Wikipedia, let's get this article going! WikiTruth 15:19, 25 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Not all Platinum Hits titles sell for $19.99 MSRP, like Tom Clancy's Triple Pack or any of the 2-packs out there.

I have a more complete list I'd like to add. Even the list on Microsoft's site isn't as up to date.

Also, shouldn't there be lists for Platinum Hits titles in other regions than the US? Radjago 16:40, 31 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

And what exactly are the requirements for a title to become a Platinum Hit? I've heard that the game must ship a certain number, but I haven't found a definitive source to say what that number is. Radjago 18:48, 31 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It seems like you've got it down pat there, Radjago. If I come actoss a list for games in other countries, I'll throw it up there. However, I would imagine that such lists are not as readily-documented as they are here in the United States. After all, the Xbox doesn't have all that much support in other countries, like Japan. WikiTruth 20:07, 31 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Do you think there's enough to the article to remove the stub tag now? Radjago 04:00, 7 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Honestly, I wouldn't mind keeping it. Having it there isn't exactly cumbersome to the page, and it's always nice to be able to have other wikipedians see our page, and then add games to it.. On the other hand, the list seems pretty complete, and if any more games become "Hits", then we'll catch it and add it to the list as such. I'm fine with it either way. WikiTruth 20:02, 10 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

For games that fit in more than one category, I've been trying to fit titles in the most exclusive group in which they belong. For example, Shrek 2 is a PH, but it's also a Family Hit and a Best of PH, so I listed it in Best of PH. It seems like the best way to organize them for the list. Radjago 02:58, 11 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'd like to add a box shot for each of the PH categories, but I'm unclear about how to do it. I'm also not well versed in the copyright issues surrounding it. Could anyone help out? Radjago 20:30, 5 June 2006 (UTC).[reply]

I saw Crash Nitro Kart and Ninja Gaiden were added to the list, but I haven't seen any press releases or games on the shelf that would indicate these games made Platinum Hits. Ninja Gaiden was re-released with added content as Ninja Gaiden Black, but so far neither have become Platinum Hits. Radjago 05:04, 15 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, after some searching around, I came up with some international titles and added them to the appropriate lists. I also rearranged the lists and tidied up a bit. Radjago 06:50, 15 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Crash Nitro kart is a Bundle with Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex and Ninja Gaiden is a PH (becusce i saw it today at Walt malt as a PH) .

Xbox360

Is there ever going to be Platinum Hits line for the Xbox360 ?

Most likely, yes, but there hasn't been any official word from Microsoft as to if/when they plan to do it. Radjago 09:23, 1 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Someone combined the Xbox 360 Platinum Hits, Classics, and Platinum Collection series games into one list. There should be separate lists for each region. For example, in North America, as of now there are only 4 Platinum Hits games for Xbox 360: Perfect Dark Zero, Project Gotham Racing 3, Kameo: Elements of Power, and Need for Speed: Most Wanted. Call of Duty 2 has a Game of the Year Edition, but it is not part of the Platinum Hits line. Radjago 08:14, 21 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Additional Content

What would be the best way to denote games on the list that come with additional or extra content not included in the original release of the game. Examples would be the extra story and content from Fable: The Lost Chapters, extra cars and another city from Midnight Club 3: Dub Edition Remix, and more multiplayer maps for Perfect Dark Zero. Radjago 07:31, 16 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Go look at the PlayStation "Greatest Hits" section because there is a similar ocurance listed there. Also add to the list Lost Planet, had all previous DLC in game and added new modes. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.118.197.140 (talk) 16:45, 29 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

One is not better than the other. They are just different names Microsoft uses for different markets in different regions of the world. Radjago 15:19, 27 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
