Yeah, and it was a surprisingly smart decision from Sega to dump 3D AGES, but there's still absolutely no excuse to not have the originals in there. Wasn't Sega Rally only released in a bundle with the crappy Sega Rally 2006, not separately? And by Virtua Cop, you mean the remake, right? That was probably because they hadn't started the PS2 Ages line yet.
Yeah. Sega Rally was packed in with 2006, but let's not forget the 10th Anniversary Edition of Virtua Fighter (which I'm not entirely sure about how was handed out... PAL version seems to only be available in Promo copies, at least.)
Virtua Cop's exclusion from the AGES 2500 range seems kind of obvious now I think about it (duh)! Also, how did I end up forgetting Virtua Fighter 10th Anniversary? I can still remember my failed attempts to blag a promo copy of this a few years back, though at least I managed to get a Killzone preview disc instead so it wasn't exactly a bad day overall...
