Greatest Hits are
video games for the North American
Sony PlayStation,
PlayStation 2,
PlayStation 3, and
PlayStation Portable consoles that have been officially re-released at a lower price by Sony. While the term "Greatest Hits" only applies to selections in
America, equivalent programs exist in
PAL territories (as "
Essentials"),
Japan and
Asia (as "
The Best"), Korea (as "
BigHit Series"), and in Brazil ("
Favoritos"). The program parallels other budget range software by Sega ("
Sega All Stars"), Nintendo ("
Nintendo Selects"), and Microsoft ("
Platinum Hits" and "
Xbox Classics") to promote
best-selling games on their consoles as well. Typical for marketing labels like Greatest Hits and Xbox Classics, games with these type of labels often include updates updating glitches of the original game, and sometimes even extra features.
