“Greatness is Earned” with the five new titles on Xbox 360 to receive the Platinum Hits designation. Grand Theft Auto IV, Street Fighter IV, Left 4 Dead, Saint’s Row 2, and Star Wars: The Force Unleashed now fall under the Platinum Hits umbrella for being best-selling games as well as receiving critical acclaim. The games will now sell for $19.99.

On top of the new pricing, many retailers are offering a “Buy 2 – Get 1 Free” promotion for Platinum Hits games, and are including these newest additions.

I could be happy and excited about this announcement, but I am a little bitter. After I buy over half of these games new at $60, they get priced at a third of what I originally paid?! Oh well, I guess. I did get to play them ahead of everyone else, too. Actually, I kind of feel sorry for the people that will only now experience these games. Anyways, they are all good and if you have not played them, I will suspend my judgement while you travel to the nearest store to pick them up.
