PlayStation2 games on the cheap, new "Hits" announced
Sony just added five more titles to the PlayStation2's "Greatest Hits" catalog.
Posted August 04, 2006
As of Sunday, August 6, five additions will be made to the PlayStation2 "Greatest Hits" lineup: SOCOM 3: U.S. Navy Seals, Shadow of the Colossus, Ratchet: Deadlocked, Jak X: Combat Racing and Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves.
Traditionally, PS2 games that have sold really well (i.e. hundreds of thousands of copies), thereby establishing themselves as titles of mass appeal--not to mention way-in-the-black--, get repackaged and sold anew at the "value" price point of $20 USD/$25 CDN (normally they're $40 - $60 each).
Today's announcement marks a total of 169 "Greatest Hits" titles for the PlayStation 2 library; the most of any platform--Xbox has 61 "Platinum Hits" and GameCube has 27 "Player's Choice" titles of similar "hit" stature.
