I left my ps2 collection behind when I moved from Europe to Canada as it was all PAL region locked :( It was soon after Ico was released, so I immediately bought the NTSC version over here to finish the game. Don't regret at all paying twice for that game, and will buy the HD ico/sotc collection as well :)
Too bad I don't have ffvii fvviii and fvix anymore, the first jak and dexter, ratchet and clank, the original burnout, mgs 2, silent hill 2, and many others.
