing out a nice quality cover if, dare I say, you loathed the NA cover but felt the EU reverse cover was pretty decent looking?

How come the trailer isn't on the damn PS Store? I want to see it on my beautiful TV!

 

[galian beast]

I might give this a try, but every time i play these two games, I'm quickly disappointed.

 

[Erigu]

Preorders for the (Japanese) limited box are back.

 

[ShinoguTakeruKoeru]

Preorders for the (Japanese) limited box are back.

It says on the product that it can't be shipped outside Japan. Is that for real or do people go through Deputy Services through Amazon.jp for games?

Edit: Answering my own question, sucks. Deputy service would completely negate the savings so egh.

 

[Kagari]

Damnit. I totally missed out.

 

[SleazyC]

Preorders for the (Japanese) limited box are back.

Unfortunately it looks like it can't be shipped out of Japan. Might be able to use a middle-man but I'm just going to stick with my chances from my yesasia pre-order.

 

[klee123]

I was like 20 mins away from missing out at P-A. Thank god I preordered on time when I finished work 2 weeks ago.

 

[Galactic Fork]

I'm really glad I wasn't here when the pre-orders were going on, I probably would have talked myself into ordering it. Now I just hope we get our own LE in the US.

Does the Japanese version have english subtitles for the crazy fake language of the series?

 

[Erigu]

Does the Japanese version have english subtitles for the crazy fake language of the series?

The PlayStation 2 versions didn't have them (unless you could get them by changing the system's language? kinda doubt that was the case), so I wouldn't bet on it...

If you replay the game Yorda's dialgoue gets subbed. Pretty sure this was JP/PAL only, like a lot of other extra stuff.

 

[Erigu]

I know. But we were talking about English subtitles in the Japanese versions.

 

[MidnightRider]

the end of the year is really going to suck for my wallet

 

[SentientStone]

Really cannot wait to receive this, just in time for my birthday too (assuming shipping does not take over 2 weeks). This is easily my most anticipated release of the year now besides Uncharted 3... does not really bode well for how I view most of the releases this year. ;p

 

[Erigu]

Preorders for the (Japanese) limited box are back.

... aaaand they're gone again.

 

[zerodayPopbot]

Looks like there is going to be an Asian release of the Japanese limited edition.

We’re just a few short months away from the release of the ICO & Shadow of the Colossus Collection for PlayStation 3. As mentioned in the original announcement, this new collection features two of the most highly acclaimed video games of all time, now with full 1080p HD and stereoscopic 3D support, 7.1 surround sound, and full PSN Trophy support, all for just $39.99.

As if that wasn’t enough reason to pick up this collection in September, I’m happy to announce that the disc will also come with some amazing bonus content. Packed in every new copy of the game will be a voucher for two XMB Dynamic Themes, one for ICO and one for Shadow of the Colossus. In addition, on the disc itself will be a ton of exclusive video content from ICO, Shadow of the Colossus, and The Last Guardian that fans won’t want to miss. We’re busy finalizing the videos as we speak, and will have more details to share next month.

Don’t forget to pre-order your copy before it hits stores on September 27!

oh so tasty!

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

Oh god that sounds amazing. The themes will be EPIC.

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

Done and Done.

 

[alr1ght]

ohh nice. The bonus vids are probably the ones from the bonus JP release of SOTC.

 

[Mirimar]

Ico theme just needs to be Yorda and the hero sitting on the stone save spots.

didn't we already see the Ico theme? Or was that the SOTC theme? I remember watching a vid and it was on the TV and it looked amazing. There's a chance it could have been the layout it shows when you have the disc highlighted on the XMB (I bet the theme would be similar though).

 

[semiconscious]

japanese limited edition ($90) now available for pre-order on playasia!...

 

[leroidys]

90? Damn I really don't think I can justify that.

 

[Azure Phoenix]

japanese limited edition ($90) now available for pre-order on playasia!...

"THIS ITEM IS NOT AVAILABLE IN YOUR TERRITORY"

Should have known that would happen since they refuse to send 90% of Sony products to Europe. Does anywhere else have this available to order?

 

[Replicant]

japanese limited edition ($90) now available for pre-order on playasia!...

YES! YES! YES! I made it in time this time. Thank you Sir!

90? Damn I really don't think I can justify that.

Heh, as an Australian, I feel that it's cheaper than what we normally have to pay for our games ($100/game). Add to it the good Aus exchange rate and considering I get 2 games for the price of 1 this is a no brainer for me.

 

[Kazuma Kiryu]

japanese limited edition ($90) now available for pre-order on playasia!...

thanks a lot man, didn't manage to grab one when it first came up, but made it this time!

 

[Carnby]

Thanks for the heads up. I was able to score a copy too.

 

[Le-mo]

Thanks for the heads up. I got it pre-ordered.

[SamBishop]

Our press copies just came in and I'm just letting it sit here on the save music. Sooooooooo gooooooood. Oh, how I missed these games.

 

[AranhaHunter]

I'm hoping these games will be put up on PSN because I would prefer to own the digital copies of these gems.

Wow, that early? I'm so jealous!

 

[SamBishop]

Wow, that early? I'm so jealous!

Yeah, Sony's really been on the ball lately; the God of War Origins oack showed up earlier this week. It's incredible how well ICO/Shadow hold up, though.

[HAttyboy]

Do, someone know if the CE is only coming to Japan?

 

[SamBishop]

Please, don't tell us more... I need this game, asap

I'm not really sure what else to tell. There's no embargo on previews, so I'll happily answer any questions, but no talk of scores or anything. I'll just stick to the facts. But my GOD do both games hold up wonderfully.

The Trophies seem fairly reasonable for the most part, though I don't know about Platinuming 'em.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Do, someone know if the CE is only coming to Japan?

Yeah, it's exclusive.

 

[HAttyboy]

Damn.... Thanks.

 

[Talladega Knight]

what's the US release date?

what's the US release date?

Sep 27

All those bonuses and videos sound godly. What a great package this is going to be. It's tragic that something like this isn't being done with Square's PS2 efforts. A similar package of X and X-2 with such bonuses at that price would be bought in a heartbeat. Hell, it'd be bought at $59.
