Is their a difference with skate 3 platinum hits and regular skate 3, besides the price?

Platinum hits has an extra video or a special skater to unlock. Not really worth it. Skate 3 is just about the same .

wtf is right. why is this going for almost 3x it's regular price? surely there is a new and improved version out there (which normally makes the price of the older model go DOWN). does anyone know?

We don't have them for our 3 daughters that all have this skate or a competing brand. They are 3, 6, & 8. With that said we also only use them at the Rollar Skating rink. If our girls where to use them outside we probably would get them. Hope this helps.

The only difference is the color combination. Piano is offered in the Platinum Series.Thanks for your inquiry.Regards,HIDEF

I honestly don't know, if I were you go to a skate shop "GOOGLE " or go to the mall they usually have 1 there and ask them, this was my 1st board that's why I bought mine complete and ready, but I'm already looking to buy another board this time I'm looking for wheels that'll spin a lot more freely so's I can coast a lot longer, sorry I couldn't have been more help ...

both are quality boards. My daughter has both. Pros for Penny: My daughter feels that Penny is smoother and a bit faster. Another plus for Penny is that you can customize just about any part of Penny board using customizer on their website. Last but not least plus for Penny is that it is infinitely easier to find spare parts. Pros for EightBit: EightBit is less expensive. EightBit flexes less (not sure if it is a pro, but I'd imagine it is a good thing). And finally a real life situation: My daughter's EightBit board was run over by a large SUV. All it lost was rear wheels with top hanger of a truck. Otherwise the board doesn't have any damage or cracks. And we're talking about weight of several tons! But its been at least a couple of months since I have contacted EightBits about this situation and provide the photos of the board and they have sent me only the wheels (free, which is nice, even though I didn't ask it to be free), but they still have not sent a truck assembly (or top hanger) because, and I'm quoting, "I'm sorry, we've had a hard time finding a replacement truck. If one comes up I will let you know. I apologize for the inconvenience.". So, a manufacturer having hard time finding a replacement truck? Seriously??!

There is a difference. The standard Platinum (3m 1171) will be more runny and have more pinholes and takes much more effort sanding than the Platinum Plus (3m 1131).

I have not compared the 3 vs single layer. But i believe the advantage with the 3 is. You will be able to get more adjustment. It will inflate higher, giving you more traction.

The Platinum model 1 has a piano black housing and a brighter face than the model 1. There is no difference in sound quality as far as I could tell. The platinum 1, in my opinion, is much better looking.

It's depends on who you're buying from and what they already have pre-loaded. Since these are used older machines it will differ. I would continue to shop around.

friend has monster ovals and his opinion my tri ovals are a little louder than his. monsters have a much deeper sound which I like, but price is way to high...happy with the tri ovals hope that helps

The difference isn't huge. Essentially the KP3+ has a few more effects built into it. But thats about the only difference between the two. Personally I use the extra effects a lot, so I would advice to get the KP3+, but it depends a lot on what it's going to be used for and if it justifies the higher price or not.

IDK either ... I bought it and got the standard version. I do not see much difference except for the metal on the pedals which maybe makes them more durable. I use the pedals with Windows XP as my OS; the interface of my pedals is USB, the Saitek Drivers get the pedals into my computer and Saitek includes a program to check that the pedals are working. BUT to get the pedal info into any running program they have to be linked to the Windows Device Manager by going to the Control Panel and Clicking on Game Controllers, then clicking on ADD then scroll down to Saitek and select it.I made a screen shot but Amazon does not give me a way to attach it to this e-mail.

From friends of mine who've had both (and also advised me to purchase this product. The number of upgrades are quite numerous and some of the best ones are subtle (like huge improvements to the interaction of strokes to emulate a real brush/pen feel for example.) From where I am sitting, I would say that it is very much worth the upgrade. In case you're still curious as to what all is actually different, here's a link to a list of what each version has. http://manga.smithmicro.com/comparison.html

Yes! Having built with both, I cannot tell the difference. I weighed the pros and cons and took a chance and am glad I bought them. My kids 3 and 6 love them. You get more and the cost is less and the quality the same.

I don't know if there is really a big difference. I bought the 5 series because the replacement heads for the 3 series were getting hard to find.

Yes. The biggest difference is detail and the platinum has several maps in 3D.
