First and foremost, welcome back Gamoc. I, like many others I'm sure, look forward to the impending tsunami of posts that will ensue when your laptop is returned to you, fit and healthy.

Now, to business. Two days ago we reported that PS2 titles God of War I & II would be making their way to the PS3 in blu-ray format - complete with trophy support and refined 720p visuals, and repackaged as a God of War Collection, no doubt.

Sadly, we have disappointing news for EU residents. SCEE has explained to VG247 that the God of War remakes won’t reach European territories until next year at the earliest:

'We are currently looking into options to bring God of War I and II to SCEE consumers on PS3; however it will not be possible to release the games this calendar year. We will provide further information in due course.'

However, referring directly to the VG247 article, Sony Santa Monica plans to release the collection in the US prior to Christmas. Should the end product be region-free, the impatient ones among you might want to think about orchestrating a sneaky import...

Just a suggestion.
