Sony Announces the “PlayStation Collections”

Update: Sony has clarified that both the God of War and inFamous Collections will retail for $40 and not $30.

Sony has just announced a slew of game collections for the PS3 called "PlayStation Collections." The games getting this treatment are inFamous, Ratchet & Clank and God of War…yep, God of War already had an HD collection released but this is a bit different.

First up, the Ratchet & Clank Collection will include all first three games for the franchise but updated with shiny HD graphics and Trophy support.

The inFamous Collection will include the following:

• inFAMOUS
• inFAMOUS 2
• inFAMOUS: Festival of Blood
• Extra missions
• Additional character costumes, power ups and weapon styles

If you think that's impressive, the God of War Saga will include five games straight out of the box.

• God of War
• God of War II
• God of War III
• God of War: Origins Collection (which includes God of War: Chains of Olympus and God of War: Ghost of Sparta)
• Exclusive Bonus Content
• Voucher For 1 Trial Month of PlayStation Plus
• Remastered for HD, DUALSHOCK Control, Full PlayStation Network Trophy Support and 3D (3D supported only in God of War III and God of War: Origins Collection)

Theses collections will be priced at $29.99 each. In addition to a retail release, Sony has also announced that the collections will be available on the PSN Store day-and-date of its physical counterparts which is on August 28.

Not a bad price, no? If you've yet to play a God of War game, that's one package that's hard to beat.
