    that’s pretty sweet…but some of those can be picked up for cheaper than the “greatest hits” price…so that doesn’t really make sense to me lol.

  2. Jaxx377 says:

    No Uncharted yet? It seems to me like this should have been one of the first games to make this list.

  3. Jeneric says:

    @Jaxx377
    yeah i cant believe they would make mgs4 a greatest hit and not uncharted. really both can sell for $60

  4. uncharted was on the greatest hits list since last year – along with heavenly sword and motorstorm and assassins creed.

    this is great. any improvement to ps3 is good.

    @ LoveStrucked

    I thought so too when I read this but I just went back and double checked after reading your comment and as far as I can tell it’s not on the list yet.
    I may be wrong but I can’t find it listed anywhere.

    I would swap Motorstorm 2 for Army of Two

    @Sneeches

    not true.. unless your buying used online from Amazon.

    30$ for a brand new game isnt bad. regular retailers still sell them at 60$ or sometimes slightly reduced. With the greatest hits title you at least you get a brand new game.

  8. shadowjin says:

    @LoveStrucked

    yeah they were but they just announced it would become a greatest hits.. now its official with a date.

  9. good stuff but nothing i want to buy

  10. Sneeches says:

    @shadow – yes true, I’ve seen BFBC at Futureshop.ca for 19$ off and on for a while now.

  11. Good line up. I’ll probably buy GT5P now and with this information I should be able to find a cheap used price.
