First budget PS3 titles hit US

Sony has unveiled its first wave of PlayStation 3 budget titles for North America.

These will be lumped together under a Greatest Hits label and be sold for the princely sum of USD 29.99 (GBP 15). So far the range includes first-party offerings MotorStorm, Resistance, and Warhawk.

But perhaps more interesting are the third-party additions of Oblivion, Rainbow Six Vegas, Assassin's Creed, Ninja Gaiden Sigma, Call of Duty 3 and Need for Speed: Carbon.

There are no European plans yet, but the PS3 did launch a few months earlier in the US remember. We know a Platinum range is "likely" to make it here, and sometime around September with a price point of GBP 19.99 sounds good to us.

Hopefully we can wangle some sort of confirmation from Sony at E3.
