"It should be optional. If I want to play Shadow of the Colossus on my PS3, I shouldn't be forced to buy the PS3 version on a system which should still be BC. Also isn't it upscaled 1080p? Movie market aren't forced to upgrade, Blu-Ray players play DVD's."

Ha, I tried putting my VHS tapes and Laserdiscs in my dvd / blu-ray player, but they don't fit :(
As soon as digital distribution is far enough to release a drive less console / movie player, all bc will be gone.

It's lame that Sony doesn't offer a BC machine anymore, but hey if people hadn't complained so much about the price they wouldn't have shaved off all the extras. I miss the built-in card reader and 4 usb ports from my old machine too. Then again my Wii doesn't even want to play an audio CD.

ICO is remastered in native 1080p, it looks very good. Quite a feat considering it runs in 512x224 on the ps2. That's a jump from VHS to blu-ray quality.

"With Display Settings at 1080p, Ico delights with a native full HD framebuffer, again with MLAA applied - making it the first full 1920x1080 title we've seen to be running the computationally expensive post-process, providing a wonderfully crisp, eye-pleasing image. Switch over to stereoscopic 3D, and we have full 720p resolution per eye - again with MLAA engaged."

It's worth buying it again believe me.

I'm not saying Sony shouldn't have made the game, I'm saying I can't support voting for it because I should still be able to play my DVD copies on my PS3.

I don't think BC is an extra, it's a basic inclusion. How hard would it be to have PS3 emulate PS2 disks? That price was ridiculous at the start, but if BC is so important, why don't they include BC support intheir higher memory models? I'd pay the extra for that.

Also I probably will get it when I get a PS4 (Ps3 broke, waiting for the gen to end to replace it with a BC PS4). I don't have ICO, but I could always borrow the PS2 disk....which I can't play now.
