That is great news. Now I just need a PS3 :) but in all seriousness, these games have grabbed my attention for a long time so hopefully I'll get to play them one day.

I did play shadow on PS2, but could never find ICO anywhere. SotC is one of my favorite games of all time, so there's no question. I am definitely buying the HD collection, it looks fantastic in HD at 60fps. :D

Take 2 has their dates wrong, it's actually out 27 September according to IGN.

I contacted Ster Kinekor on twitter about the release date and they assured me it was the 7th of September. Even though the UK/US get it at the end of September. If we do get it on the 7th I'll be very surprised.

I've got both of these for the PS2. Will play them again on the PS3.

I've always walked past Ico in the video rental store thinking that game looks interesting. Never got to it though. I want to play it finally. Looks pretty too, saw some videos of it remastered.

I've never had a PS2 and through the years I've just heard good things about both games on different forums. At that price I'll definitely get it within the next month or so.

I remember seeing Ico on Cybernet when the PS2 was just about released. Never got to actually play it though. Definitely want to pick this up.

I've heard lots of good things about both these games - So I look forward to playing them on PS3.
Unfortunately I missed both on the ps2 :(

I've had mine on pre order from March from exclus1ves! Can't believe its just a day away from release :D
