To my knowledge, it might be Insomniac's new R&C title, Q-Force (or Full Frontal Assault as it's getting called over there), but I'm not entirely sure. All I know is, it's gonna be a download only title in the US and both download and physical over here.

Sounds great I never played the PS2 titles so this is a great opportunity to play these...in HD.

That reminds me, I need to get a Crack in Time. I only have TOD and QFB.

You can pre-order the game at GameStop for $29.99 now...

Are they in 720p or 1080p? Cuz, I've read that it's in both on different sites.

1080p/60fps normally.

720p/30fps for 3D.

I'm still waiting for this to come through the post, but thats ok as I've nearly completed ACIT and I have the Sly Cooper Collection to play.

I could never understand why one place only has the digital download version whilst the other has both.

Fortunately its on disc so I'll be going with the disc version. Hopefully the game isn't as short as QFB.

Anyone getting this to play in the US?

I would get this, but I have to be sure that it's not region locked. Most games are not region locked (in fact none from 2006 - 2011 were to the best of my knowledge) . However, Persona 4 Arena was one of the few games that was region locked.

It most certainly should be region free. If it was, we'd have heard of it by now (like in P4:A's case).

If I can get it for a real good deal Ill get it, but I suspect I will be better served waiting for the US release.

It will not let me purchase from amazon uk! anyone in the uk wanna pick
This up for me?

I was excited to get this, but after playing the Jak and Daxter HD collection I am having second thoughts.

I enjoyed Tools of Destruction and Crack in Time, but I am absolutely annoyed playing the Jak and Daxter collection.

In J&D it was just absolute frustration with all the jumping puzzles and the fact that it wouldn't double jump half the time. Not to mention odd camera angles that would get you killed. I am going to get the plat for the first game and not even bother playing the 2nd and 3rd since I heard they are worse.

My question is:

Is the Ratchet and Clank collection more along the lines of Tools of Destruction or if I was miserable playing the J&D collection I should avoid this?

Ratchet and Clank is an entirely different beast from Jak and Daxter. While J+D is pure platforming, R+C is also a shooter at heart. You probably won't have many problems with it.

I enjoyed Tools of Destruction and Crack in Time and was able to play them without issue or without being too frustrated so I will probably keep R&C.

I didn't care for cit all that much. I hope they do the same with the psp games.
