Sold out completely on Play-asia after only just going up after a few hours.
Yesasia sold out alsi.

If you didnt order, prepare for paying $300+ on ebay. Im not kidding, those ebay sellers overprice rare items tenfold.

Shocked that Yesasia sold out. Guess after PA sold out people rushed over to them.

This is a low print CE similar to NA Demons Souls Deluxe Ed I would say.
Im interested in hearing the exact numbers/numers playasia had. I wouldnt be surprised if it was less than 100. Sold QUICK.

Insane For Sony
Both games look absolutely great in the cam videos. I do think I've spotted some screen tearing in Ico portion of the video though. Nope, no screen tearing, it was just the web player acting out. Played the same video through VLC and it's clean.

Happy to see that new remade Ico intro sequence doesn't actually have framerate problems as that one trailer showed it would. Also good to see new motion blur was added to Ico as well.

Now I don't feel so bad for wasting so much time refreshing Play-Asia every few hours since the CE announcement.

Dammit, does play asia cancel your order if credit card failed to charge?
Click to expand...

i think they would probably email you to request updated info before they cancel. you should shoot them an email about that.

I'm certain it's not as pretty, I'm not certain that's why people are importing it though.

I'm certain they haven't released official US box art. I'm uncertain of your certainty.

It's in the OP, along with release dates for NA/EU, which is about a week after the JPN release.

I personally, don't know why people would import when the releases are so close or over a boxart, especially considering the price.

Same, but that's too awesome to happen unfortunately.

This too. Though, I didn't think Catherine would make it state side and the US version was announced before my order arrived from Play Asia. Maybe I can continue the trend with the Ico/Shadow LE.

Is there a way I can pick this up on amazon.jp and get it shipped to the EU? Silly Play Asia doesnt send Sony stuff to the UK...

Lik, you see quite knowledgeable about this. if I have an order and an address in Japan, can I pay for it with my UK card? I know some places like Apple don't allow it, but I'm not sure with Amazon.

I think so. I use an American CC and it allows me to ship to a Japanese address (if I have one)

Really? Oh, sure, the default cover isn't much fun:

...but if you reverse the inlay you get this:

Perfect![/QUOTE]
That is not the US cover. Nor I would argue is it as nice as the Japanese special edition.

No, it's the EU cover. The question you answered by stating that the cover isn't as pretty was this one: "Why is everyone importing? This is coming to the US and Europe right?" It wasn't just about the US cover.

But no, of course it's not as nice as the Japanese CE. Much better than the default EU or US cover though.

I read his mind and knew he was from the US, and he kindly highlighted that a few posts below. That's just how good I am.

Are all EU spines that ugly? US person here, so I wouldn't know.
Click to expand...

Third party spines usually aren't (though it happens), but for some reason Sony's own games always have this boring font on their spines. No idea why.

Some of the screens are older, but some are new to me. I'll put those in the OP.

Can a mod change the title to reflect that there are now NA/EU dates/boxarts/screens?

man ICO's native resolution was 512x224 ( that slightly above the PSone 320x240 res ), and it's look mighty fine rendered on so much higher res.

I'm really hoping the Playstation TV is available in Europe in September. Picking this up with one of those TV's will be quite something.

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

Honestly, not getting the love for the Japanese set. Looks like a screenshot from ICO run through some kind of pastel filter?
