Yet another E3 announcement (well, two really): Sony is launching a Greatest Hits line for the PlayStation 3, as they did years previous with the PS2 to the delight of gamers and soccer moms alike.

Steinberg, vice president of product marketing, Sony Computer Entertainment America. "We are dedicated to driving the industry forward leveraging our technology and development resources to offer consumers a wide variety of innovative titles, from casual games to hardcore games."

So, behold, a list of budget titles to look forward to:

• Siren: Blood Curse (July 24, $9.99)
• Ratchet & Clank: Quest for Booty (Q3)
• Pixeljunk Eden
• flOwer
• Fat Princess
