Two More Added To PS3 Greatest Hits Line

22
Kotaku:

Times are tough, and money is tight. Who has $50-60 to spend on new games? Not as many people as there used to be, that's for sure. Now $30, that's more like it.

Which brings us to the two latest titles in Sony's Greatest Hits range for the PS3, Saints Row 2 and WWE Smackdown vs Raw 2009. Both have just turned up on GameStop's site, and while a listing like that would normally only be good for a "rumour" post, both also have Great Hits box art, so these are a lock.

I can't see how Saints Row or Smackdown are GREATEST HITS...but hey! if that means more games cheaper it's ok.

Saints Row is a lil surprising to me. However, Smackdown-vs-Raw, I can totally see that. It's just the million mark that a game has to pass for Greatest Hits right? In that case, I definitely can see it. As much as wrestling is looked down upon, you (if you're an 'outsider') would probably be surprised at how popular it is. And there are lots of fans that buy the game each year. Being a wrestling fan myself, I can attest, there are huge numbers of people that follow the stuff. Not surprising at all.

Saints Row 2 is actually a kickass game. Did you play it? I actually had more fun playing that game from beginning to end online in co-op with my friend then I did the entire GTAIV experience.

I find something fishy about these greatest hits requirements though. I mean, freaking Uncharted STILL has not been able to get that status and still priced at $59.99 here in the US but games like WWE and Saints Row 2 manage to do it in half the time? A PlayStation 3 game must be on the market for 10 months and sell at least 500,000 copies to meet the Greatest Hits criteria. Mean to tell me Uncharted hasnt sold 500k yet in the US? Heavenly Sword as well.

1.4 - Where the F is Heavenly Sword?
Game did over one million. And it's one of the best games this gen.

As unfair as the review scores.

I really doubt that sell enough is the only criteria. Probably it should meet a minimum amount of copies sold but additionally Sony (or the Publisher for that matter) feels that game could get a bump in sales becoming Greatest Hit. I guess UC2 is still selling good enough in NA, so it doesnt require th greatest hit treatment.

1.7 - Seems we europeans get the better Platinum deals LOL
Heavenly Sword, Ratchet and Clank: Tools of Destruction, and Uncharted are all Platinum here...

Edit: I see Ratchet and Clank are also part of the Greatest hits line now, but it took a while longer than here. And where can I find a complete list of the Greatest Hits, it shouldn't be this hard to find...

2 - I picked up SR2
a couple of months ago from Target for $29.99. It's a fun game for 30 bucks. I enjoyed it more than GTA IV.

It is in Europe (where it's called Platinum) and it has been for quite a while. I don't remember when, but at least since October 2008.

4.2 - Pobably sold better here in Europe...
And SR2 is fun, for a while anyway, until you get bored with the weak graphics and hopeless car handling. Oh and lame enemy AI. I didn't like it online, but I mostly play FPSs online so...
