Microsoft has announced that several new titles will soon be joining the ranks of the Xbox 360’s budget priced Platinum Hits line. The new additions include some seriously heavy hitters, namely Grand Theft Auto IV, Street Fighter IV, Left 4 Dead, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed and Saints Row 2. Microsoft’s announcement (oh so conveniently) neglected to mention prices for any of the titles, but a quick check around the ol’ internet points to a price of $29.99 for most of the new additions (though SFIV curiously seems pegged around $40 for the moment).
We should also point out that while these are some legitimately great games, both SFIV and Force Unleashed are receiving upgraded, budget versions in the near future — Ultimate Sith Edition later this year and Super Street Fighter IV in early 2010. It’s also worth noting Left 4 Dead is receiving a full-blown sequel only a month from now.
Microsoft has also announced that retailers will be offering a “Buy 2, Get 1 Free” promotion for Xbox 360 Platinum Hits through October 31, though the release makes no mention of which retailers are doing so. We’ve contacted Microsoft for more information on the promotion.

With the recent release of the Capcom’s Xbox 360 Platinum Hits Triple Pack, many are wondering if we’ll see similar, value-oriented bundles from Capcom in the future. Chris Kramer, Capcom’s resident PR dude, told VG247 that while Capcom doesn’t have any immediate plans for other titles, he “wouldn’t rule out more collections in 2010.”
Though the last $40 pack, containing Lost Planet, Devil May Cry 4 and Dead Rising, certainly appealed to our interests, our miserly ways have forced us to wait for some more triple-packs to arrive … and then get a triple-pack of those. Sure, the cover art will be have degraded considerably by then, but just think of the money we’ll save!

If your gaming time has been sorely missing some Capcom TLC, then know the company is set to offer up a few of its older titles in one Xbox 360 package. Starting September 8, gamers can snatch up Capcom’s Platinum Hits Triple Pack, which is pretty much just that: A package containing Dead Rising; Lost Planet: Extreme Condition – Colonies Edition; and Devil May Cry 4.
It’s all well and good to try and introduce gamers to some of your almost-classics, but we think Capcom seriously missed a chance to get some Bionic Commandos out there into the world. Yes, we get it’s a Platinum Hits bundle, but what could you possibly be doing with all those discs, Capcom? Building a fort in the break room?

It appears as though Microsoft’s plans for an August launch of its Games on Demand service is popping up a bit early. Why just this morning, we spotted a listing for the already confirmed Mass Effect (sporting its snazzy new Platinum Hits packaging) in our Xbox.com Marketplace RSS feed. Unsurprisingly, the listing has been removed from the website itself, though RSS feeds won’t allow for editing after something has been published.
As 360sync.com rightfully points out, game manuals will be provided virtually through the Xbox.com Marketplace website according to the listing, so you’ve got that going for ya (which is nice). We’re not sure when these puppies are showin’ up on XBL for sure, but from the looks of things, we’d say sooner rather than later. For a video tour of the upcoming Games on Demand service, hit the break.
