Midway announced today that
Mortal Kombat: Deception has shipped as a
Greatest Hits title for the
PlayStation 2 and as a
Platinum Hits title for the
Xbox. As a new addition to these prominent programs,
Mortal Kombat: Deception will be re-distributed with new packaging at a suggested retail price of
$19.99.

By definition, a title earning the
Greatest Hits and/or
Platinum Hits distinction requires that a company manufacture more than
400,000 units per respective platform during its first nine months on store shelves. In total,
Mortal Kombat: Deception has shipped in excess of
1.9 million units worldwide since its release in
October 2004.
