Uncharted, SOCOM Confrontation going Greatest Hits on August 16

by Griffin McElroy { Aug 13th 2009 at 4:53PM }

According to a recent Sony press release, two more best-selling PS3 titles are getting the ol' "Red Box" treatment. Beginning Sunday, August 16, Uncharted: Drake's Fortune and SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Confrontation (sans headset) will reach "Greatest Hits" status, dropping their respective MSRPs down to a reasonable $29.99.

Fans of the SOCOM series will likely be thrilled about Confrontation's markdown -- but every self-respecting PS3 owner needs to have Uncharted in their collection. Now that you can make that happen with just a Hamilton and a Jackson, you've really got no reason to go without.

I just bought Uncharted from ebay 3 days ago for $40, I'm pissed.

Heavytoka @ Aug 13th 2009 4:59PM

Why are you pissed? Yeah you could of saved ten bucks, but Uncharted it totally worth it!

knuckles_006 @ Aug 13th 2009 5:05PM

It's shipping from Hong Kong, and if they had announced it with the last two Greatest Hits, I could've got it locally and saved some money.

Heavytoka @ Aug 13th 2009 5:08PM

Damn, that must be a lot in shipping

Crazy-008 @ Aug 13th 2009 5:09PM

Knuckles you rawk!

knuckles_006 @ Aug 13th 2009 5:13PM

@Heavy actually that includes shipping. So it's not too bad, I'm just mad cause after the last two Greatest Hits were announced I wasn't expecting anymore for months. But I also found Red Alert 3 from the same seller for $35 too.

bluetev @ Aug 13th 2009 5:20PM

You should be pissed that you missed out on probably the best gaming experience in this gen for so many months

golobulus @ Aug 13th 2009 7:38PM

shouldn't take you 2 years to get that shit anyway. it was a "day one" as you losers like to say. how long will it be before you get uncharted 2? 4 years?

Quinton @ Aug 13th 2009 8:16PM

@globulus It's called having a life with responisibilities. After gas, food, bills and rent, $60 suddenly seems like a lot. We cant all mooch off our mommies forever. ;)

sk8monroe81 (PSN--XBL) @ Aug 13th 2009 8:39PM

blue-
you feel the 8 hours of the uncharted campaign were the greatest moments in gaming history this generation so far?

have u played mass effect, fallout 3, MGS4, etc this gen yet ?

for so many of US, well me, spending $ 60 on a single player 8 hour campaign was not worth the money.

but $ 60 to play fallout 3 for 100+ hours or mass effect for 40 hours or COD campaign + online for 20 hours seem much more worthwhile to me.

however for half the price, the offer sounds much more inviting.

remember only about 1/10th of the ps3 population has already purchased the game.

sk8monroe81 (PSN--XBL) @ Aug 13th 2009 8:44PM

now uncharted 2, with a campaign and online play is going to offer us a much more worthwhile experience for $ 60.00

Khaled @ Aug 13th 2009 4:57PM

Maybe I'll get Uncharted now.

jmc0b @ Aug 13th 2009 4:58PM

ive been waiting for uncharted to drop since 2 was announced, will pick it up next week.

SpyderTaco (PSN: Ar4chNova89) @ Aug 13th 2009 4:59PM

Why must I already own both?
WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Wait a minute. I paid $19.99 for SOCOM: Confrontation two months ago. It wasn't even used, that was the retail price at GameStop.

aero @ Aug 13th 2009 5:04PM

I guess you lucked out before Gamestop marks it back up.

Joel @ Aug 13th 2009 5:01PM

does "sans headset" mean that its included or not?

Heavytoka @ Aug 13th 2009 5:02PM

Sans means without

Kyle @ Aug 13th 2009 5:59PM

I hope they drop the online price then too, I'll just share it with 5 of my friends...

ncfootball @ Aug 13th 2009 5:03PM

Finally! Uncharted is a Greatest Hits Title. I've been waiting for this for months

morningdrive @ Aug 13th 2009 5:02PM

i was going to pick up Uncharted last week. Good thing I waited. Now I don't have to buy it used and can support the Devs

Longhorn (August 18: D-Day) @ Aug 13th 2009 5:03PM

Finally, but TOO late

sting @ Aug 13th 2009 6:36PM

Yeah. Pretty much everyone owns it already :P

sk8monroe81 (PSN--XBL) @ Aug 13th 2009 8:31PM

less than 1 million people owning socom and more than 1 million people owning uncharted out of 20+ million ps3 owners is hardly close to everyone already having the game...

truth is most people do not and a few do.

Fane @ Aug 14th 2009 8:09PM

2.5 million units for Uncharted, but your point is still vaild.

Dreadhead541 @ Aug 13th 2009 5:06PM

heavenly sword please?

mightymightyme @ Aug 13th 2009 6:25PM

No Kidding!

spikeylee @ Aug 13th 2009 5:07PM

it's about freaking time that Uncharted went Greatest Hits!!

we all knew it would happen eventually, it was just a matter of when. so glad that it's coming sooner rather than later.

JimmyHACK @ Aug 13th 2009 5:13PM

Go Drake, Go Elena...

Socom??? I think they mean the Headset.

j.howlett @ Aug 13th 2009 5:14PM

i still need the official headset, was going to order socom this week just for it too. i guess i'll wait a bit longer to see if ten bucks or so is knocked off. already had uncharted

Heavytoka @ Aug 13th 2009 5:24PM

Amazon has the headset for 43 bucks, haven't seen cheaper anywhere else yet.

Bailers77 @ Aug 13th 2009 5:26PM

Or wait a few more months for MAG to come out, I'd be shocked if they don't bundle a headset with the game.

Sly [Planeteer | Power of Teets & Crumpets] @ Aug 13th 2009 6:03PM

i got socom and the headset for $30. then i sold socom for $10. it's a very nice headset.

j.howlett @ Aug 13th 2009 6:10PM

i've been using the headset i got for my cell and the usb one i got with socom 2. i just want the game because my dad is into socom more than me, i think he still plays socom 2, and confrontation might be a game we could play together. MAG is looking good for that also.

mightymightyme @ Aug 13th 2009 6:18PM

MAG has been delayed to 2010. So I guess you could wait a few more few more months.

MaxPower @ Aug 13th 2009 5:16PM

Will the greatest hit version retain the half tuck or have the new 3/4 tuck?

JimboTJones @ Aug 13th 2009 5:21PM

Woot! Been waiting for Uncharted to drop to $30 so I could play it. I loved the demo but I didn't want to spend $60 on a ~10 hour game that I would likely only play through once. But, I didn't want to buy the game used either as I wanted to make sure that Naughty Dog received compensation for my purchase as they deserve it.

GiggMan @ Aug 14th 2009 9:59AM

No way you will play through it only once......

Not possible.

bluetev @ Aug 13th 2009 5:26PM

Reminds me, I need to try SOCOM again. A lot of the criticism about the game probably no longer holds true. My first game in the series, heard great things about it and the level of tactics and team play involved.
Just went through the Uncharted cutscenes again on Youtube. Brilliant, feel like playing it again. And its one game where I like the 2 sidekicks more than the lead character, so relieved that Sully and Elena are back. Somehow, the new lady character in Uncharted 2 is a bit dislikeable.
