Greatest Hits (PlayStation)

Greatest Hits is a branding used by Sony Interactive Entertainment for discounted reprints of PlayStation video games.

Sony Computer Entertainment America introduced the program for PlayStation in March 1997 and the first releases were Battle Arena Toshinden, NFL GameDay, NHL FaceOff, Twisted Metal and Warhawk.

[4] When the program came to PlayStation 2 in 2002, games could become Greatest Hits titles after selling at least 400,000 copies and being on the market for at least nine months.

A PlayStation 3 game must be on the market for 10 months and sell at least 500,000 copies to meet the Greatest Hits criteria.

As with PS3 Greatest Hits releases, they feature red-colored packaging and a red banner on their box art and disc.

Noteworthy examples of this are the Greatest Hits special editions of Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening,[9] Dragon Ball Z: Budokai 3, Heavy Rain,[10] Jet Moto 2,[11] The Lost World: Jurassic Park, Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition,[12] Midnight Club Los Angeles,[12] Silent Hill 2, Virtua Fighter 4: Evolution,[13] and Spyro: Year of the Dragon, which were enhanced significantly from their original releases with added characters, levels, modes, features, etc.
