Microsoft today announced that it will soon be launching a Platinum Hits program for Xbox 360, shaving $30 off the initial launch price of several top selling games for the system. The first set of games to become Platinum Hits is comprised of Rare's Perfect Dark Zero, Bizarre Creations' Project Gotham Racing 3, Rare's Kameo: Elements of Power, and EA Black Box's Need for Speed Most Wanted. These games will be rebranded to the new line as of October 15, 2006 with an MSRP of $29.99.
Xbox Platinum Hits for Microsoft's debut console, which included games such as Bungie's Halo and FASA Studio's Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge, reportedly made up a hefty 16% of all Xbox software sold.
