GO ICOOOO!

binary · Jul 28, 2004

i did my part. i bought the game within the first week of its' release. ico is also the last ps2 game i bought...almost 3 years ago.

Lord Error · Jul 28, 2004

I cannot believe this game couldn't sell more even in Europe, with the wonderful treatment they gave it there.

650k is quite good. How much at full price ??

dark10x · Jul 28, 2004

I bought the game on release date (alongside Silent Hill 2). What an incredible day that was!

Why's that?

ourumov · Jul 28, 2004

I haven't found it yet...

Solid · Jul 28, 2004

I bought it, didn't like it so I sold it.

u_neek · Jul 28, 2004

I bought it just because of it's nice package...

jenov4 · Jul 28, 2004

Someone not liking Ico? How dare you!!

The numbers aren't too bad actually.

Shompola · Jul 28, 2004

I bought the PAL version dirt cheap.

Less than a third I'd bet... Ico deserved better. :/

Diomedeskun · Jul 28, 2004

Many wonderful memories with that game.

Grizzlyjin · Jul 28, 2004

Whoa, I didn't expect it to sell more here than in Japan. Well thats good enough, but the game deserves 2 million+. I did my part, bought that baby and loved it.

It's a Greatest Hits game. How hard could it be?

Not the last I heard. Would be great news if it was as stores designate certain areas for greatest hits and thus could pull in some extra sales. But I don't think it is a GH

I think he's from Spain so he probably means the PAL version.

Come on, a game like ICO is way too deep for the mass market, sad but true...

I can't wait to see the sequel, but where will it take place this time? Another castle? How about the ruins of an ancient city this time?

FortNinety · Jul 28, 2004

I have the verison on the blue disc. Should I try to get the DVD version as well?

If you are the fan of this game in any capacity, then yes. For the packaging and the in-game improvements alone.

jenov4 · Jul 28, 2004

I believe the DVD version of this game is only available in Europe. But read that it has a built in 60hz selector?

This game never became a GH (ie reprinted with the GH logo) just the price dropped down to GH levels.

It means SCEE has treated it with utmost respect.

Chrono · Jul 28, 2004

I want that DVD version.

I searched amazon, ebgames, gamestop, Best buy, walMart, and NONE of them have it. I called my local gamestop and the guy said even if they had copies of the game they would be pre-owned.

I have a pre-owned one but the case is broken and it just doesn feel as good as a new game.

If anybody knows where to get a new one-- post the link please!

edit:

Can I trust Ebay sellers when they say their Ico copies are new?

here are two:

jenov4 · Jul 28, 2004

Chrono, sure why not? I've seen plenty new copies of ICO at Walmart. The DVD version only came out in Europe.

Link316 · Jul 28, 2004

here you go Chrono, ICO brand new for $12.99
http://www.buy.com/retail/product.asp?sku=50010969&loc=108&sp=1&queryType=

those ebay copies might be new, I just no longer buy from sellers who don't show photos of the actual item

Chrono · Jul 28, 2004

Thanks guys.

edit: made a topic about it.

Lord Error · Jul 28, 2004

Yes. It can be run on the US PS2 if you have a mod chip or even on unmodded console if you have HDLoader and want to fiddle with attaching the PS2 HDD to your PC.

DCharlie · Jul 29, 2004

"Japan: ca. 160.000 St." ????

Eh???
Where did the extra 90,000 sales come from?

Jumpman · Jul 29, 2004

What did they add to the European version that is not in the U.S. version?

Diomedeskun · Jul 29, 2004

Subtitles for Yorda and a graphical filter both for your second play, a new weapon (a club), and an extra bit at the end where Ico and Yorda eat watermelons at the beach, or so I seem to remember hearing. I think the club was found in a new area with new puzzles.

This is all from the Japanese version, which released well after the US version.
