"When will platinum games be introduced to ps2"

we all know selling playstation games for £20 was a great way to sell the remaining stock of their old games, so why don't they making games like tekken tag and timesplitters £20 to attract newcomers to the console.

I read in PSW a platnium range or something similar has already begun in Japan. Tekken tag, ridge racer 5 and many of the launch titles are availible at budget price, no word on the UK though :-(

Platinum games were around fairly soon into the PS1's long life, but there were very few platinum games. Games only joined the range when they had really acheived something, and only towards the later stages of PS1's life did the range become larger in content.

I reckon games developers will put there own games under a 'Platinum' tag. Like on the Dreamcast, Acclaim re-relased there old games under the tag 'Acclaim Classics' for a discounted price. I think this will happen over time aswell as Sonys own 'Platinum' tag.

Platinum games have been going for ages. I remember I had Tomb Raider 2 when it first came out, and one of my dads mates had bought a PS1 for his kids and had Worms Platinum edition.

The new 'Platinum Range' is soon to be released. I can't remember the name of the range (as I was fairly sure it wasn't Platinum) but it's a similar format.

I beleive the early games include the likes of Timesplitters and Tekken Tag.

i guess platinum games usually start appearing near the end of consoles life (as in the case of ps1) so i guess the ps2 still has a while left before the ps3 turns up.
