Sony Cuts Prices On Many Things
February 25, 2011
Sony has gone crazy with price cuts as the company has announced new low prices on both hardware and software. The on-the-way-out PlayStation Portable is now a respectable $130 provided you're in the market for a handheld that's had an unofficial expiration date for some time now, while a variety of PlayStation 3 and PSP games from yesteryear have entered the Greatest Hits and Favorites line of red cases and cheaper prices. If you've dragged your feet on picking up Uncharted 2 or Daxter and aren't saving up for 2011's ever-increasing number of must-play games, here's your chance to stock up. Here's the complete list of price cuts courtesy of the PlayStation Blog:
New PS3 "Greatest Hits" Titles ($29.99)
- God of War III
- Heavy Rain
- ModNation Racers
- UFC Undisputed 2010
- UNCHARTED 2: Among Thieves – GAME OF THE YEAR EDITION
New PSP “Greatest Hits” Titles ($19.99)
- Assassin’s Creed Bloodlines
- DISSIDIA FINAL FANTASY
- LittleBigPlanet
- METAL GEAR SOLID: PEACE WALKER
- Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters
- Resistance: Retribution
- Toy Story 3: The Video Game
New PSP “Favorites” Titles ($9.99)
- CRISIS CORE-FINAL FANTASY VII
- Daxter
- Monster Hunter Freedom Unite
- Killzone: Liberation
- SOCOM U.S. Navy SEALs: Fire Team Bravo
- Tomb Raider Anniversary
Some of those games were long overdue for a price cut. If you're looking for my recommendations from this list, I say that you can't go wrong with Uncharted 2 and Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters. God of War III is a great ride that stops after eight hours, give or take. Heavy Rain is a worthwhile way to spend time, but I can't say that I ever really found it fun. Intriguing, maybe. Something about Daxter rubbed me the wrong way and I never got around to finishing it. That should be enough to get you started.
