Owning some of the more well-rounded titles on the PlayStation Portable is going to get a little cheaper in a few weeks.  On April 5th, Sony will be adding ten new PSP titles to their Greatest Hits collection, and some of the titles getting a price drop are now officially being moved into the "Must Own" category.

Here's a list of what's being dropped in price.  All games will see new Greatest Hits branding on their box art, as well as a permanent price reduction to $19.99.

• Fight Night Round 3
• God of War: Chains of Olympus
• Medal of Honor Heroes 2
• Mortal Kombat: Unchained
• Patapon
• SOCOM U.S. Navy SEALs: Tactical Strike
• Sonic Rivals 2
• SpongeBob SquarePants: The Yellow Avenger
• Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter® 2
• Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six® Vegas

Now, we have to admit, we're a little surprised (pleasantly so) to see Chains of Olympus on the list, considering that it's practically a system seller in its own right. If you're a PSP owner, there's really no reason to NOT own the game.  And although Patapon is already priced at $19.99, we're glad to see it getting a little more recognition. If you haven't played Patapon yet, you're missing out on one of the best PlayStation Portable games in 2008.  Mixing cute art styles with a rhythm based game masquerading as a platform title... well, it's just sheer genius.

But let's be honest.  The crowning achievement here is the SpongeBob SquarePants game.  We're already debating picking up a third copy, just in case our first two die on us.
