Call of Duty®: Black Ops

The PlayStation Network Unleashes Ultimate Editions for One Week OnlyProving once again that it pays to wait when it comes to the hottest PlayStation 3 games, today Sony is launching Ultimate Editions, a selection of hit PS3 titles bundled with all of their downloadable content for one low price. How much would you pay for complete editions of Red Dead Redemption, BioShock 2, or L.A. Noire?


They're like Game of the Year editions, only downloadable. Today through June 4, PlayStation 3 owners can hop onto the PlayStation Network and purchase more-or-less complete editions of some of the hottest older games on the console for 30 percent off what all the bits would have cost individually. For a DLC-heavy game like Motorstorm Apocalypse, scoring the whole shebang for $50.49 isn't too shabby.


Of course it's even better when you're a PlayStation Plus member. Then the bundles are 50 percent off, dropping that Call of Duty: Black Ops Ultimate Edition from $66.46 to $46.54. Maybe it's finally time I look into hooking up a year of PlayStation Plus.


Here's the full list of Ultimate Editions going up today.


  • Red Dead Redemption with Legends and Killers, Liars and Cheats and Undead Nightmare — $27.99 ($19.59 for PlayStation Plus)
  • InFAMOUS 2 Complete Edition — $33.99 ($23.79 for PlayStation Plus)
  • BioShock 2 with Exclusive Character Pack, Minerva's Den, The Protector Trials, Rapture Metro and Sinclair Solutions — $27.99 ($19.59 for PlayStation Plus)
  • MotorStorm Apocalypse — $50.49 ($35.34 for PlayStation Plus)
  • Call of Duty: Black Ops with First Strike, Escalation, Annihilation and Rezurrection Packs — $66.49 ($46.54 for PlayStation Plus)
  • L.A. Noire: The Complete Edition — $27.99 ($19.59 for PlayStation Plus)
  • Mafia II with Betrayal of Jimmy, Greaser Pack, Jimmy's Vendetta, Joe's Adventure, Renegade Pack, Vegas Pack and Hero Pack — $20.99 ($14.69 for PlayStation Plus)
  • Just Cause 2 Ultimate Edition - $20.99 ($14.69 for PlayStation Plus)
  • Mortal Kombat with the Warrior Bundle and Klassic Skins Pack 1 — $34.99 ($24.49 for PlayStation Plus)

L.A. Noire

Think about it: L.A. Noire should work on a tablet. Rockstar's 2011 crime drama essentially updates the old-school adventure game formula that has players going places and clicking on items. A natural for conversion to a tablet, right? Well, yes… and no.


OnLive's still chasing the somewhat counterintuitive dream of bringing hardcore AAA video games onto portable smartdevices. The video above shows Kotaku intern Nick Vanucci taking on the OnLive tablet version of L.A. Noire. You'll see that the touch controls work great in some places and utterly fail in other places. Should you play the adventures of detective Cole Phelps on a tablet if you haven't played them on console? Watch the video above before you make a decision.
