PS3 HD Collections Thread
Superchop:
Most PS3 games aren't region locked so I'd say they can count at least on a non-region specific master list lol

Exactly. Both Silent Hill 1 and Metal Gear Solid 1 are PS1 games. There is just no way to HD them without a complete remake, and Nintendo does indeed own the exclusitivity for Twin Snakes. Konami was able to use a loophole in order to use the Twin Snakes audio in MGS4, but nothing else. They could have used a code, but then it'd almost be false marketing, because people would assume that everything in the case is HD.
In the case of the God of War Saga collection, I don't get the hate. Yes, the PSP games are downloads, yes, I try to avoid download only things as best as I can. However, the only other option is to add a second Blu-ray disc to the package, raising the cost. God of War III itself is over 32GB, as reported by Santa Monica, and God of War 1 and 2 both came on dual-layer DVDs, indicating that they are over 4.7GB as well. A look at sites of dubious legality gives a size of 18.57GB for the God of War Collection, 9.11 GB for Ghost of Sparta, and 7.37 GB for Chains of Olympus.
And honestly, if you have to have them on disc, like myself, there is a perfectly good collection disc already available...

I don't think it's hate persay, just how they went about releasing it. A 3rd disc really shouldn't have been much of an issue especially since the Killzone hd release is suppossedly 3 discs. I mean 20 gigs in the grand scope of things really isn't much but for people with slow connections, monthly caps or even no internet connection on their ps3, they'll think twice about d/ling them. Also the voucher is only mentioned in some fine print that's easily overlooked and if it was me I'd feel a bit deceived since it does say 5 games and nothing about d/l vouchers on the front.
Granted I already have each game individually so the Collection doesn't interest me in one bit but if a person does want to have all the discs they either have to buy them seperate (which may or may not be more then the collection) or buy the collection and then the standalone psp disc and sell the vouchers.

oh i know they wouldnt be "HD" but still omiting them makes the collection kinda pointless if you never played the series ,

Dude, we have been telling alot of people on this thread, that the Killzone Trilogy is all on 1 disc, not 3. You weren't paying any attention then I guess.
