| PLAYSTATION 3 |

Sony is continuing their budget friendly PlayStation “the Best” series on the PlayStation 3. The first five entries are:
Folklore
Ninja Gaiden Sigma
Mobile Suit Gundam: Target in Sight
Ridge Racer 7
Each of these titles will be rebranded with smaller box art, a yellow label and drop down to 3,800 yen ($35) on March 19 in Japan. If SCEJ’s pricing strategy is any indicator, I wouldn’t expect PlayStation 3 Greatest Hits games to sell for the usual $19.99 price point. Sony Computer Entertainment Japan bumped the price for a Best re-release up from the usual 2,800 yen ($26) price tag for a PlayStation 2 game to 3,800 yen. However, SCEJ doesn’t price all Best releases the same. Occasionally, a PlayStation 2 game like Momotarou Dentetsu 15 slips out with a 3,800 yen price tag too.
Sony Computer Entertainment America and Europe have yet to announce their lineup of Greatest Hits or Platinum Hits, but we will probably see them later this year.
