Just posting this because I want to make you aware this just came out today (and also because it $1 off so technically it's a deal.)

Good find! Tempting, as I hear these are great remakes.

Yeah 2 great games in that collection.

The porting is flawless. This HD Collection is totally a must have. I've got the 360 version, but I've heard PS3 players echo the same sentiment. Totally worth the price.

why does the ps3 version's box art look like ass?

Capcom NA was super lazy and copied the cover of the European "Classics HD" branding.

Getting this today. Love DMC and the port looks fine. Aside from 4:3 menus and few prerendered cutscenes that didnt get a touch up. o well wat r u gunna do? Gameplay is where its at!

4-5% off, basically the quick picks discount which isn't bad if you want it right now. I haven't touched my MGS or Sly Collections yet so I'll wait but thanks for tempting me again.

Officially yes but street date was broke last week by many retailers.

It was released early by a few retailers, like Gamestop.

The PS3 version is apparently worse than the 360 version, oddly. That's based on user reviews I've seen, so take it with a good-sized grain of salt. I have no preference for either console, except that I do prefer the PS3 controller. I try to study up on which platform is the optimal console platform for any given game. Bayonetta was definitely better on the 360, Spider-man 3 was definitely better on the PS3.

I'm probably gonna wait until I can get this for $30 or less.

The only issue I've ever seen from reading numerous reviews are issues with old CRTs... one person complained about the audio desyncing. Otherwise, both the PS3 and 360 ports are pretty much perfect.

I had to review the ps3 version and the graphical issues killed it for me. Most of the cutscenes/menus are in 4:3, quite a few textures in dmc1 look like ass, the letterbox formatting in Lucia may cry doesn't even cover the whole bottom of the screen, etc. Also, the game just doesn't look right converted to 16:9 since all of the characters get that taller/slimmer effect going on.

It's my least favorite of the hd collections out so far because of the rush job, but at least the game still plays damn good

Those aren't graphical glitches or bugs. DMC1 textures look like ass? How many of these HD collections redo the texture work? The answer is none. DMC1 came out in 2001... the fact that it looks good at all is a testament to how classic the game is. I can't speak for DMC2, but quite frankly, you should not be evaluating the merits of this collection based on that game. It was essentially included as a "freebie." I mean, it should be taken into account for a final review, but ultimately I don't think it should influence anybody.

The 4:3 menus, I can understand, but... they're just menus. I mean, really. And the majority of cutscenes are in-game, and 16:9, not 4:3. The pre-rendered cutscenes are unfortunately 4:3, but that simply can't be changed without completely remaking the FMVs, which is impractical.

Also, you are aware that they didn't stretch the image to 16:9, they actually expanded the view to widescreen, right? There is no taller/slimmer effect in either DMC1 or DMC3 (again, can't speak on DMC2, but I'd wager the same thing in that one). I don't mean to be rude, but if you were reviewing the HD collection for a site, I hope that you would acknowledge these differences from actual glitches... and in the case of ratio, you're flat out wrong.

If this is your least favorite collection, then you clearly didn't play the Silent Hill Collection, or the RE4 HD release.

The cover that was released when rumors first started popping up looked so much better than what they came up with
