The article is not in english, but there is a picture.

http://ps3-sense.nl/showthread.php/releasedatum-en-prijs-playstation-platinum-games-bekend-1009.html?s=c2f2cffbacfb53879665e87622b74275&p=6279#post6279

All I can gather from the article (I think) is that Motorstorm, Resistance, Uncharted, Heavenly Sword and Ratchet and Clank are going Platinum.

If the Picture is what Platinum games will look like, I don't really like what I'm seeing. I think they could have picked a better colour. Maybe red. At least red would match the PS3s black and red theme. Yellow seems a bit of an odd choice in my opinion.

EDIT:

Platinum titles go by the name Greatest Hits in the US.

Titles will sell for 24,99 euros which is $40.00 USD.

Hope there is news on the Greatest Hits versions for these games for the NA audience. Been wanting to get Uncharted and Heavenly Sword, but don't want to pay full price at the moment.

Also would be nice to see Folklore on the list, but I can only hope.

Oh no. Time for the ''ugly ones'' to strike back.
At least platginum covers looks better than Xbox Classics.

Those boxes look like ass.

I hope they announce the GH lineup at E3 and launch them by early August at the latest. I also hope the boxes are either blue or transparent.

€25 is good, means they will be £20.

On the cover and the yellow, that image has been floating around for months hasn't it? I think they'll stick with previous Platinum colours, as in a silvery colour. They did a silver box for PS2 games as well.

Hmm, pie.
