HD Remakes and Bluray Releases

One of the greatest eras of home video was the early 2000's.

Go look at the special editions from back then. They are full of incredible artwork, incredible packaging, and some truly rare things. For example, The Dark Crystal has to be one of the greatest if not THE greatest special edition ever. You get a part of the original copy. You get a true replica of the notepad that Henson and his daughter used to make the story while stuck in an airport during a blizzard.

Unfortunately my head was in a bad place back then, and there were many movies I did not get that had great collector's editions. I am hoping that with Bluray I get another chance to having some of these neat things.

The same goes for HD remakes on the PS3. There are series that at the time I just did not want to have or did not get around to it. At the time I was scrounging up my large collections of late 90's PS1 RPG's. Then I got into NIS RPG's in the late 2000's. I had always intended to get Sly Cooper's trilogy, and Splinter Cell was always on my radar. I can't wait to get these and play them. Now we're getting PSP games remade.

I have no place for portable gaming. It is simply not a part of my life and I do not see it ever happening. So the fact that Sony is releasing some of the PSP games in HD remakes is very exciting for me. I am looking forward mainly to the God of War games. I'm already getting God of War 1 and 2 on the PS3, now I hope to get the others from the PSP too.

I think its a great move and a genius way to cash in on work that was already completed. I don't see it as a cop out, I was always a fan of GBA ports of old SNES games. This is just as great.

Now if we can get a PS2 emulator on the PS3 I'll be happy.
