New Xbox, PS2 Budget Titles Announced

Thanks to GameSpot for their list of the newest set of budget Xbox titles "in the second wave of Platinum Hits". The titles that already have, or shortly will retail for $19.99 include Dead Or Alive 3, Hitman 2, and Medal Of Honor: Frontline. There also seem to be some new additions to the extensive PlayStation 2 Greatest Hits line-up due, although it's difficult to officially verify, with Final Fantasy X (currently), plus Sly Cooper, Ratchet And Clank, and Kingdom Hearts (in the next couple of months) all apparently dropping to $19.99.

Specifics on PS2 Greatest Hits

I didn't post this in the article, cos I had to find it from a few different sources, but:

This thumbnail index on EBGames.com clearly has a red-striped Greatest Hits version of the Kingdom Hearts box. The Kingdom Hearts page used to have it too, but they changed it back.

Also, last month Amazon.com accidentally released Greatest Hits packaging for Ratchet & Clank, Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus, ATV Offroad Fury 2, SOCOM: US Navy SEALs. I also found an obscure release list or two listing Sly Cooper for Greatest Hits release in September.

If anyone can find all of this info in one place, with actual release dates, it'd be great.

Halo?

Hasn't Halo sold enough copies to be a platinum title? Or is Microsoft just refusing to deem it such because they still sell too many copies at $49.99 and dont want to lose $30 in potential revenues?
