A European PS3 Platinum range is due this fall, reports Jeux-France, with MotorStorm, Heavenly Sword (pictured), Resistance: Fall of Man, Formula One Championship Edition, Lair, Folklore, Ridge Racer 7 and Genji: Days of the Blade set to be offered for €40 each.

Sony Computer Entertainment Europe previously told Next-Gen that a Platinum range similar to that introduced in Japan was “likely” to be released in Europe at some stage. On Tuesday the platform holder said a Platinum range is definitely coming, but refused to go into any details or to confirm the Jeux-France report.

“We have said all along that a Platinum range will happen at some point as it is what we have always done. As for when, we haven't and will not confirm anything yet,” said a spokesperson.

Jeux-France recently broke the news about the soon to be released European Gran Turismo 5 Prologue PS3 bundle.

nice now US needs one.

Good news, will hopefully mean that HS can crawl to 1 million sold with this price drop!

Well, tbh in Holland you can allready buy those games at this price. I'd hope they are gonna drop lower to 20-30 euros tbh.

Doesn't "platinum" mean "million seller"? If so, Sony fails at math.

But yeah, it's nice for PS3 owners (such as myself), too bad none of those games appeal to me. Well, maybe Ridge Racer.

Maybe I'll finally buy HS...

@Chrizum: No, platinium doens't mean anything specific in itself. It can be associated with a million number sold but also can be associated with any other number. For example for ELSPA (UK games awards) Platinium means 300k sold. But generally it's arbitrary number and platinium doens't mean anything more than "good-seller" unless it's in a specific context (like ELSPA awards).

good for ps3 owners
