WE have already told you that ICO is one of our favorite games from the previous generation. Lately WE showed you the digipak release, now it’s time to take a closer look at the Press Kit.
This media kit comes in a medium-sized cardboard box, which looks like a brick wall. On both sides you can discover in-game screenshots; the top is decorated with the official game logo. After removing the lid you can take a closer look at the contents. Inside there is a paper case with 2 discs and a custom-made candle.
There are not much extras in the box, but WE are really amazed by the quality and the rarity this release represents.

OMFG, meghaltam.
We collectors go nuts over this sort of thing…but in 20 years I’m wondering how many of these candles will have met their doom in hot storage…
A different Ico press kit (it came with a metal cage) recently sold on eBay. Here’s the auction: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&_trksid=p4340.l2557&rt=nc&nma=true&item=190517014214&si=U9o3peekyp1nwYGoRgcUdrbG3MY%253D&viewitem=&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWAX%3AIT
It’s the first I’ve seen of it and I can’t find any other information about it online. So is the one with the cage real?
