Coming November, MS are releasing the “Classics” range that offers big selling games at a bargain price. Perfect Dark Zero is included in the launch of this range, and it comes with some nice bonuses. Included in the game are six maps, for free.

The first four maps included are those from Map Pack One, already available on the Marketplace for 500MS Points. The last two maps are extra special. Facility and Ruin, two of the most popular maps on the original version, will also be included, with the obvious touch up here and there. Anyone that loved the original Perfect Dark will have fond memories when they boot these up again. The maps will be released on the Marketplace in November, but pricing details currently aren’t mentioned.

The pricing is still yet to be set for the new range, and it seems the name isn’t either. From IGN:

Perfect Dark Zero has sold more than one million copies. In Early November, Microsoft celebrates with the release Perfect Dark Zero Platinum Hits Edition.

So does this mean that there is going to be the Classic version, a Platinum version and the original version all available to buy? That will confuse Gran at Christmas. Either that, or MS listened to the fact that the Classic packaging looks bloody awful, and dominates the box far too much. Perhaps they quite like the name of Sony’s budget range and decided to copy it? Who knows!

Is that the name of the range though…

The pricing of the range also hasn’t been mentioned, but expect retailers to have them at the same price as any other: £19.99. This is assuming the range goes on sale for $19.99, because when comparing the PS2 Platinum range, all their games are £20 or less.

Finally, there is also an auto-update coming as well, which apparently fixes a known glitch where people go to cover, but end up in the walls and all over the place across the map. This will soon be fixed.
