Four more PS3 games added to Platinum range in Europe photo

Motorstorm: Pacific Rift, Killzone 2, Resistance 2 and Metal Gear Solid 4. All of these have sold over 400,000 units in Europe, and SCEE has confirmed all of them for their price-discounted Platinum range.

GamesIndustry.biz says that although Sony has not set a date for the re-releases of these games as Platinum titles, many retailers have already begun selling them at their lower price. This, added to the Amazon.co.uk leak that Grand Theft Auto IV is also going Platinum, and it looks like there's going to be some pretty solid games available at a low price pretty soon.

Way to not take three years as is mandatory at Nintendo. Where are the "platinum" titles, Nintendo?

I hope they chage those boxes with all that hideous yellow soon.

As a bargain bin gamer I must say they should crap the special color cases all together, they don't look good when lined up with normal games and just serve as milestones of shame, displaying you cheapassness to anyone coming close to your vidya collection...

I'm suprised it took this long for MGS4 to be added. Let's hope the new boxes, as previously noted, are changed also for platinum.

Unless they're talking mainland Europe, I'm sure they've already Platted MGS4.

Somebody should introduce my country's retailers to this price-drop thing...


Many 2007 and 2008 games still cost ~70 bucks...

MGS4 has been a platinum title (in the UK at least) since the beginning of the year. It'd be weird if it was only platinum in the UK though, maybe they are dropping the price down from £24.99 to £19.99.

Fuck the yellow banners and the cheap grey cases though.

Damn the platinum cases are ugly. What the fuck were Sony and their design department thinking. Retards. (Necessarily harsh words to express my distaste with their disgusting designs).

Yeah, I do not buy Platinum editions simply because of the shite boxes!

I'd rather buy a pre-owned copy in an original box. Surely they realise that they lose sales by putting them in those stupid silver boxes with that horrible yellow shit on them?

Platinum games in normal or even different but not shit, yellow and silver boxes and i for one will buy platinum games.
