White Knight Chronicles "awakening soon"
Dead Space arriving in Europe earlier than expected
Max Payne theatrical trailer releasedA Japanese online retailer has posted the first "PlayStation 3 the Best" titles on their website. "PlayStation the Best" titles are also known as 'Platinum titles' in Europe and 'Greatest Hits' in the US. All games selling above a certain number, and being in stores for over a set number of months can make it to the list.
PlayStation the Best are budget titles, and usually sell for about $20 (on the PS2) in North America. The same goes for Europe, but with a Euro sign before the figure.
The Japanese retailers have listed the following budget titles:
- Resistance: Fall of Man
- Folklore
- Ninja Gaiden Sigma
- Gundam: Target in Sight
- Ridge Racer 7
All of the five titles above will retail for 3,800 yen, which is about $35. They will all arrive on March 19th.
An official announcement by Sony Computer Entertainment Japan is yet to be released, but you can expect it to be soon. For all Americans and Europeans, we might have to wait a while longer for these low-priced titles.

if i was a chick id so get a dildo boner right now
So this would be the greatest hits? Im sure we will see different ones in the North America, including Uncharted, which at $25-$35 is a must buy.
@ Deldwen.
WTF?!
@ xbsgeorge
Uncharted wont be on US one. It just came out like2-3 months ago and its selling ok still.
Im guessing for America something like Resistance, Ninja Gaiden, Motorstorm, Ridge Racer 7 and maybe something like full auto.
Great news! Gotta love good games cheap! (But I already have most)
One more little thing that should help ps3 sales slightly more...all the little things add up....now people can't say that to get a good game cost $60.00. They'll soon be running out of valid excuses.
Well the reason why Resistance was sold at a high price tag for almost a year was because the PS3 didn't have any epic games for almost a year and Resistance was selling well so why would Insomniac lower the price when it is selling so well at such a high pricetag? As for Uncharted and Ratchet I think we might see a price drop earlier than later becuse of all the epic games coming out this year if Naughty Dog and Insomniac want their games to sell they need to lower the price tag.
May be those rumors i read on the forums held some truth after all.
was thinking about this a couple of weeks ago..might finally pick up resistance !!
I would love to see this come over to the US. It would help generate more sales for Ninja Gaiden Sigma hopefully. That game is just to good to pass up.
psn id: gingo.... love these platinum games that u can pick up cheap for the titles ur not sure about getting at full price
Platinum! YES! :D
@Deldwen: That made me laugh so hard.

Looks like I have a list of titles to pick up before they become Greatest Hits. I don't know about you guys but I hated owning GH titles, I liked the original versions.
Yahoo!! I hope Platinum games arives fast to Europe. I would buy Resistance and Folklore for sure...
ERGENT HELP NEEDED !!! Hay do any of you know how to uninstall YDL off of PS3, my god that thing is naff !!! - If you're thinking off installing LINUX on your PS3 DON'T DO IT !!! it's UTTER CRAPNESS !!!
oh yah when you purchase games and the like off playstation store, do you get to install the software as many times as you like (like a license) or do you have to pay again if you want to download it?
I have linux on my PS3 and i'm seriously thinking oh reformatting the whole thing but I don't want to purchase the same games I downloaded off Playstation store! - has anyone ever done this before ?
Well I have yet to get sigma or r:fom so this helps me out in a way.
Good. I thought there would be more than that though. I expected Motorstorm to be one of the first titles that went platinum, seeing as almost everyone that bought a console between Novemeber 2006, and september 2007 bought Motorstorm.
Good to see that these are starting to be released, at least over in Japan. Hopefully it wont be long before they make it over here in Europe, so that people wh missed out on these titles first time around (or didnt feel they were worth the money) can buy them for cheap.
Looking forward to the Western platinum range lol
XenoSilvano.. try asking your question in an actual FORUM, not in the comments area of a news article!
@ meatee
who cares?
Its about time we start seeing some ps3 games go platinum. Looking at the titles listed above, I'm sure we'll see different titles for different countries. They must be whats popular in Japan. We should at least see MotorStorm go platinum.
I'll pick up Sigma
tbh, id really like to see a reduction on folklore in the UK as i really want the game but atm all my money isnt going into the torrent of debt thats been made by purchasing my new car lol.
This is great news for all those people who will be buying their first PS3 soon, or people like me who still need to buy Folklore.
lol Deldwen, I'd give you rep for that if I could... that is the funniest thing I have read in February!
Why isn't motorstorm on that list? I thought that game would be on the lists for sure.
@Deldwen: LOL!! that made no sence..but it was funny.. and random *me love random* ^_^
what about fight night and F1
maybe because figt night and f1 didn't sell to well, to go platinium the game has to have sold over a certain number, over 1million if i'm not mistaken and plus the game has to be on the market for more than a year
Thats kewl, 's about time too. There should be some kewler titles in there tho. RR7 sucks and gundam anything isn't worth 3cents.
