The ps3 list is small, but everything on it is quality.
Man theres enough dumb 360 owners buying shit games that just about anything can be a platinum hit with the right branding. its good they only put the bad ones at the bottom, its still a great list.
AND why is burn out paradise (better game) cheaper than an older burn out released years earlier?
and call of duty 2 and 3 cost the same, and still way too expensive compared to 4.

i'm sorry, but nothing on that list should be over $20.

This man speaks the truth, especially when those are Platinum and greatest hits editions.

there are a LOT of things you can get on eBay cheaper...take for instance people that Bitch about The MemorySticks that Sony Products use....a 16GB MemStick Duo in the store is $100....on eBay I've got them for just $30....fact is the GENERAL PUBLIC doesn't give a shit about how cheap something is on eBay....just how much it cost them to go pick it up in the store RIGHT NOW...

I agree, the platinum and greatest hits games should be 20 rather than 30. Especially considering all the games on these lists have basically already made a profit.
I buy a lot of games when they are 60 and don't regret it but such old games are games that have sold so much and are part of the lineup I feel really shouldn't be costing 30.
Since like people have stated you can easily fine them for much cheaper online or from gamestop and such. I picked up uncharted for 24.99 at a pawn shop months before it was even announced for greatest hits

@Swagman
Speaking as someone who only recently picked up a PS3 Slim, R&C:ToD and MGS4 for $45 sounds pretty decent. Those are pretty much the only two PS3 exclusives I wanted to purchase rather than rent anyway.
That being said, I hear where you're coming from.

You guys are missing the point. By 'general public', BIGGEN clearly means 'everyone who is just like him'.

"On a side note, what's with the PS3 only having 11 Greatest Hits games?! WTF? The system has been out for three years, and all Sony can manage to mark down as a greatest hits, is a measly 11 games. C'mon Sony, throw us a bone. There should be at least triple that number of PS3 titles on the Greatest Hits roster."
there are certain requirements that games have to meet before becoming Greatest Hits.

Saw this in the newspaper today. Toys R Us is actually a fantastic place to buy games. Apart from the fact that their selection is sometimes mediocre. But don't deny the fact that Assassin's Creed and Gears of War are amazing games.

Oh, and I like how it gives you the choice of ALL Greatest Hits and Platinum Titles.

I've been planning to pick up Uncharted soon anyways, so this is awesome news. Is this only online or in the stores also?

After checking the lists, I can safely say that Sonic '06 is nowhere in sight.
Although there are still some questionable Platinum Hits.

Best Buy has the same deal, but with ANY game, no matter the "hit" condition.

why does burnout revenge cost more then burnout paradise? not complaining, but its strange to see a title that came out a couple months after 360's launch cost more then its newer, better, and content heavy iteration.

I wonder my PS3 games Aren't $19 when they hit "Greatest hits" status...maybe its cause the PS2 games sale for $19...
Posted: Sep 13th 2009 12:23PM (Unverified) said
$30 for a 1, 2 or even 3 year old game is unacceptable. Do yourselves a favor and get them for like $10 on Amazon or something.

i wish nintendo had a greatest hits. i don't want to buy used, but i don't want to pay what i paid years ago to replace what was stolen.

Amazon just had B2G1 on platinum hits and the prices were better to begin with.
This sale is a turd.

what Chris D.( XBL:The Aggie CEO ) said is true ,cause i have at time have need to buy something & found that thing are cheaper on ebayw/ free shipping or not .it's just the wait . yes you all say that i can pay to have it expressed to me but at how much more ,see that is where ebay lose sales. you may find items cheap but in the end it will cost more than just going to the store . remember items in the price range of these games ,cause i see a bunch of you guy trying to make an arguement of it by buy something way below the price of these items ,just to prove it's cheaper on ebay.

I know there is more games on the Sony side that are cheaper so why isnt Sony pimping those games when compared to the huge mess of games being offered on the MS side.

My friend is telling me this is for PSP greatest hits also. Is it?
From what I see, it doesnt necessarily say "PS3". Just "ALL Greatest Hits or Platinum". So....is this for PSP too?

Rats, nothing on the PS3 GH list is anything I want if I don't already own it. I guess I can use my money toward NHL 10...or Need for Speed Shift on Tues after trading in NCAA Football 10 and Infamous...but should I really get rid of Infamous?? It has a special place in my heart. Hmmm. Gotta ponder this one...

I like to trade games and since owning a ps3 I've only kept three. Uncharted, Burnout and inFamous. The other two are favourites I still play, Burnout all the time but I haven't platinumed inFamous yet, still probably keep it however because it's awesome.

Posted: Sep 14th 2009 12:50PM TreyIM2 said
Yea, I own those, too, and many, many more but I think I will hang on to Infamous yet it's not the first time it almost got traded in. I was actually at GS getting Madden 10 and the other games I traded in actually covered the cost, and then some, so Infamous made the ride back home. Lol, but I do still regret, a lil, trading in RE5 that day.

I think my favorite TRU deal was the Halo 3 Legendary Edition being cleared out at 45 near the end of 2008. Sure, I already had the Limited Edition, but you can never have too many copies of great games!

I'm a huge R&C fan but for some reason Tools of Destruction didn't seem like it was worth $60. Something about the demo turned me away. It might have been the lack of comic relief that I was accustomed to in Going Commando and Up Your Arsenal.
But now I'm definitely going to get it new for this price and used depending on the store's price.
I've been playing Deadlocked lately and I now remember why upgrading all those weapons is so fun.

Wow, you judged R&C's comic relief by playing its demo? That was wrong sir, very, very wrong. You should only judge a game's gameplay and not story by its demo, at least that's what -I- do.

The game could have been a little bigger though, I kinda missed the Skill Points. It's good to know that they are back, probably named Trophies this time.
