Following Sony's recent decsion to create a line of Greatest Hits titles for the PlayStation 3 in Japan, the electronics giant has been quoted as saying that will most "likely" do the same for the European market.

In the past, Sony has re-released hit tiles under its Platinum or Greatest Hits line which gives the games a new lease on life at a very discounted price.

"We have introduced a Platinum range of best-selling titles for all of our platforms to date, and it is likely that we will do so in the future for PS3," said a spokesperson for the company.

"However, no decisions have yet been made on timing or line-up."

The first Platinum title that Japan will see is the blockbuster game "Resistance: Fall of Man".

So far, a Sony America spokesperson has said they had not come to decision on when the Greatest Hits line would hit North America.

News means new with an s on the end making it plural... If old is better than new then why don't people make something called "Olds"? I can't imagine someone going to the news stand and buying an Oldspaper... ;-)

Better than the disc eating easy break oven with half baked games stolen from PC development for quick cash. *rolls eyes*

If the PS3 didn't outsell the the 360 in europe by now I would still be writing it off but hell in 2 years it will crush the 360 as the main console devs look to to push software on, this is mainly due tot he 360s antquited design.

Also the PS3 is finally getting a huge BWC update all 40GB units up to 90%+ backwards compabile still a "rumor" but so was half of the 360s console "updates".

The PS3 is shaping up and the 360 can not keep up, altho I'll say this if MS puts in a BR drive(withthe intent to let devs make BR games in time) and unlocks the HDD on th 360 I'll be happy to plug 500$ into a new console, already wasted 250$ on a 360 and all it did was break down between shipping cost (would not pay for shipping twice) and lost money on resale, nothing but a waste of money,all the good games are multi console or on the PC and no halo ep 3 is not a good game.
there is only 1 game that makes me want a 360 and thats lost oddessy and even still its not wroth putting up with the craptacauler line up of uderdeved "pretty" games and bad hardware.

Frankly the PS3 currently is not much better bad coding costly games that are barely worth half retail price, hell even the WII is over priced and in a rut of party games.

Uhg the 7th generation news and brand movements are more interesting than the products being sold... mass market gameing blows.

Seems this thread is turning into nothing but fanboy style posts (directed towards gmontalc). Keep it up you will have a couple days off if you cannot hold a basic proper conversation. As far as which titles will be getting the Greatest Hits (US) or Platinum Hits (EU) treatment are these

MotorStorm
Resistance: Fall of Man
Uncharted: Drake's Fortune
Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction
Heavenly Sword

There are quite a few others can make it in as their sales performance are perfectly in line with the requirements needed to be labeled GH/PH. People can sit here and say PS3 titles don't sell, but the truth is quite contrary to what some speculate/believe. The first 4 out of the 5 I own/have played and are VERY well deserved of being in that category, though I personally don't like Heavenly Sword style gameplay it is a great title for those who like the genre (God Of War, DMC etc).

If this thread degenerates any further it will be closed for said reasons given earlier and because it is outdated news though there has been new correspondence to the topic...

My apologies if I was instigating anything,merely making the point there are gaping holes in all the consoles despite them all doing quite well.

Sorry buddy to dissapoint you, I am NOT a fan-boy of any console and very least of the Xbox 360, so don't compare because I do not have any intention to purchase one, but yet I do own two(2) PlayStation 3, One(1) PSP, Sony Ericsson's Multimedia Cell Phone, Sony "60 HDTV, Sony Entertainment Home Theater, Sony LocationFree... well I want the best, I think I bought the best and I have the right to demand the best.

And, for the titles mention above the only one worth to purchase is "Resistance: Fall of Man", yet it did not reach to be a "hit", much better game is "Call Of Duty 4", and also did not reach the market value to level or surpass "Halo" series.

touchae

but there again you are picking on a naming shceme to designate discounted new titles, it dose not have to be a hit to have a GH label..

I still can't see why Halo 3 sold so well tis the worst of the lot and at 60$ for Halo ep 3 it just shows how well mass marketing and name branding works, Bioshock is another highly over rated title, sadly MP3 on the WII is not much better, I hate it whe they water down and "redirect" qauilty for the masses....

Zippy you are fine, having a discussion with a clear and obvious point is one thing but to just say "And still... SONY Entertainment, SUCKS!" is absolutely without a doubt fodder and blatantly "fanboy" in nature...even if he states he owns the system.

Firstly, watch who you are speaking to in that manner. You have already been warned for your inappropriate comments that clearly violate forum rules by their nature. But back on topic, just because you think certain titles weren't hits does not make it so*. This is not a comparative sales "race" of games over multiple consoles, Sony has a guideline for what becomes a GH/PH and those titles have met that requirement* (as quite a few other have too & hopefully more will be available)....why do I always have to repeat myself? I guess society's reading comprehension has dropped dramatically over the years.

If you feel personally offended, just because the way I think about Sony Computer Entertainment... That's too bad!, fortuneatly I can expressed mine opinions.

I do not care if you own the entire AfterDawn.com, my opinions are solely mine, if you don't agree with, then discuss with me about it, instead of assuming to an intimidation.

Reading comprehension works wonders....I will make it perfectly clear for you to understand seeing you like to put words into peoples mouths and make assumptions - keep up with the bad attitude and inappropriate posts of which BOTH violate forum rules if you want (this is about YOU following aD's rules and not about Sony). But understand that since warnings (this is the 3rd) don't seem to do you any good, I wonder if a couple days off would?
