Are these games gonna get the ugly-ass red GREATEST HITS LOL treatment, or is it just a good old fashioned price drop?

At first you'll be able to buy the original packaged games at the reduced price, then shipments of the GREATEST HITS boxes will start pouring in.

Nice! Getting started for the Fall price drop on hardware.

Going to get Golden Abyss finally.

I've never really enjoyed Gran Turismo but then again I've never played it in depth. Though $20 is just too good of a deal to pass up for Gran Turismo XL. Is the kart racing fun? I may buy it just for that.

Definitely gonna pick up Uncharted 3. Borrowed it from a friend, but never finished it.

I'll probably pick up inFamous 2, Jak and Daxter Collection, and the God of War: Origins set at some point as well

Excellent price on the Jak collection, it's been hard to find around here so for those even slightly interested in it I'd pick it up without hesitation.

Damn thats what I call a price drop.

Will buy both Uncharteds, Sorcery, maybe Resistance, and Jak Collection early next year after I recover from the Wii U launch.

Urge to buy Vita instead of Wii U rising...but I just can't resist a new Nintendo system. Will be able to get Vita in February hopefully.

Some of those are really shocking. Sorcery just came out, I thought Uncharted 3 was still selling well and they drop it to the loest possible price. Not that I'm complaining. Sony's really gonna try and push the PS3 this Holiday for cheap. Hope they are sucessful with it.

Kart racing is awesome, especially on the karting track that was in one of the first DLC packs

Been waiting for Uncharted 3 to drop to $20 and pick this up. I like the multiplayer for it so I can get some extra milage out of it. The online pass cost now 50% as much as the game.

Those are some crazy prices! I've got to get my hands on Uncharted 3. Never been too much of a GT fan but that XL edition at $20 seems to good a deal to pass up.

Sony has been pretty good with these discounts and such lately. Hope they keep it up. I already own the games I want from that vita list tho.

Did Twisted Metal end up being any good?

I would definitely recommend it if you plan to play mostly online or split-screen.

With the exception of the decent character stories and stylized cutscenes, the single player campaign is pretty bad.

We don't have "get out of jail free" cards, but if we did, she'd have one.
I misread the title as Sony Lowers MSRP on PS3 and Vita, and my heart skipped three beats. :(

...Anyway, guess they're trying to clear remaining stock on some of these collections so retailers have room for some of those OTHER collections. Makes some sense.

The split-screen cooperative is definitely the highlight of the package, but I thought the single player campaign had some nice variety. Nostalgia definitely fuels the love you can have for the single player, though.

In for the Jak collection, those are good ports right?

Is the GT5 XL edition the best version of GT5? wasn't there a new better version coming up?

I've played every single console Twisted Metal game ever produced, and I was still extremely disappointed by the campaign. I mean, when I play Twisted Metal, all I really want is fast-paced vehicular combat. Racing other cars, playing pinball, and using a helicopter's magnet to dump scrap metal on the head of a boss isn't exactly what I was looking for.

The gameplay was still solid, though, which is why I still had a tonne of fun playing multiplayer.

Ah well, to each their own. Did you try split screen cooperative or stick to competitive for "couch multiplayer?"

And yeah, the gameplay was top-notch.

Thank glob for those Vita prices.

I've been dying to pick up Uncharted and Unit 13, but 50/40 dollars each was still a little iffy to me. 60 dollars for both is quite acceptable.
