God of War Saga - WTF?!
Maben:
So I'm a latecomer to the God of War series and was looking forward to getting the entire collection for the PS3, seeing as they HD-ed the 2 PS2 and the 2 PSP games. This would result in buying the GoW Collection (I & II), GoW Origins (Chains of Olympus & Ghost of Sparta), and GoW III.
Well guess what! They just released God of War Saga (all 5 games) about a week ago for a $39.99 price point. Rejoice! Oh wait...
"The games featured in the collection include God of War, God of War II, God of War III, God of War: Chains of Olympus, and God of War: Ghost of Sparta. It includes two Blu-ray Discs – including God of War and God of War II on the first and God of War III on the second – and a voucher to download Chains of Olympus and Ghost of Sparta. The games retain the same features as their first releases on the PS3. In addition to the games, the collection features exclusive bonus content and a voucher for a one month trial of PlayStation Plus. It was released on August 28, 2012 in North America. The games, with the exception of God of War III, are also available to download from the PlayStation Store." -Wikipedia
WTF Sony! I want a damn 3rd disc. I don't want over a third of my hard drive taken up with two games and/or endure a lengthy download when I want to play them. This is why I hate the direction games are going. They already had them in disc form and had been selling them! Why couldn't they just put that same disc in this collection? This is a total slap in the face.
So now I am either going to go with my original plan of buying all 3 discs, or buy the Saga and try to sell the voucher (and then buy the Origins Collection). The efforts to curb buying used games continues...
On a related note, there are plenty of games on the PSN store being released (mainly HD treatments) that I would gladly buy for the retail price if I could get them in disc form. Is the demand just not there? Or is the production of physical copies just too expensive? I don't get it.
Superchop:
Yeah, I thought that was a dumb move...even more when if I heard correctly the "Saga" doesn't come with any instruction manuals! Same with the Infamous collection that they released.
Although, It doesn't really bother me since I bought GOW Collection, Origins and GOW 3 seperate from each other. Origins I even got as a little set that came bundled with a red ps3 controller. I too much prefer having the disc over the dlc so I would've never bought the GOW Saga.
BudgetGameCases:
Stuff like this is why I don't own a PS3 - horrible fan service.
Superchop:
Truth be told, I'm not a fan of Sony and the ps3 is my least favorite of the current gen systems. But I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy playing their exclusives. Anything that's not exclusive though I always get for the 360.
The God of War Saga, is a sorry excuse at trying to get more money before the new GOW game comes out and it's something that was in no way shape or form was needed. The HD remakes already available so I really saw no point in rereleasing it the way they did. I'm not saying I don't appreciate the HD remakes, but releasing it just the 1 time is more then enough.

you still have the original 60GB hard drive? BOTH Psp remakes come to just under 20GB Use the money your saving from not buying them all separately to get a new Hard Drive
