Thank you, Sony. You've just given me a great reason to boot up my PS3 over the course of the Summer. Well, it's not like I was going to spend three months without playing my PS3, but at least now I can rock some contemporary classics.

Six new games have received the "Greatest Hits" banner and pricing. Each of these games checks in at $29.99; which, coincidentally, is just what the doctor ordered.

Those titles receiving the treatment? Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction, Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, Devil May Cry 4, Gran Turismo 5 Prologue, Army of Two and Battlefield: Bad Company.

I only recently picked up my PS3, and of the lot listed above I've only played Ratchet & Clank. Which, if you'd like to know, quickly moved into being one of my favorite platformer/adventure experiences ever.

But Metal Gear, you've beckoned me for far too long to be ignored. I'll be picking you up this summer, Snake. Patience.

These titles will be available starting June 16th.
