Forums - Sony - Demon's Souls thrusts it's love sword into platinum status hole

The PlayStation 3 ‘Greatest Hits’ line-up offered by Sony gives gamers some of the best PlayStation 3 titles the console can offer for a low, affordable price. Atlus’ Demon’s Souls is undoubtedly worthy to be on the list and has been added to the ever-growing list of PS3 greats.

The PlayStation 3 exclusive is now an official Greatest Hits title and available for the low price of $29.99. “Praised for its fearless redefinition of a multiplayer experience, heralded for its visceral combat and haunting world design, and beloved by fans for its ruthless difficulty and endless rewards, one of the finest games of its generation now proudly takes its place among the PlayStation 3 system’s greatest offerings” Atlus explains.

Tim Pivnicny, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Atlus had this to say:

“Very few games reach the esteemed PlayStation 3 system Greatest Hits status. Those that do are among the very finest the platform has to offer, combining critical success, tremendous popularity, and exceptional quality.  Demon’s Souls represents some of the biggest risks, loftiest goals, and most daring innovations ever embarked upon by a developer.  Its arrival into the exclusive ranks of PlayStation 3 Greatest Hits validates its designers’ achievements and helps bring their unique vision to a larger audience.  Priced to own at only $29.99, there has never been a better time to find out what everyone’s been talking about.”

Never has there been a more deserving game to reach the greatest hits status

Ask me about being an elitist jerk

Time for hype

Might finally give it a try, friend who says hes beaten it countless times (didn't even know you could beat this one!) keeps bother me to get it



*cries from happiness*

Now for Demon's Souls 2, SONY!!!



European people suck (myself included) because Demon's Souls hasn't hit 100k in Europe yet, and is highly unlikely to ever come close to the Platinum threshold (perhaps that's not a bad thing, though. I'd rather not have a bright yellow game cover).

I hate platinums and all other bargain versions. They shouldn't destroy game box design like that. Thankfully I got hold of the Black Phantom Version thanks to my friends on VGC.



one hell of a game

Nice to know, although I've had it since day 1. It must have had insane legs since Atlus' last quarterly report to hit greatest hits status already. IIRC Atlus had it at about 270k before.



Proudest Platinums:
1. Gran Turismo 5
2. Persona 4 Arena
3. Wipeout HD
4. Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2
5. Super Street Fighter 4

Is the best RPG that i ever played! This game deserves sell at least 1 million.

And you know why? Coz Nmco Bandai released only 100k copies. Strange as the game is out of stock with many online retailers and pople complained that the game was avilable for a few weeks.
