Picked up a copy in Montreal just now. For those who care:
1. Yes there is a dual language cover
2. Yes it is poorly printed
3. No there is no reverse cover, please proceed to custom cover GAF

It'd be nice if there was some way us Canadians were given an option for a downloadable version of that cover or something... lame :/Crewnh said:Just picked up my copy. As per usual, Canadians get screwed out of the reversible cover. Fuck you Sony.
Most 360 games just have the American cover and then an additional french cover shrink wrapped onto the case which is what I prefer.
What's wrong with the downloadable version they put out?infinityBCRT said:

I can't seem to find the TLG footage or maybe I'm blind. I wonder if it's an unlockable.

Just watched the interview in the game. There's new TLG footage (well new for me) I'll spoiler it for the media blackout peeps.
Gonna start playing this now!
Torico's horns look longer and greenish blue, and there's a clip of the kid pulling out the spears from Torico's body.
Gonna start playing this now!

I notice there are 2 empty square in the bonus vids section of the disc... do you think there are 2 more videos, 1 for each game...or possibly more TLG insight?
Strange that none of this stuff is up on the net yet?

You know what the ultimate unlockable for this collection shouldve been? (if they even had included any)
...You get to see the actual release date for The Last Guardian
Im guessing the other vids are unlocked when you complete each game.

Ah, well the thing is... I hadn't seen that beforeStuBurns said:
Now I just need to figure out how to get that printed to the correct size. Would kinkos print & cut it for me? Printing it out myself would be lame because cutting it out with scissors would look horrible.

He also seems to be forgetting that Ico and Yorda speak their own languages, and that that's part of the charm.
(That said, I'm very glad to be able to read what's in my Japanese games and books. Had I not been able to, and had the Valkyria Chronicles artbook not been translated, I probably would have laboriously looked words up one by one in a dictionary just to fully appreciate that book!)

Yeah I made sure to preorder this one because its the type of game that could end up not selling well and becoming rare since GameStops wouldn't order a second batch.ScOULaris said:

Ah yeah, first interview, definitely new footage. Time for me to start as well, glad I know very little about these games.TONX said:

Copies are going VERY fast. I'm in the K-Mart thread on CAG and people are saying they were selling out earlier this morning.
And hopefully someone comes out with a printable cover of the Japanese styled one with both games on the front so I can replace this shitty one. The reversible one isn't that great either.

I think your complaint should be directed at your government. Don't they have laws that require publishers to create special versions for Canada? I believe this is why you get screwed on such things.

Just picked up a copy at Game Buzz in Downtown Montreal....
BEHOLD FELLOW CANADIANS!
It does have the reversible cover and all (I can see from outside of the packaging), but I'm not opening it until I get home! I went to Game Buzz because I knew that they sometimes sold the U.S. versions of games.

I have a question regarding two ICO trophies that involve "demo scenes". What the hell are demo scenes? It sounds like something that occurs if I just stare at the title screen and dont touch anything on the controller.

So two bronzes just for watching cutscenes? Interesting...

I predict lots of "Gaf you lied" posts regarding ICO from first time players.
It just may be something you didn't expect.
I remember back in the day it was hyped to heavens, when I played I must admit I was kind of bored.
It's a good game, beautiful art wise but suited to the certain expectations and mood - preferably melancholy.

Does the US version have avatars?
I can't seem to find them.
I can't seem to find them.
Regarding "ICO hype", when I played it back in '01, I fell in love with the art, atmosphere, design, puzzles, and an overwhelming sense of loneliness and dread. In a way, many of those things carried over quite consistently in SotC.
However, I made no apologies for the simplistic combat, even though I knew what purpose it served. ICO was a case for me where after it was over, it left quite the lasting impression on me... those feelings still linger. That game, for me, is about the small, personal moments. Conversely, with SotC, it was more about the amazing peaks that game was able to hit (even though it has its fair share of quiet magic).

I got the game yesterday, but i'm reticent to open it.
Should i return it to futureshop and get my 40 bucks back and wait for inevitable bomba pricing? or just crack it open now?
