Auckland, 3 July, 2006 – Sony Computer Entertainment New Zealand (SCENZ) today announced the new ‘Platinum®’ range for PSP® (PlayStation®Portable). The collection of Platinum games is now available in stores, offering consumers’ high quality PSP games from as little as $49.95 RRP.

I guess that Recommended Retail Price is for New Zealand Dollars. If such is the case, and Sony adopts the same things for the rest of the world, they should go around for 30$ (or 29.95$…).

The list of Platinum games isn’t too exciting, but there’s at least one or two that I definitely recommend getting:

• WipeOut™ Pure
• Pursuit Force®
• F1 Grand Prix™
• Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire™
• Everybody’s Golf®
• WRC®
• MediEvil®: Resurrection
• Ridge Racer®
• Need for Speed® Underground Rivals

Those being Wipeout and Ridge Racer. Or, if you’re more into action or sports get Pursuit Force and Everybody’s Golf. (I’m surprised there isn’t a football [soccer] game in the middle of those).
