Gaming News - July 2006
Foster City, CA (July 25, 2006) - Sony today announced that the first
Greatest Hits for the PSP are now available for $19.99: Ape Escape: On the
Loose, ATV Offroad Fury: Blazin' Trails, Hot Shots Golf: Open Tee, Twisted
Metal: Head On, or WipeoutPure.
From Sony:
With more than 5 million units sold, the PSP system remains North
America's top-selling next-generation handheld in the period since its
record-setting launch in March 2005. These first "Greatest Hits" games defined
the PSP experience at launch and have contributed to the overall success of
the system.
"The PSP system has truly arrived with the launch of its 'Greatest Hits'
collection, which we expect will drive consumer interest in the device and
strong hardware growth, just as the 'Greatest Hits' programs have done for
other PlayStation platforms," said Peter Dille, senior vice president,
marketing, Sony Computer Entertainment America. "Summer is typically the
industry's lightest season for new titles, so releasing the PSP 'Greatest
Hits' now benefits many consumers who find themselves with more downtime,
whether they're on a plane headed on a vacation or simply trying to beat the
heat at home."
Later this year, additional third-party games will go "Greatest Hits,"
including Lumines, Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition, Star Wars Battlefront II, Tony
Hawk's Underground 2 Remix, and Untold Legends: Brotherhood of the Blade.
