Kingdom Hearts -HD 1.5 ReMIX- is now one of PS3's Greatest Hits

[Gexus]

Haven't yet purchased Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMIX? Square Enix and Disney definitely want to change that, now that it's available as one of PS3's Greatest Hits for $19.99.

The HD collection, containing remastered versions of Kingdom Hearts: Final Mix and Re:Chain of Memories, along with cinematics from 358/2 Days, was released last year and clearly sold well enough to warrant a stamp as one of the PS3's best.

If you still haven't given it a go, then now's as good a time as any as Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMIX, the second HD collection, releases in December for North America and Europe on the PS3.

If you'd like to get the Japanese version next month, you should check out this article where we have compiled a list of websites where you can order the game.

Awesome! Not too surprising, of course, but still awesome. I may just have to pick this up... Even though I own all of the games, part of me has always wanted to own them with that label on the front, so we'll see.

That's awesome! The series has still got it!

I WOULD buy this if I could (especially considering I want an actual case instead of the artbook/case hybrid), but I can't afford it with 2.5 coming.

What does it take for a game to receive the "Greatest Hits" label?

What does it take for a game to receive the "Greatest Hits" label?

For a PS3 game, it needs to have been on the market for at least 10 months and it has to sell 500.000 copies or more.

The weirdest thing is that I was in a Gamestop just 2 days ago and the copies there weren't labeled with the Greatest Hits moniker. Granted, I preordered it months in advance, so I already had it at launch, but it was notable since I hadn't found any copies new or used since the launch date.

Anyway, that's cool that it is a Greatest Hits now. The game really does deserve it.

Also, it's nice to see that they still have the red label instead of that oh-so-lovely green label that was on the old PSX titles. My copies of Final Fantasies VII and IX have that sick green color...

Great, now I have to decide whether to get KH2.5 as soon as it drops so I can play it over Christmas break, or wait for a couple months and get it at half the price

Well, stores have to sell their stock of the older prints first before they will get the new ones with the red label.

I mean $39.99 is already a REALLY low price for two full games and 2 hours of new story content via Re:coded.

If 1.5 is a hit, imagine how big 2.5 will be!

 

[Launchpad]

Probably less of one, I'm going to assume?

 

[ajmrowland]

2.5 will be a greatest hits title. That's undeniable.

It's all still better than the ugly yellow we get here in Europe

 

[gamerobber7]

This is great news! Glad to see how well KH is still doing.

Oh god...I just saw that for Metal Gear Solid 4. That looks awful...

Anyway, to quote The Great Clement, "But I digress." I think Kingdom Hearts I.5 ReMIX managing to be part of the Greatest Hits library is awesome. II.5 ReMIX is most likely going to make that, too considering its lineup of games.

 

[Gexus]

I agree, and I hope they get to reach as many people as possible with these games. Making already cheap HD collections even cheaper and more accessible is nothing but good news.

I just bought this game last week and I've got the greatest hits edition, huh. Nice to see it's recieved that status though.

 

[WanPisu]

Still haven't picked up an English copy of the game. Perhaps I'll import a Greatest Hits-edition when it's time, unless I feel like having the normal edition. Platinum looks pretty bad.

It's just kind of tedious, though certainly not as bad as it could have been.

 

[Dentim]

The fact that you have to play the games on every difficulty instead of just getting the trophies for the lower ones when finish Proud is stupid though.

I was really suprised when I found out that 1.5 had exceed 1b sales. Collections aren't that famous. It really deserves to be in the greatest hits!!
