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.

Good idea release all of last year good games for all the new users the slim has created.

[DrWan]

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.

[PLAYINB3YOND]

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 :)

Killzone 2 only sold 50,000 copies..

[wxer]

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.

....

[FamilyGuy]

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.

i well get MotorStorm Pacific Rift
but i really hate the Platinum cover , cant they use a better looking covers ewwwe .

[Karum]

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.

[Gambit07]

Very underrated.

[DK_Kithuni_71]

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

[KruLLit]

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

[sniper-squeak]

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?

[Tee7soo]

ehh , no sir i don't play rwith the cover
but i like the original cover moe , its not something that going
to not make me buy the game , i just hope they change the way it looks .

[topdawg122]

good strategy by sony, many new owners out there that will buy these

[wxer]

this is a great move by Sony

the kings of the industry

[ukilnme]

I applaud this move so much that I will wait for all PS3 titles to hit bargain bins/rates before I buy them.

[FlipMode]

@above

lol wow that was a dumb comment.

[kissmeimgreek]

wow already with killzone 2? im surprised. all of these new platinum hits are probably because of the new audience from the slim. im erally surprised that the finally added MGS4

[cmrbe]

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!.

[foxtheory]

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)!!

[JonnyBigBoss]

I still need to play Resistance 2...

[poopsack]

man R2 just feels great, im talking about the singleplayer here, when ur put between human vs chimera firefights, just awesome.

[jack who]

lol wow sony what happen too when games have too make a milion before been a platinum hit?

[cyborg6971]

I can give u a million reasons your a douche jack

[jack who]

yes i am
