Well, the idea I have of this is that they release the game with a price of, let's say, 50 € then, when they feel like it, they re-release this game as its platinum edition; they may add a demo, a video, or whatever, so that sales go up again... I don't really know, this is just my opinion...

Platinum is when the makers stop making originals of the game, say FF7. Its nearly impossible to find an original now so they start making Platinum Editions. There is no Difference between the original and the Platinum

its Hard to explain but i think thats how it goes

Yeah, Platinum editions are just the same game rehashed at a cheaper price.
