For what it's worth, the DS version is enhanced, and is cheap now as well (currently $13.05 on Amazon). So if you've got a DS, you're really better off just going with that.

And yeah, I was simplifying, but it's the 240p signal that's the issue. Apparently it never occurred to early PS2 developers that coding to output a non-standard signal would be an issue. I actually didn't know that Ico was one of those games as well -- glad to know that before dropping the cash on it. Now I hope even more that they put out a PS3 "remastered" version.
