Sony of America announced today that the first “Greatest Hits” for the PSP are now available.  PSP owners can pick from five of Sony’s first-party titles – [i]Ape Escape: On the Loose[/i], [i]ATV Off-road Fury: Blazin' Trails[/i], [i]Hot Shots Golf: Open Tee[/i], [i]Twisted Metal: Head On[/i], or [i]Wipeout Pure[/i] – for $19.99 SRP.  

“The PSP system has truly arrived with the launch of its Greatest Hits collection, which we expect will drive consumer interest in the device and strong hardware growth, just as the Greatest Hits programs have done for other PlayStation platforms,” said Peter Dille, Senior Vice President, Marketing, Sony Computer Entertainment America.  “Summer is typically the industry’s lightest season for new titles, so releasing the PSP Greatest Hits now benefits many consumers who find themselves with more downtime, whether they’re on a plane headed on a vacation or simply trying to beat the heat at home.”  

Later this year, third-party games will become Greatest Hits also, the list will include [i]Lumines[/i], [i]Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition[/i], [i]Star Wars Battlefront II[/i], [i]Tony Hawk's Underground 2 Remix[/i], and [i]Untold Legends: Brotherhood of the Blade[/i].
