If the title is the same, it's the same game. Sometimes Platinum hits games are slightly different, like Lost Planet, but they added "Extreme Colonies edition" to the title. if it's the same title, just Platimum hits version. It's the same game.

I though colonies added content though. Like new maps and MP modes plus cross PC console MP. On topic though platinum hits really just mans a game sold well. Once a game reaching a certain amount of sales it reaches platinum status and they start producing it with that case but its still the same game.

Sometimes games have a butt load of new content in them. Example: Forza 2 Platinum Hits and Forza 3 Ultimate Collection/Platinum Hits both have all the DLC on a second disc.

They're essentially the same, though the Platinum hits is uglier than monkey ****.

But hey, if it saves you a few bucks, it's all good.

The Forza 3 Ultimate collection doesn't cost anything more than the regular since its also a platinum hits.

-Forza 3 New = 39,99

-Forza 3 Ultimate Collection/Platinum Hits = 39,99

It's the same game, however as some people have already said, they might rename it, such as Battlefield Bad Company GOTY (I'm not sure if this actually exists or not but that was just an example of how they would rename it), typically these packages have some of the DLC included with the game.

Sometimes they are different. The first Mass Effect game on platinum hits came with a bonus disc with a premium theme, the dlc that was released, and loads of game making videos and design notes and such.
