PlayStation 2 platinum games price drop!

PS2 News | $49.95 to $29.95? You got it.

Sony Computer Entertainment Australia have today announced to us that they have dropped the price of their platinum titles to $29.95.

Along with this, many titles have also been added to the Platinum catalogue including Ratchet and Clank 3, Jak 3, Killzone and The Getaway: Black Monday. Sony have also officially dropped the price of Eyetoy: Monkey Mania and Eyetoy: Antigrav to $29.95.

At this price many of the Sony games are irresistible. Those who were a bit hesitant in the past are encouraged to pick up the games, with some retailers selling the titles for as low as $24!

We've recieved no word yet on if any other publishers will follow suit, with the platinum titles for other publishers retailing at $49.95. Nonetheless, this is an aggressive price cut that signifies incredible value.

Didn't this happen last gen with the PSOne? I recall getting most of my platinum titles at the $29.95 price point - I didn't get the machine til I got a PS2.

Wow, that's awesome, 30 bucks is cheap as. Too bad I don't have a PS2.

It includes every game right?

I might just get WWE Smackdown vs. Raw then...for online play of course.

This is good news indeed. Although I hate the Platinum range (so ugly), I think it is time I started collecting the games I have held out with for so long. First up can be Kingdom Hearts.

Hmm, should I pick up Killzone? Something about the game interests me....

I'd rather buy the original release second hand then get the shelf-ruiningly ugly Platinum boxes.

i was thinking that too...

but i don't like console FPS games (in case you didn't know

)

i couldn't really care less about the box the game comes in, i've got a few platinum releases, for both PSX and PS2 (and the PC equivalents)... it's whats on the disc that counts, not the box it came in...

^ I tried Killzone a while back and honestly its just 'another' FPS. Nothing really new that makes you want to play more of it.

^ yeah that's really what i was expecting... maybe i'm still caught up in the hype surrounding it...

i dunno... $30 isn't much to waste really...

then again... i've still got 10+ games i haven't finished now...

True statement that. To be pedantic though, as a collector it is a much better feeling knowing you have the product in the original condition. Knowing that your copy of the game is exactly how it was released.

Like you said, $30 (or less) is worth it to try the game. Buy it at EB and if you don't like it, back it goes.

I picked up two player's choice titles today and asked the attendant to trade the boxes with the display covers,

lucky the disks on the cube player's choice games don't change.

ah but you see i don't see myself as a collector, but a player...

and as a player i'd have no problem buying a game for less if it had the option of coming in a paper sleeve...
