For only the second time in the history of PlayStation, a new collection of ‘Platinum’ greatest hits games will debut from 1st March 2002.
The ‘Platinum ’ collection will feature some of the best selling and most popular game titles of recent years on PlayStation 2. Building on the hugely successful Platinum collection for the original PlayStation, the first batch of nine games; four from SCEE and five from third party publishers will debut in the shops from 1st March at a significant discount to the normal price of such top selling games. At least a dozen other third party titles will become eligible to go Platinum in the following months.
The first nine titles to go Platinum are Gran Turismo 3, Tekken Tag Tournament, Formula 1 2001 and Dead or Alive 2, all from Sony Computer Entertainment Europe; Timesplitters from Eidos; Oni from Take 2; Crazy Taxi from Acclaim; Red Faction from THQ and Starwars:Starfighter from LucasArts.
For a game to win the ultimate accolade of release as a Platinum title, it must have achieved a stated minimum sales level across the SCEE territories in the last nine months, a hurdle that the first titles have cleared with ease.
