Updated original title to reflect new update.

[fwacce]

It's that price everywhere now.

[62t]

the other $10 games are Fuzion Frenzy, MechAssault and PGR2

[LinkinPrime]

Not sure, I just did a quick search on Bestbuy.com for "Best of Platinum Hits" and it came up with PGR2, Mechassault, and Counter Strike. It might be a norm for all titles with the "Best of" in the title.

Circuit City has quite a few Platinum Hits for 9.99

If link doesnt work, look for XBOX video games and sort by price.

[keiblerfan69]

So they made a platnium hits of the platnium hits?

[LaraCroftsLeftBoob]

i think i'll wait for the $4.99 best of best of platinum hits version.

Pretty much, and it looks like most of them are BC as well!

Lets hope the March update changes this.

[LinkinPrime]

Saw the same prices at Best Buy B&M might be regular price @ 9.99 now. Picked up a copy of CS.

You just missed it, the Best Buy $5 off PH expired today.

WTF? Damn I didnt know about those. Oh well 9.99 was more than worth it for CS. I had it before, traded it and regret it.

Thanks, updated original post and title.

[alfonsosoriano]

God, that is so hilarious that they made a platinum hit of a platinum hit.

[abhinav]

[nwaugh]

It's almost time to pick up an Xbox.

HAHHAA man this thread is ethir realy funny or i am realy tired. heh somone said that these will fall to $5 soon, so true hahaha

[DeathMoJo]

Morrowind has be 10 for a while at Target. If you are there it should be on a back end in the electronics department. Its 10 for the original morrowind on the xbox and 15 for the gold edition that comes with morrowind and the 2 expansions.

[dafunkk12]

This redundancy is just too much... What kind of crazy guy in marketing greenlit this idea?!

[The Don]

Do people still play the Xbox version of Counterstrike online?

[minmao]

Do people still play the Xbox version of Counterstrike online?

Same question? I would be a waste if I could not find any player on live.

[Simmen Stenil]

It's worth noting that a lot of these games are cheap used now too. If you're a real cheap ass, just head to your local EB or go to www.ebgames.com and buy these games used. Most are now $7.99 used, but some like PGR2 are only $4.99! Que ganga!

[Purkeynator]

A $10 manufacturers suggested price is awesome. This is good news after the 360 games went up to $60. Microsoft is actually cool sometimes.

[MadFlava]

i think i'll wait for the $4.99 best of best of platinum hits version.

same here, that's just crazy, they even have special packaging for the best of platinum hits, lol. Anyway, at least we can now get them at these prices full time instead of rushing the get them out of clearance bins.

[b0bx13]

Well shit, I just paid $10 last week for a used copy of Pandora Tomorrow. Oh well, at least it's the original packaging and not the PHPH

[GunstarRed]

This is hilarious! You guys already touched on just about every joke I was thinking of myself! Only one you missed is that Sony will follow suit with "Greatest Greatest Hits" and Nintendo will counter with "Player's Choice Player's Choice"!

Actually, that's a price increase for some of these games that had been clearanced for less. Noticed Target had a rack of $9.99 games and most of these were there, just not with the new packaging yet, which is odd since Target seems to get the new packaging before any other store. They were weeks ahead with PH covers of GTA: San Andreas, Star Wars III, Lego Star Wars, and SW:KOTORIITSL.

[Trakan]

Who the hell cares what they're called as long as it equals cheaper games for us?

[LinkinPrime]

I dont get what's so funny about this. So they have a Best of Platinum hits and they are selling them for half the price of the regular Platinum hits. Its a great deal regardless of extra labeling on the package or different color.

[GunstarRed]

^^^I don't think people are laughing at the idea of cheaper games. It's just kind of funny that they felt the need to do new packaging and renaming them as a subdivision of Platinum Hits.

But yes I agree, who cares what they're called as long as it means cheaper games.
