Microsoft recently announced that they would be bringing back the Platinum Hits collection for the Xbox 360 console. Beginning on October 15th, gamers will be able to purchase Perfect Dark Zero, Project Gotham Racing 3, Need for Speed Most Wanted and Kameo: Elements of Power for $29.99 USD. This will soon be followed by a second wave of games in the spring of 2007

“The Platinum Hits program allows existing gamers and new gamers alike to have access to great games at a great price,” said Mitch Koch, corporate vice president of Worldwide Retail Sales for the Interactive Entertainment Business. “Not only does the Platinum Hits program offer games at a great value,” Koch added, “it ensures that the platform's best games are available to new customers at an amazing price. And if you missed playing a game the first time around, now is a great reason to pick it up.”

Europe, Japan, Latin America, Asia and Australia will soon receive their own Platinum Hits lineup, with titles tuned to gamer’s tastes in those regions.
