If you've got a couple of dollar to spare - err - splurge, you might want to head off right away to the nearest Circuit City. Their promo prices are a very welcome deal, and at such a low price, we're sure the shelves are going to be cleared in a matter of days. Well, it is a clearance sale after all.

They're selling some games for US$17 a pop. Here's the list of titles:

• Lumines
• Death Jr.
• FIFA World Cup 2006
• Riiiiiiiidge Raaaaaacer
• SSX On Tour
• Street Fighter Alpha 3 Max
• Burnout Legends
• WWE Smackdown vs. Raw
• Mega Man: Powered Up
• Midway Arcade Treasures
• Namco Museum Battle Collection
• NBA Ballers Rebound
• Pinball Hall of Fame

So, go ahead and smash that piggy bank of yours. You never know until when the stocks will last. Cut back on the Krispy Kremes for now and save up some money. Consider this as an early Christmas gift to yourself.

E3 week is already upon us and news just keeps on flowing in. And this just in! Sony will be re-releasing the cash-cows for the PSP again. Or should we say, a collection of 'Platinum greatest hits' in Europe and Australia from 1st June 2006.

Commenting on the launch of Platinum, SCEE’s Vice President of Product Marketing, Simon Rutter said, “The Platinum collections have been hugely successful. Experienced gamers know that they are getting the pick of the crop with a Platinum title, and are doing so at a great price, while the Platinum collection on PSP provides the perfect entry route for those new to handheld gaming – an unbeatable combination!”

The "pack" includes some really good games like Everybody's Golf, WRC, and F1 Grand Prix. There's also Medievil Resurrection, Ridge Racer, Pursuit Force, plus a few really huge sellers like Virtua Tennis, WWE Smackdown vs Raw, Burnout Legends and Need For Speed Underground Rivals. And not to forget King Kong and Harry Potter & The Goblet of Fire

Quoting Mike Hayes (COO, Sega Europe), "We are absolutely delighted that the success of Virtua Tennis World Tour has made it eligible to join the PSP Platinum collection. As with previous Platinum collections, this brand represents a huge ‘seal of quality’ for the consumer. It is a great accolade and a ringing endorsement of the popularity of Virtua Tennis World Tour."

In that list are a few gems, which I myself love a lot. Let's just hope that their re-release is as good as the original one. And stay tuned for the latest news from E3.

Sony has announced five new PSP value packs that will be making their way to European stores everywhere. These new bundles have a price of about 250 Euros, and you'll even have a wide variety of games to choose from. The bundles will include one of five games, MediEvil Resurrection, Wipeout Pure, Pursuit Force, WRC, or Ridge Racer, each of which has its own specially designed box. Although there's no word yet as to whether or not these improved value packs will make their way to the States, there's a good possibility that we'll see a deal like this soon.
