Sony's "Greatest Hits" collection...

**Kane Knight** · 08-02-2008, 03:24 PM

So Sony announced ten games would be the first line of "Greatest Hits" for the PS3. Anyway, I noticed that most of these hits are ones that have had price breaks on the 360 for a while. Only three of the games (Resistance, Motorstorm, Warhawk) are true exclusives, and I know I've seen a lot of the other seven marked down on the 360. Not to mention, Motorstorm's one of the pack-in titles on several versions of the PS3 console.

Which is great if you own only a PS3, but I kind of have to wonder what's going on here. Games like NFS Carbon and Fight Night Round 3 don't strike me as good candidates for a current "Greatest Hits" Lineup.

This isn't a "LOL Sony sucks" thread, But it seems like if you're a multiplatform owner and cost was an issue, you'd probably have gone for the 360 versions in comparison. Plus, it lacks Uncharted and Heavenly Sword (The former being awesome, and the second being a game I think would see a lot more love if it was, you know, cheaper). It just seems like they could put out a stronger list as further incentive to sell people on the PS3. I'd be prone to buy a few more games based on little more than a price cut, I'm sure, as I've done with the 360.

But really, CoD3? 4's been out a while and they still didn't feel a price break was prudent until E3?

One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs.� --John Rogers
