This week's ELSPA official UK game sales chart, as compiled by Chart-Track, sees Need for Speed Underground retaining the number one position ahead of The Simpsons: Hit & Run. There were no new entries this week, but the budget-priced platinum versions of both Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex and Medal of Honor Frontline did find their ways back into the top-20 at the expense of WWE SmackDown! Here Comes the Pain and Project Gotham Racing 2.
