    They don't sell the PS2 HDD anymore, so... if you are getting it for friends and family who are just starting off in the world of Vana'diel there's 'officially' no way for you to get them that.
    I wouldn't say it's a sign of them dropping PS2 support any time soon, if ever.

    I'd be much more excited about this (as I actually would like the discs for my 360/pc) if my Gamestop actually carried either of these.

    I checked when I picked up Madworld yesterday and, of course, they had neither. :\

    Didn't say anything about the HDD. Just talking about the collection itself. Its available for PS2 also. So, how come it wasn't included in the sale/promotion? It works with the PS3 also, so the HDD issue shouldn't be a problem.

    Not all PS3s, though, no?

    Except that the newer model of PS3s don't even have PS2 software emulation.

    The MSG4 bundle models were the last model to carry any form of PS2 emulation.

    This is correct. Hopefully they release something to allow PS2 emulation for the newer PS3s, although I doubt it. They want people to buy both consoles.

    the new ones stopped PS2 emulation entirely?
    wow that sucks. good thing mine is an original 60GB set. I doubt they'd discontinue support for PS2, but they probably won't be promoting the game on the platform anymore.. so as to slowly but surely cut down the population of the game who play on the PS2...
    future physical disc expansions should still be supported on PS2 tho.

    promoting the collection on ps2 would only be akin to trying to introduce more players who work with the ps2 base, and i guess they're trying to discourage that.
    Or it could be that gamestop just doesn't want to have to waste extra shelf space on PS2 games, since this is an exclusive GameStop tie in only..

    We've gotten 2 updates a week so far and there's still a month or so to the patch.

    Just like TAU on PS2, Gamestop didn't place addition orders for the PS2 Vana 08 sku after the intial shipment came from the distro center. I guess the company didn't want to get stuck with tons of copies of them like what happened when CoP came out(it was clearly over ordered).

    It makes sense as to why they no longer stock it from a business standpoint because the original model PS2 is dead and buried and the early model PS3s are super hard to get a hold of so there is nearly no demand for it but it bums me out as a player that it isn't stocked anymore. Hell, the PC and 360 Vana 08 collections usually collect dust on the shelves too which makes me a sad panda.

    Interesting. As a side note, my Gamestop still has the $1.99 trial discs for FFXI.. which tells you exactly how many people play here.
    THIS! The store I got moved to hasn't sold a single one out of the pack and SE sent them out YEARS ago. *grumbles about being surrounded by WoW players on a daily basis*

    You're clearly sleeping through the past 2 updates that gave info on it.

    Either way, good thing I got an early PS3 if I ever want the PS2 version for whatever reason <.<

    If you guys didn't know, that disk has all the expansions except WotG on it. So if you need a disk to replace a scratched one, just spend the $2 on it

    (it doesn't have reg codes for the expansions, but the data is on the disk)

    Which is hilarious since the $14.99 price is only $5.00 off what it should be selling for

    You got lucky then. I'd kill for the hardware emulation.

    Not to mention you can just torrent the the game if you already have an account/Regis codes.

    EDIT: But I suppose a scratched disc could mean he owns a 360. :O

    Wouldn't the free trial kind of undercut the market for them now?
