via Eurogamer


Sony is to launch a budget range of PS3 games in Europe in a fortnight's time.

The Platinum range will kick off on 1st August at GBP 19.99 / EUR 29.99.

Initial first-party games will be Resistance: Fall of Man, Heavenly Sword, MotorStorm, Uncharted: Drake's Fortune and Ratchet & Clank 3.

Virtua Tennis 3 from SEGA and Assassin's Creed from Ubisoft will be the first third-party titles, followed by WWE SmackDown vs. RAW 2008 "later in September".

SCEE boss David Reeves said "ten further titles" from third parties would then arrive "between September and the end of November".

"If you're a longstanding PS3 owner with gaps in your collection – or perhaps you've just joined the family – the PS3 Platinum range is your chance to pick up some of the very best games at a wallet-friendly price,” added Reeves in an accompanying statement.

"With great titles spanning a huge breadth of gaming experiences, this August is a great time to be a PS3 owner."
