I wonder if game developers are using this as a ploy to advertise their releases further. Just my two cents.

Honestly strange that the game would be allowed to run on older firmware. Yes, it may have been finished already, but how many months have newer firmware versions been available? It probably would've taken a few hours to update the code base to use a new firmware at worst; a few minutes at best.

I'm under the impression they just don't give a **** because the amount of jail broken users is diminishing, and they've made the decision to sell during the fall seasonal rush anyway. Their sales will still be decent to pretty good.

Nah, I will buy these masterpieces eventough I have the PS2 versions of them. These are one of the only few games I consider art.

In before 10 page debate about how combining 10 different forms of art gives you a result that is in no way, shape, or form art.

Art: The expression or application of human creative skill and imagination.

Does this not describe these games?

It also describes call of duty.

In case you haven't been informed video games are officially art.

I fail at seeing where the creativity and imagination is in CoD though :P

Then you are blind. Getting an idea for something and then creating it counts as both, regardless of what the game/song/painting/book/etc/etc actually is, or how good they are. Not to mention video games are made up from all kinds of different arts (story telling, music, design, drawing, acting, need i go on?).

You can argue that CoD is a shitty piece of art, and i would agree with you, but to say it's not art at all, makes you a liar.

That is awesome news. I was already planning to buy a second PS3 with actual firmware just to be able to play ICO/SoC. Now this can wait until Last Guardian

I don't hate CoD, I just find it really boring and bland.
