+Audioboxer Subscriber² Posted July 17, 2008 Subscriber² Share Posted July 17, 2008 More news from Sony's secret, PAL-only event in Santa Monica: the region's "Platinum" games range for the PS3 have a release date, as well as pricing info. The first batch of Platinum games will be appearing on August 1, and titles mentioned specifically included MotorStorm, Resistance, Uncharted, Assassin's Creed and Virtua Tennis 3 (with Heavenly Sword and Ratchet & Clank surely there as well). As for pricing, they'll be *deep breath* €30/?20/AUD$50/NZD$60. Source: http://kotaku.com/5026049/ps3-platinum-ran...for-pal-regions ?20 is decent. I'll be getting Uncharted now! Seeing as those are RRPs mind you, I hope some places maybe undercut to ?14.99. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dc'1 Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 I'm going to get R&C and probably Resistance, hopefully the boxes aren't differently coloured though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrunknMunky Veteran Posted July 19, 2008 Veteran Share Posted July 19, 2008 I'm going to get R&C and probably Resistance, hopefully the boxes aren't differently coloured though... The boxes are the same colour, however they have changed the cover art. It now has a yellow stripe with Platinum written on it iirc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corris Veteran Posted July 19, 2008 Veteran Share Posted July 19, 2008 God I hope that isn't the final design, it looks horrible. Why can they never get greatest hits or platinum versions looking right. Just stick a nice sticker on the front or something, don't go over board with horrible colours.

Guest Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 That box art is hideous :x Hopefully I can find the original Resistance for a similar price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Symons Veteran Posted July 21, 2008 Veteran Share Posted July 21, 2008 I wish the box art was actually platinum coloured and matched the name =\ If it's yellow, they may as well call it Gold. *shrug* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coldgunner Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 The silver on the original platinum releases for the PS1 were acceptable, not sure about the yellow. no doubt retailers will sell the old non platinum stock for about the same price.

Corris Veteran Posted July 29, 2008 Veteran Share Posted July 29, 2008 Someone go buy one or take a pic so we can see how horrible they look on the box, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popisdead uk Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 I don't buy games to look at the boxes, so the box art really doesn't bother me. The price is what counts. (Y) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
