Saints Row Gets Platinum Bling

THQ has proudly announced that the open-world action game Saints Row has been added to Microsoft's Platinum Hits line, meaning would-be gang bangers can now pick up the title for $29.99. The game was released just nine months ago to critical and commercial praise and helped convince THQ to raise its fiscal 2007 earnings forecast by $25 million.

"Achieving Platinum Hits status in just nine months is a tribute to Volition's talented development team, and we look forward to leveraging their proprietary open-world engine to continue pushing the genre forward," said Bob Aniello, senior VP of worldwide marketing, THQ.
