    Kotaku reported that the games will be released in Japan on September 22, 2011 for 3,980 yen ($49) each or  6,890 yen ($87) for both.
    Anyone know much about how these prices are typically adjusted for North American releases? Or are they going to be 49 bucks a pop ($87 for both) over here as well?
     
    (...and will it be 87 pounds in Europe? Dag.)

    I hope that if the North American versions come out, that SCEA uses   

       the japanese cover arts instead of the old ugly ones.

    I'm sure they will be bundled in the West as they simply can't get away releasing them separately here.
     
    Peace Walker HD is getting released separately in Japan as well. I believe it's the best-selling game in the series over there so it wouldn't make sense to bundle it that soon after its original release.

    $50 each?  Fuck that.  $60 for both and I'm sold.   
     
    @Ocean_H: I agree.  That cover art is leagues better than what we got.

    Yeah that what I've heard most people saying, but do you think they'll release the bundle over here at anything near $90 dollars?
     
    I've been anxiously awaiting this thing since it was announced (and well before that even), but as someone who has already played the bulk of both games and really only has strong nostalgia for the SotC half of the package I can't see me paying anything near 90 bucks for it.

    If you don't think I'd spend 100 bucks for Shadow of the Colossus and ICO at 1080p and 60 fps, you are fucking crazy. All they have to do is name their price.

    Japanese retail prices always get adjusted downwards. 
     
    For instance, have a look at Dark Souls on Amazon.co.jp: 6163 JPY, and that's after the 21% discount Amazon.co.jp gives (suggested retail price: 7800 JPY). So, yeah. The ICO / SotC collection is kind of cheap in comparison.

    PS Blog says it'll be $39.99 retail in the US. For both of them together.
     
    The European edition, while no price has been named, will have a reversible sleeve featuring the original PS2 PAL art box on each side.

    I'm really interested in this package. I didn't have a PS2 and these games look like something I'd really enjoy.
