Essentials is the Sony PlayStation budget range in the PAL region, which covers Europe, the Middle East, Asia-Pacific and Africa. It was launched in January 1997 as the Platinum range but was later renamed for PSP in 2010 and PlayStation 3 in 2012. Similar budget ranges from Sony include the ''Greatest Hits'' and ''The Best'' labels for the North American and Japanese markets, respectively. Platinum Range titles were recognisable by a platinum/silver coloured band on the game's casing. This band runs along the top of the case's front. In old PlayStation 2 platinum games it is also common for the silver band to act as a border and to contain the game's original cover, which is shrunk to fill about 75% of the platinum cover. The PlayStation logo is repeated twice on the front case, once on the platinum border, and once on the original game's case. The new PlayStation 2 platinum games feature a new layout. They have a black border, and silver outlines around the shrunk original game cover. There is also a red orb located at the bottom of the original game cover with the words Platinum on it. The platinum band can also be seen on the manual. The PlayStation 3 Platinum range box art replaces the black background of the PlayStation 3 logo on the left with a yellow background, and has the original box art shrunk slightly, with a gray border, and a yellow rectangle on top of it, with 'Platinum' written in black. PlayStation and PlayStation 2 platinum game discs do not feature any of the original game disc's design, it is replaced with a simple silver design, which, along with the copyright notices around the edges, feature the game's name in the center surrounded by a black outline. PlayStation Portable platinum games use the original games disc design whilst PlayStation 3 platinum games use the original disc design with a platinum design on the disc. To become a Platinum release it was required that a game have over 400,000 total worldwide sales after generally one year on the market〔(PlayStation Games & Media News: - PS2 goes Platinum: Part 1 )〕 (PAL region sales in particular; games that sell over 400,000 units in another region alone, such as Japan or the U.S., do not necessarily qualify for a Platinum title). For PlayStation 2 and PlayStation Portable releases, there is no specific target required to achieve Platinum status as indicated by (SCEE Press Releases ) and the discrepancies between the Platinum status of specific titles and their chart performance. After reaching the required level of sales, Sony often dropped the prices of the original title to Platinum pricing levels (generally about half of the original retail price), as a way to clear inventory for retailers. The Platinum distinction has since been extended to the PSP (however since 2010 they have been renamed ''PSP Essentials'') and the PlayStation 3. The first PS3 titles were released on August 1, 2008. ==PlayStation titles== *''007 Racing'' *''Ace Combat 3: Electrosphere'' *''Actua Soccer'' *''Adidas Power Soccer'' *''Air Combat'' *''Alien Trilogy'' *''Alone in the Dark: Jack is Back'' *''Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare'' *''Ape Escape'' *''Atlantis: The Lost Empire'' *''A Bug's Life'' *''Battle Arena Toshinden'' *''Bust-A-Move 2'' *''C-12: Final Resistance'' *''Chase the Express'' *''Colin McRae Rally'' *''Colin McRae Rally 2.0'' *''Colony Wars'' *''Colony Wars: Red Sun'' *''Command & Conquer'' *''Command & Conquer: Red Alert'' *''Command & Conquer: Red Alert: Retaliation'' *''Cool Boarders 2'' *''Cool Boarders 3'' *''Cool Boarders 4'' *''Crash Bandicoot'' *''Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back'' *''Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped'' *''Crash Team Racing'' *''Crash Bash'' *''Croc: Legend of the Gobbos'' *''Dancing Stage EuroMix'' *''Dancing Stage PARTY EDiTiON'' *''Destruction Derby'' *''Destruction Derby 2'' *''Destruction Derby Raw'' *''Die Hard Trilogy'' *''Digimon World'' *''Dino Crisis 2'' *''Dinosaur *''Disney's Action Game Featuring Hercules'' *''Disney's Tarzan'' *''Disney's Treasure Planet'' *''Donald Duck: Quack Attack'' *''Doom'' *''Driver'' *''Driver 2'' *''F1 Championship Season 2000'' *''Fade to Black'' *''FIFA: Road to World Cup 98'' *''FIFA '99'' *''FIFA 2000'' *''FIFA 2001'' *''Final Fantasy VII'' *''Final Fantasy VIII'' *''Final Fantasy IX'' *''Formula 1'' *''Formula 1 97'' *''Formula One 2001'' *''G-Police'' *''Gran Turismo'' *''Gran Turismo 2'' *''Grand Theft Auto'' *''Heart of Darkness'' *''In Cold Blood'' *''International Track & Field'' *''International Superstar Soccer Pro'' *''ISS Pro Evolution'' *''The Italian Job'' *''Loaded'' *''The Lost World: Jurassic Park'' *''Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver'' *''Lucky Luke'' (France only) *''Medal of Honor'' *''Medal of Honor: Underground'' *''MediEvil'' *''MediEvil 2'' *''Metal Gear Solid'' *''Mickey's Wild Adventure'' *''Micro Machines V3'' *''Monsters, Inc.
