List of Sony Greatest Hits games

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search

These are PlayStation, PlayStation 2 (PS2), and PlayStation Portable (PSP) games that have been made Greatest Hits games in the United States of America (US) by Sony. GH titles are referred to as "Green Label" for PlayStation games and "Red Label" for PS2 and PSP titles.

When Sony introduced the program for PlayStation in 1997, games could become GH titles after selling at least 150,000 copies and being on the market for at least a year.[1] Minimum sales required eventually rose to 250,000. [2] When the program came to PlayStation 2 in 2002, games could become GH titles after selling at least 400,000 copies and being on the market for at least 9 months.[3] Suggested retail prices of GH titles at first were dropped to $24.99, but they now typically retail for $19.99. Third-party publishers, however, can set their own GH prices and are not required to make their games GH titles after passing the minimums. Games that are multi-million sellers may become GH titles much later than 9 months to maximize profits.

In 2006, Sony extended the Greatest Hits program to the PlayStation Portable.[4] To qualify, a title must be on the market for at least 9 months and have sold 250,000 copies or more.

In PAL territories, Sony uses the Platinum range, while in NTSC-J territories which consist of Japan and Asia, Sony uses "the Best" branding for best-selling budget games.
