The Sly Collection costs a tidy $39.99 photo

Sony has today announced that The Sly Collection -- the PS3 re-release of the Sly Cooper games -- will hit store shelves for the very reasonable price of $39.99. For less than a full retail game, you'll get your hands on three respected action platformers, all jazzed up in high definition. 

The Sly Collection will also feature 3D visuals for all three games, and a collection of PlayStation Move minigames, because we definitely need those on the PS3. All that and the obligatory Trophy support makes this quite the worthy package. 

I'll be picking it up for sure. What about you lot?

Had I not 100%'ed the first two games maybe. Great deal for anyone that never played them though, easily the best controlling platformers on the PS2.

Do i really need this? I never got round to playing them on the ps2 but at the moment i have spent waaay too much on consoles games and apple products, is it really essential to my existence?

I will certainly pick this up down the line! Missed out on these games back in the day, would love to discover them via the PS3.

When is this coming out? If it's on October, this will surely be a day one purchase for me.

Hmmmm. Too bad it won't launch the same day as Move. Ah well. I guess I'll get my Eyepet on.

I played a wee bit of the first one. Pretty solid, I'd definitely be willing to come back to it on the PS3.

Make a Ratchet collection and we'll talk.

Still, 13.33 per game isn't bad. I already 100%'d the first but I could stand to play the second and third. Unless they announce a Ratchet collection.

I'm picking this up because I can, and because some bitch still has my copy of the first game. God knows I'm not getting that back.

While I am definitely going to get this (never owned them last gen) I still would rather have Sony patch in PS2 BC in the next software update.

I want to be able to play all those PS2 games on my HDTV without having my eyes bleed. Because I know God Hand and Killer 7 are never going to be released this way.

I was sold on this the second I heard about it. Now I'll probably be getting another couple of copies as gifts.

The Sly Cooper series is one of my favorite games from my youth, along with Kingdom Hearts and Spyro the Dragon (I started gaming later than most, with an original Playstation). Personally, I wish I could get this, but I don't have a PS3 (I chose the 360 over the PS3 at the time). I seriously suggest anyone who wants an awesome platforming experience to get this collection. The second game is absolutely amazing, combining the best that the PS2 platforming era had to offer.

$40 is a steal for these games. I always meant to buy them and was actually thinking of getting the PS2 versions, but fuck that now.

Good God Almighty. How dumb are all of you for wanting this at this price?! All three games are less than this "so called" collection, and non of the extra stuff is worth the extra $20 or so you would need to spend on the collection. Here a link to the prices of all three games compared to the Collection from the GameStop website:
http://www.gamestop.com/browse/search.aspx?N=0&Ntk=TitleKeyword&Ntx=mode+matchallpartial&Ntt=sly

Do you guys love getting ripped off or what? Just buy all of the games at GameStop. Or, even better, wait it out for about half a year and have the producers reduce the price to a reasonable $19.99 like it should be. I'll say it again: nothing about this product justifies the extra $20 you would be spending to get games which are worth roughly $22 in total.

Argh, this reminds me that I still need to get the Mega Man Zero collection. Well, this, and that he's super awesome in Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom.

One of many PS2 classics I never got around to trying out. I'm definitely in this time around.

Oh, they confirmed 3D for all three games? It was originally only confirmed for the third game, interesting to see that they implemented it across the board.

Never played them and I hear good things about these games so yes, I will probably pick it up sooner or later.

I'm really hoping that they are going to pull this HD gig on more PS2 series.
If there's one serie I'd really look forward to be released in HD it's the Jak&Daxter series.

Yeah, sure. I'm in. Heard good things about the series, but they had already gotten scarce by the time I got a PS2.

stop refering to hd its just a stupid name for 720/1080P/i
tenshin78's Avatar - Comment posted on 07/22/2010 10:52

it easier to just say/write "HD" than 720/1080p/i
+ there are a lot of people who can not tell what the "p", the "i" or even the numbers (460/720/1080) means.

I never played any of these games but I always wanted too. So I was sold on this the second I heard about it. I'm very happy to hear about the $40 price tag though, I was expecting to pay $60 for it.
