If you're new to this whole gaming thing, we're fairly certain that picking up Shadow of the Colossus, Ico and the first two Uncharted titles for $60 may be the best decision you will ever make.

Some might say it is the "best" buy.

It's a nice deal, but what kind of discerning PS3 gamer would be
- interested in high art gaming like SotC and Ico
yet...
- doesn't own either Uncharted
- doesn't own either Resistance
- doesn't own either God of War?
I already own all of those games in the bundles EXCEPT the new Team Ico bundle. :(

Like me. Even though I have a PSP I never picked those ones up and I'm sure they would be better on the console anyway.

What? SotC is a much better, much more polished game. Why would you only be interested in one?

Yeah, that seems strange even if you'd played it before. I've never played ICO and I'd still play SotC again, just because. I do wish they'd changed the controls a little instead of just cleaning up the graphics though. I seem to remember it being incredibly difficult operating the camera, the horse, and the bow at the same time.

@Blackbird37 maybe he already has the other game. Ico is pretty cheap for ps2 these days. Not in HD but that's not everything right?

Yet again the article fails to mention that they are price matching Best Buy. So if you can't wait for shipping head to your local Best Buy and get the same deal. Disclaimer: No, I don't work at Best Buy.

What the hell are you going on about? $20 off is a great deal, and Amazon is still king.
Getting Dark Souls, Lion King, Pee Wee's Big Adventure, Jackie Brown, and Pulp Fiction on blu-ray next week...all with release date delivery, no sales tax, and free shipping. Much better than buying anywhere else.

To be fair, Richard, the only way you're technically getting 4 PS3 games for $60 is if you get the Uncharted pack and the Resistance pack.
...then again, that's just semantics and I'm just arguing because I'm a baby who is ready to go home. Bottom line, sweet deal.

Except for the fact that if I put any of those "non-PS3" games in my PS2, they won't run. So yes, they're PS3 games now.

Amazon should be applying this to the people who just bought it on pre-order.
I mean, what the hell..this just came out and they discount the ICO two-pack right after release?

No, they didn't. I pre-ordered the ICO/SotC collection and we didn't get jack shit. Pretty bad considering how most every other place was giving it for $30 or some other credit.
Now they go and pull this crap, especially after I bought the Uncharted collection on the SAME DAY. Massive dick move from Amazon. As massive as the Colossi themselves.

Although I think Amazon is still king without question, I understand where you're coming from.
I got an email from them regarding Dark Souls - preorder nets you a $5 credit ONLY if you trade in a game before oct 3rd.

I wish the sale was on just 1 dual pack. I already own Uncharted 1&2 and have No interest in anything other then SotC/Ico from that list.

Damn you Amazon, I already have like 5 games on my back log that I know I won't have enough time to get through, and yet you are forcing this down my throat as well. Fine, you win, I'll get the GOW and Shadow/Ico packs.

Too bad Sly Cooper couldn't be part of this deal. That's the only other collection I'd get. Oh well. I did get Ico/Shadow of the Colossus and it's glorious so far.

You're right.... Amazon is so played out. Always copying other retailers... what's with these "sales"? Nothing but copycats. We need more originality... like buy 7 get 2 free. NOBODY is doing that. :|

How come no mention in the original post of the fact that Amazon is just simply matching Best Buy's existing offer of this exact deal that they have been running all week? I'm no BB fan, but give credit where it's due!

Have you played them all, or are they sitting in your backlog? If so, maybe this'll teach you how impulse purchases burn you.
I try telling myself that with 23 games in my backlog...

Lol. Out of those I only own the first uncharted, which I bought during last year's black friday sale. And I started playing it a couple of weeks ago...
I think impulse buys, when you're getting a great price, are like small investments. I know I won't be able to play all games I buy right away, that's why I almost never buy at launch.

@PolishMountainMan Ummmm, are you trolling? Amazon is still on top, no idea what you're talking about. They still have some of the best pre-order deals, sales (like this one) and prices. And yes, they still do 20 dollar store credit when pre-ordering new games, I just got 20 dollar credit for pre-ordering Gears 3.

actually newegg is the new king when it come to buying new games.
I preordered BF3, and U3 for $47 each. no tax and free shipping. and it's newegg, they are a quality company. They also had a sale for Batman for $47 and I think skyrim too.
kmart is getting pretty good too
I should know, I'm arguably the cheapest person here

I've played them all. I have a platinum on the Uncharted games and the GoW games (all 5), not the Resistance though, since the first one doesn't have and the second I gave up with the 10k kills online trophy. But, I do have the Platinum on Resistance 3.
I do have games on backlog like Bayonetta, 3d Dot game heroes, Castlevania and couple of move games.

I never understand all the love for Best Buy. Most of the time their prices are higher than all the other options, and any time they do some big promo you know Amazon will end up matching it. Amazon on the other hand is almost always below retail. With a Prime membership and an Amazon credit card I find myself doing most of my purchases online. Something about Best Buy just rubs me the wrong way. I think its how pushy the employees are.

Umm.. they just offered a $20 credit with pre-orders of Gears of War 3. So I'm not sure where you get the idea they have stopped offering those.

Not sure anyone will see this, but if you are a rewards member at Kmart you get a 15 dollar gaming coupon towards your next gaming purchase just for buying ICO/SOTC. Seems like a lot better deal to me.
