Ratchet & Clank: A Crack In Time Collector’s Edition

Nice.

I feel bad tho because ive never really been into the R&C series.. ive been more in to Jak & Daxter more then anything.

Nice – it’s not available in Germany I assume?

great to see a CE coming out for R&C, but I just want to verify that’s a cardboard box for it, as when I ordered the CE of infamous and it arrived damaged due to the *ahem* “careful hands” of the royal mail

If it’s cardboard I’ll be travelling to a local GAME store instead.

Overread the “more countries TBC part” – so there’s hope.

30 Oct. still the release date?

Any chance of this coming to the Middle East/UAE? Would buy this in a second! When’s it coming out in Europe anyways?

Can’t see Poland on this list. I hope that it will be available here. Want it! Very much!

I hate cardboxes. They get deteriorate pretty fast, and the box looks annoying to open. I’ll stick with the standard edition…

Hey Kevin

I just preordered this from play.com yesterday coincidently

On their page it says that they are offering the Discovery pack along with the 3 others from the US blog.

http://www.play.com/Games/PlayStation3/4-/10502363/Ratchet-Cl ank-A-Crack-In-Time/Product.html

Is that just a typo and the Discovery pack is actually exclusive to the collectors edition?

The Discovery pack is the one I really wanted

i’m a big fan of the R&C series and can’t wait to play this next one looks and sounds really kools.

i just have one question will we see any playstation home conent from the game other then the outfit u can redeem from a pre-order at Play.com

thanks.

How come, games like new Uncharted, Fifa 10 and Ratchet are still being released with old cover style im already bored with, especially when i see how cool US Uncharted 2 looks like?
Is Europe stuck with the old covers forever, or is it about to change anytime soon?

great thanks, ordered this the other day:)

is there 2 artbooks?? as in that pic?

Aw damn, it’s GAME exclusive? Overpricing, thy name is GAME

Will “suffer” with the peasants Normal edition, thank you very much :p

Also, this is still using the original cover design with PLAYSTATION down the side. Does that mean we’re keeping the original design or was this cover finalised and sent to print before the redesign?

Hope we keep the original design as my OCD is already finding the new PEGI ratings hard to bear! Think I’ll go insane if the entire packaging changes too

@ matthew_117

I’d also like to know:)

Kevin will the insominiac moon become available as DLC at any point as i have ordered from play to get the 3 packages and dont want to pay for two games just to get a pack

also will the game have any multiplayer combat either offline or online

aww i wanted it to come with a plushie ratchet

Please!!! Patch first Ratchet with trophies, now they just finished the game, they can do it, and know how to.

Hi Kevin could you please tell us when we will start to see in europe the PS3 games with new re-branded PS3 logo on the box and blu-ray disc?…
Thanks

Can i possibly ask sony to stop doing exclusive deals with special editions in the UK, or if you really have to can you not choose the most expensive retailer.

Thanks.

PRE-ORDERED!

oh anything about a solid release date? i haven’t heard anything?

replace end ? with a . Facepalm Shame on myself

Cool stuff. Though it comes out just a bit soon after Uncharted 2 for me to afford it just yet. Still got some reward points on my GAME account but not enough. Used some to get Uncharted 2 Special Edition for £32.49. I’m looking forward to playing this though. Enjoyed Tools and Booty muchly but I haven’t played any of the PS2 ones. Kinda hope they’ll do a God of War and release the PS2 games in a new pack for PS3 with HD res and trophies.

thanks Kevin, very quick:)

just one more question, is there a certain date that the new box arts come in or are they just being filtered in? also, why has the us got the new box art on RACACIT but the EU hasn’t?

Awesome! this has been on the GAME website for a couple of weeks now, glad we finally get some official details from SCEE though.

“Finland – Available everywhere”

AWESOME! Can’t wait.

thanks a gain Kevin, I can understnad the issues with countries etc.

just one more question, what is the RRP? thanks:)

Wow a collector’s edition announcement on the EU blog?! That rarely ever happens, it’s normally the US that gets all the collectors edition love!

I’m glad there is only one version, I hate this recent trend of juggling features depending which retailer you go with! Plus I’ve always had a soft spot for 3D lenticular covers!

You’ve just made yourself a sale, although I’ll probably “send it off to Santa” so I don’t have to pay for it myself Uncharted 2 will keep me ticking over in the mean time.

P.S. You may be able to answer this being a “SCEE Product Manager”, why did SCEE take the decision not to relaunch the PS3 game boxes with the new PS3 branding in the same way they did in the US? Are there any plans to do this down the line or are SCEE sticking with the full name spiderman font logo?

Re above, never mind, I’ve just seen that you’ve already answered the question!!!

Looks great except for the case being made out of cardboard.

I’m sure you are aware but the inFamous collector’s edition was the same but it gets damaged so easily either getting the game out of the box or via it being sent via the post.

If you could going forward stray away from cardboard releases we as customers could breathe a huge sigh of relief.

thanks for the reply kevin shame its one player but its understandable cant have too many captain quarks floating around in space now althouh theres one thing i would love too see return to the franchise and that would be the captain quark comic minigames they were so much fun to play

i also has one more question the playstation home outfit is it the same as the 07 version or is it completely diffrent ?

thanks once again dude

What about Ireland?

@33 ireland will probably come under the UK deal geographically and if i remember ireland does have GAME so it will probably come under the UK deal

Very cool! I, for one, love collector’s editions.

here you go kevin the link is below

http://boardsus.playstation.com/playstation/board/message?board.id =ps3home&message.id=702301#M702301

that will take you to the picture of the 07 version of the suit although i think it may have been mere promotional back then but i wonder if it will be the same suit or will it be completely diffrent

do’h the link has broke

here is a tiny url link to it kevin

Thanks for my reply glad to see more Home content coming from games.

as for future R&C would like to see some kind of multiplayer would be nice or even a co-op mode

Nice! Glad to hear they’re available everywhere in Finland.

I wish we could have gotten that Uncharted 2 Collector’s Edition

love that cover, is that cover special edition exclusive or is it for all the editions of the game

:O now thats teasing kevin

i want it to be the ratchet costume would go well in the ratchet and clank space too

cmon you know you want it to be ratchet too your inner gamer agrees

:O cant beileve no one has said this yet

hello all the insomniac people reading this blog

hi imsomniac peeps, we want mp/ co-op:)

also, you may have missed it Kevin, but what is the RRP for this £49.99?

Where can we get the info of where the CE will be sold in Ireland? When you guys find out that is

sweet its coming to saudi arabia any idea of the release date?

just had a idea for a future game of R&C how bout using the new motion control to maybe have a boss battle using a giant wrench to WACK him with lol

You made the Insomniac Museum (which has been a sort of hidden puzzle the previous games, or the first 3 at least) exclusive to one shop?? Not just one shop, but the most expensive on the market?

Umm. No. Just no.

Thank you Kevin

Very nice edition, I hope some of it arrives to Iraq (as here in Iraq the stores import PS3 games from UAE & China) & I thought you were going to show the whole package & the stuff inside in the video, hope we’ll see more in the future.
