FYI, Sony has started re-branding some PS3 games as "Greatest Hits" at a $30 price point. They have a similar red banner on the case to that of PS2 Greatest Hits. So far the titles are Motorstorm, Warhawk, and Resistance: Fall of Man. I haven't played Warhawk, but the other two are good games.

Re: PS3 "Greatest Hits" Series Launch
Neat game, although some parts of it can get mildly tedious.
On a related note, while I don't think it's technically a Greatest Hits title, Burnout: Paradise has been reduced to $30 as well.

I also started this some time ago, but I was kinda disappointed and probably move on to some other game. It wasn´t the "medieval stealth"-game that I thought it was.
Resistance was very good, considering that it was a "launch title". "Resistance 2" will arrive quite soon and it´ll kick some serious as*.
Of course there´s also "Gear Of War 2" for Xbox 360.
"Warhawk" is my favourite online-game so far. I would say, that it´s a great start for the "newcomers" (which I kinda was in online-gaming with PS3). Of course, if you want more "realism" etc, then "CoD4". But like I said, I haven´t played that much online.

Re: PS3 "Greatest Hits" Series Launch
I'm not sure I get the concept of paying the same amount to download a game to take up space on my hard drive as it would cost to buy a disc with a box and a manual (aside from the rather rare case where one lives very far from any store that might carry it and doesn't want to wait for a mail order).
BTW, today is PS3 day (finally!) in the Amazon Gold Box. I posted about it in the Bargains folder.

Re: PS3 "Greatest Hits" Series Launch
OK, this looks to be the official list:
- Resistance
- Assassin's Creed
- Motorstorm
- Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion (about 7,000 hours of gameplay in this one)
- Fight Night Round 3
- Warhawk (without headset)
- Ninja Gaiden Sigma
- Rainbow Six Vegas
- Need For Speed: Carbon
- Call of Duty 3
Amazon is selling Genji: Days of the Blade for $20, but I don't think it's officially in the GH line. IMO it's a pretty good game once you get used to the close-up camera (tip: learn to keep an eye on the radar in the corner).

Well, more seriously speaking, I always prefer to buy the actual game disc (with booklet, case, cover art) vs downloading it from e.g. PS network.
These new games takes plenty of space (from the hard drive) and usually cost the same (at least roughly) as the actual game disc.
So I have the actual game disc of "Warhawk" and "GT5 Prologue", and I´m waiting for one of "Siren: Blood Curse" (disc version will be released in at least Europe in the Autumn). Same thing with the "Ratchet & Clank"-sequel "Ratchet & Clank Future: Quest for Booty". And I guess I have this "collector"-side of me. I can easily buy some older games, even when I don´t play them *that* actively.
