Not in the US yet but soon! Seeing that games are region free maybe this will help out those that import games.

Cool. I already have Ninja Gaiden Sigma and Resistance but I might get Ridge Racer 7 when it becomes a budget title.

Thats why I still havent picked up resistance, I just figured sooner or later it will be a discount game. I didn't figure it would take that long though.

I think it'll be $30 in the US. Japan seems to pay a little extra. Not sure if it has to do with the value of their yen.

How long does it usually take Sony to create the greatest hits category?

Why? It can't be helped sometimes. Tons of games I've had to get via greatest hits because I couldn't get the first versions when they were released.

No idea last sony console I owned was the ps1. I figured that resistance would atleast drop 10 bux over its almost 2 year run, but no its still 59.99 for a launch game lol.

As long as they don't change the label from black to red. I hate that. Maybe if they had a slipcase with GREATEST HITS on it and inside was the original game.

I'm a picky guy :P

This whole Greatest Hits arguement is probably one of the weirdest gaming-related quirks I've heard about. I can understand why people hat the "gut copy" from Gamestop/EB games, but come on ... to me greatest hits = classic. But hey, I guess I shouldn't be the one to talk because I have some pretty weird gaming quirks myself.

That won't happen (unfortunately). Think about it. You're asking them to give you more than you got when the game was originally released but for a smaller retail price than when the game was originally released.

It actually is a discount. PS1/PS2 games were never $59.99, so that's why they were $19.99, but Ps3 games are $59.99, so you do the math.

About time we got some more reasonable priced, quality software. I do hope it's not the 37 price rage that they hit us up for though. 20-30 seems more reasonable to me given the comparable price cut done with the PS2 games. In the end, I don't really mind the "red label" but if I had my choice of the original and greatest hits packaging, I'm picking up the original. Keep them price cuts coming Sony!

Peace in the Middle East ^_^v

I should pick up Resistence soon then, I don't want the cover ruined.

It annoys the hell out of me when they give games the dodgey 'Classic' cover on it, there is no reason to do it and no one likes it.

hm... i wonder what color we'll get? PS1 was that HIDEOUS lime green, PS2 had the pretty good-looking red... i saw that in europe they're this ugly yellow. ew. i hope we get something a little more aesthetically pleasing... maybe a blue? hell even purple would look better than that yellow.
i also hope they're like $20. i don't want to have to pay $30 for a launch game, and i will NEVER pay $40. so yeah...

Good question, it's why I wonder why do people think in-game XMB is going to be out sometime in the next decade. Hopefully it'll be there with the PS5 though, never know with Sony's term of "soon"

I think someone needs to tell Sony not to announce anything until a week before its release, and thats only when they are 1,000,000,000% sure there will be no delays. Nobody likes waiting..

but thats the point. sony does keep us waiting, to build up the hype and that equals MORE MONEY for them. aslong as they sell the game to you, thats all they care about really....
