SCEA – God of War®Collection Announced for PS3"

Great news since i haven't played them before

I'm tempted to buy this despite owning both games. Anything about an EU release?

this is a day 1 purchase for me even if I have to import it from the states, region free game FTW!!!

I already have the both God of war games, but ported to HD, trophies, at a cheap price, what isn't there to like about it, it's full of win!!!

This is absolutely awesom, now that's official! But no word on demo, right?

OMG, if they do this for collection to hype people for God of war 3, then imagine the collection fro Ico and shadow of the colossus...OMG this just blows my fucking mind, it's full of so much awesome right now!!!

I curse Sony if they don't bring his Europe this holiday season!

Seriously, If "The_God_of_War" didnt who will?

Good point

Next they gotta do an ICO/SOTC pack before TLG comes out.

I wonder why Sony didnt do same thing with other game. Hope they will make Team ICO collection (ICO, SOTC), GT collection (GT3, GT4) before sequel come out. Only PS3 can do this with its Blu Ray's huge space.
