PlayStation 3 Platinum Range Expands

Jem Alexander of the EU Playstation Blog writes: On September 2nd the PlayStation 3 Platinum range received a handful of new titles. These popular games require no introduction and may well be of interest to any recent purchasers of the new PS3 model.

All these games have reached sales of over 400,000 and so to celebrate we are offering consumers a chance to add these unmissable titles to their collection for an unbeatable price – £19.99 / €29.99.
Updates:
The price that comes after £19.99 should read as 29.99 in Euros, I guess this site didn't recognise the Euro currency symbol with the copy and paste.

1.1 - Killzone is this year
I am surprised they are doing this so quick, but they were quick with Uncharted and we have only just gotten it. So dont expect USA to follow suit.

Platinum games are a great deal, especially for all the new ps3 owners we are now seeing we should expect nearly every good PS3 game to hit platinum :)

killzone2 sold 2 millions in 6 mouthes

the idea of Platinum is
after the game sales 1 million
and after they get their money back and make some profit
its okay to cut the price

great move

Actually wxer I think the requirement for Platinum is that it sells 500k rather than 1 million, I'm certain I read that somewhere in the past but could be wrong.

1.7 - 400K?
That doesn't sound right, where Naruto:Ultimate Ninja:Storm at then? It's been out for a long time now and I read it was at something like 700K sales. Maybe 1 Million is the real marker.

Pacific Rift is great fun and the 2 expansion packs they have released so far add a ton of sweet extra content. Definitely one of my favourite racing games to relax with.

Do you play the cover? Black or grey? Who the hell cares? The content of the Blu-ray disc is what matters.

I hate those covers as well. A sticker should be enough.

2.5 - I hate the covers too...
I'm a game collector and it kinda ruins my collection lol, so that's why I stick to first day buy's now.

I did get my first PS3 kinda late (only a month ago) but the platinum covers look like they take less money to produce... maybe that's what add's to the lower price of platinum games?

5 - Man it must be heaven for new PS3 owners
Not only the slim is out at 1/2 the original price of the PS3. PSN and PS3 firmware is miles better than when it was launched. They get to out now and buy all these excellent games that we waited years to come out at a fraction of the cost we paid. I love my launch 60 gig fatty though. I will never trade here for a slim....never!.

lol!! It looks like they covered the covers in that "caution police line" tape!! xD

But seriously, these are all amazing games. The covers shouldn't turn people away, these games are great. Especially MGS4, which at a deal like this an unbelievable offer (same with KZ2, which I'm surprised went platinum this soon)!!

8.1 - Have you read the novel that bridges Resistance 1 & 2
I need to know more!

I'm just getting into Resistance 2 now and thus far i'm not liking how it's holding my hand through it and telling me which weapons to use [I liked the wheel from the first game]... and on the mission to rescue to Doctor seeing him stand in front of a firefight with the Chimera and take a universe of damage was a bit pap.

A lot prettier though.

Although I think my perspective on being hard on the sequel stems massively from just how stunning the London level of R1 was. Loved it.

Did anyone else notice that according to the moderator on that particular news thread, Sony is commenting on the 3.0 fiasco Tomorrrow???

I wouldn't call it a fiasco. I had a few complains but I got used to them. The only thing was no animated themes on the EU store.

10 - For those disliking the Platinum covers...
Surely the drop in price should also mean those copies on Ebay should go for a similar price.

I picked up the original version of resistance 2, still sealed for less than the platinum rrp and only a couple of quid more than the online price.

Not even eBay, most stores will shift their current style versions at the new price.

Most shops will drop the price but online retailers have the full prices version beside the Platinum version at its lower price.
