The following comments relate to this news article:
article published on 5 September, 2009
Sony has announced they will be releasing a two-in-one game for the first time on the PlayStation 3, re-releasing the blockbuster hits God of War and God of War 2 on one Blu-ray Disc
The PS3 team, in a not-so-subtle knock at its rivals, says it would not be possible for the Wii or Xbox 360 to place two complex, HD games like the God of War series on one disc, as they use the lower capacity ... [ read the full article ]

It doesn't upset me since I think the price for 2 great games with Trophies & ported (not upscaled) graphics @ $40 is not so bad and is not at all "an extortionate price". $50 would have been an issue but $30 would have been perfect, imho. Then again my personal view on the cost of things is different from someone else, since what I make and spend my own money on is personal to me. Either way I look at it like this, those who want it will buy it, those who don't agree with it won't. I personally won't...maybe borrow or rent it (for the trophies) but not buy it because I have 2 PS3's that have BC as well as 2 PS2's to choose from if I REALLY wanted to play them.
As for the backwards compatibility issue, I have said it before

If people wanted BC & OtherOS/Linux capabilities they should have purchased one that had those features in it. But to complain about it now when the PS3 Slim is cheaper with less features then they only have themselves to blame....You can't please everyone. They want a lower price, they get it and complain about not enough choices...they say it has too many features, they get them removed and they continue to complain more...they don't think BC is needed...only to complain later that it's wanted...oh well like I said ~ Those who complain have only themselves to blame.
I see it as a good thing since publishers tend to forget their back catalog but I'd like to see some polish and added value to the whole thing.
I would not mind seeing a new game get re released as a "whole" or finished project after 6-12 months of its release, you know drive sales as much as you can with the 60$ game then come out with a fixed version for 30-40 it sucks but its better than DLC......

they shoudl have done this with killzone 1 IMO :)
i cant wait for this, hopefully its £30, as £15 for both games seems very good, esp with 720p res and trophy support.

If you dont like it, dont buy it. simple. i dont see why people dont bitch about xbox 360 selling old games via xbox Live.

Oh Zippy...don't get me started on DLC and how there are certain titles that are nothing more than DLC content but labeled as a full game with a full price tag! Now THAT is "extortion".

Even worse when the game has clear flaws that need to be adressed but are over looked for DLC SW:unleashed,FO3,Bioshock, my god its endless.... you know I will pay 10$ for the flaws to be fixed.... or a wide and varied cheat system so I can enjoy SP.....

This is a nice way to compensate for the lack of backwards compatibility. Other game combos that should be ported to the PS3 with updated graphics and features include the Gran Turismo series, Tekken 4/5, Metal Gear Solid 2/3, Resident Evil CVX/4 (updated controls on RECVX), Devil May Cry 1-3, Mortal Kombat PS2 series, and Tomb Raider Anniversary/Legend. Playing those games with 1080p graphics would be like visual sex.

Personally, I'm looking forward to picking this one up. I have both games on the ps2, but will gladly buy this 2 pack for my ps3 and would also like to see them do the same for the Ratchet and Clank, Jak and Daxter, and Devil May Cry series. If they do, I'll buy 'em for sure. -Rick

yes but unlike you im 17 and didnt have $600 to blow on a console 3 years ago so it would be nice to have for the people who didnt have a chance to get it and im pretty sure you would want B/C if yours didnt have it right so the people with it dont care and tell people to get over it and people without want it
also another point the ps3 slim is more powerful allong with smaller cause of the advancements also i am compleatly covered under warrenty
as manufacturing costs go down prices go down
Linux was removed due to hardware revisions
