The cardboard case and postcards are enough for me to buy this again

I got lucky with getting stickers on my cd the other day, although it's probably always like that.
This does sweeten the deal, hopefully it's capped off with a mid $70's price.

Sweet! I wasn't considering also buying the PAL version but now it seems a little too good to pass up! I am dreading the OFLC label though.

i'm assuming it's a legitimate shot of the box, i got it from the SotC Minisite of au.playstation.com.
that makes me a sad panda.

^That is just ugly. The boxart is of godly proportions, but that OFLC label kills it.

^^ Shite.
Edit: One word isn't enough for a post.
OK, so I'm thinking print out the NTSC cover on a good colour copier...
...and now I'm thinking that won't work if this is in a box.
OK, how about importing the UK version? Yes. This could work.

i enjoy the politics involved with the approval of anything in australia. the passing of bills. the building regulations. the gaming requirements.
support OFLC, demand bigger stickers!

I tried to pre-order Ico the other week and couldn't at EB. But while they had the screen up SoC was priced @ $99.95. Hope its not the final price.

I have decided to get the Australian version for now with the hope that the OFLC thing will be just a sticker rather than being printed on the cover. If it turns out to be printed then I will probably buy another copy of it, importing this time. Stupid, perhaps but I seriously cannot resist this game any longer. I was planning on waiting until I had my TV before getting this, but you know what? Screw it, my most anticipated game ever must be purchased at launch. Infact, I'm ordering it now.

Can someone just answer a few things for me?
I never played ICO and I hear ICO was rated highly by most. Is this expected to be as good?
Also is this somethong to buy and hang onto?
Will this be a limited release?
Also, when does it come out?
Thanks

Note to self, import Euro version ASAP.
As for the length of the game, you can replay the game to unlock new items and the game world is HUGE, really really HUGE. It's the arena that you're given to fight those giants, so it has to be.
It would take you a very very long time to fully explore the entire map. Why would you want to explore it? Well for one thing, it's stunning to look at. Secondly, you can increase your stats by finding certain things that are hidden away in the world, but that's for you to find out. It's hard to comprehend just how massive (and varied in terms of terrain) the game world is, you've just got to see it for yourself. So any worries of the game not lasting shouldn't be a problem.

My thoughts exactly.
Hot diggity damn that is hot. Gorgeous. Beautiful. Whatever, it's just damn cool. Where would be the best place to import the European version of the game? I wants me that.

Gameplay.co.uk, who state they're getting the cardboard version, ship to Australia/New Zealand but cdwow.com would be cheaper and probably a bit quicker. All versions are the cardboard one as far as I know so I don't think you need to worry about getting sent a normal DVD case version.
