Shadow of the Colossus PS2 $19.99 NON-GH @ BB B&M YMMV

[infinitesymphony]

Best Buy recently lowered the price of Shadow of the Colossus to $19.99 in preparation of the Greatest Hits release. If like me, you hate the bright red GH banner that covers the original artwork, now's the time to buy. YMMV, of course, since they might be sold out at your particular location.

Shadow of the Colossus was created by the same company and team that made Ico, and the two games are similar in spirit; the game is almost a work of art! Plus, SotC pushes the PS2 hardware to its limits, featuring very complex lighting and blur algorithms.

See The Making of Shadow of the Colossus for more details.

Enjoy!

I too hate all "greatest hits"/"player's choice" labels....they are ugly and annoying.

Shame on anyone who didn't support this game at a measily $40. What a terrific experience.

The game looks awsome. Great graphics (look at link).

I really want to play this game, but I gave up my PS2 to my dad a long time ago. I wish they would release it for PC or 360 or something I have.

Even better, I picked up the original copy on sale at Fry's for $14.99. Sale ends Tuesday, Aug. 8th, so go go go!

Valkyrie, which Fry's did you go to? The one nearest me is Renton, WA.

I went to Fry's in Fremont, California. For all of the Bay Area Fry's its advertised in the papers. See Link:
Link to San Jose Mercury

I know the ad shows Greatest hits, but most of the fry's near me have the original copies at that price

You might try adjusting the laser angle - usually fixes a poor reading laser.

I'd love to see SotC ported to the 360 or PS3. And the camera fixed.
