Hi all,
My name is Kevin Smyth and I am the SCEE Product Manager for Ratchet & Clank: A Crack in Time.
I’d like to give you some details about the Collector’s Edition we have planned, and answer any questions you might have.
The Collector’s Edition will come in a special foldout digipack containing the following:
- A 3D lenticular cover – and this isn’t like the dinosaur ruler you had at school, this features new 3D technology and looks awesome. Check out the video which gives you taste of how it will look, although to get the full effect you will need to check it out in the flesh (and please excuse my foot in the background
)
- An Artwork Book with exclusive concept artwork handpicked by Insomniac.
- A PSN Voucher, exclusive to the Collector’s Edition in PAL regions. This allows you to download the stellar Discovery Package, which launches you over to the Insomniac Moon, a special level that resembles the layout of the Insomniac Games’ offices! Scattered through this museum-like level, you will discover a moon’s worth of extra content that didn’t quite make it into the game.
The Collector’s Edition is available in the following countries in the listed stores. Please note that this isn’t all of the countries it will be available in, as some details regarding who will be taking the Collector’s Edition are still TBC.
- UK – GAME exclusive
- France – Available everywhere
- Spain – Available everywhere
- Italy – Available everywhere
- Australia – TBC
- New Zealand – EB Games
- Belgium – Game Mania, Smartoys (CLD), PlayerOne (BEMS), Consoles Fan (Horelec), Multimedia Partner (MMS), IPG (gameshop), Supra Center, Media Markt, consoleshop.be
- Holland – Bart Smit, Intertoys, Dexcom, Rigu, Bol.com, Consoleshop.nl, Toys XL
- Norway – GameStop & Elkjøp
- Sweden – GameStop & Siba, Media Markt, CDON, Webhallen, Nextstop, Discshop
- Denmark – GameStop & Others TBC
- Finland – Available everywhere

Hi,
There is a GameStop store where I live. Is the Collector’s Edition the same there as it is on Play.com or are there differences? Does those packages come in the GameStop Collector’s Edition too?

I am buying this Collector’s Edition, but is it not very good protected? I could get it at GameStop, but then there’s not 100% certain that I’ll get the Collector’s Edition. Or I could order it at CDON, which has it for a very good price. But if I do that, could it get damaged through the post?

hmmm it looks really nice but I am a bit strapped for cash. Will stock of the collectors edition run out or will it be restocked for christmas? I will only be able to get it as a christmas present but its not near enough to ask for it as my parents will just forget right away lol.

if i am right the collector edition has a metal box? like resident evil 5 and some special edition blu ray movies? or is it just like bioshock, a normal package with a kinda sleeve around it? or just like all the other ps3 games, but then with a special print @ the front?
and i saw you saying that insomniac reads this forum. is it posible to download al the music of he game in the playstation store? and will there be any kind of downloadable content for this game (exept from that insomniac moon).
it would be wondefull if you could answer all my questions
(sorry for my bad english)

it would be awesome for Insomniac, now that they have finished this new R&C game, to go back and patch the Ratchett and clank tools of destruction and quest for booty with trophies. both of these games were absolutely brilliant, and i have reccomended them to some friends who are new PS3 adopters, but they wont have a bar of the older games because they dont have trophies.

May somebody(kevin smith) answer mee?

hi insomniac, i’ve played all your R&C games and i must say that i am impressed at your efforts.
For future R&C games i would like clank and ratchet to reunite, it feels different without clank on your back, a bit like R&C gladiator. Also i would like a different villain to make a comeback like gleeman vox or emperor takion the craigmite, it would also be great to see more lombaxes and perhaps even ratchets father. you always make astounding planets in R&C but they are quite short, personally i wouldn’t mind long levels but less planets.
Nevertheless you fail to disappoint me with your tremendous games, keep up the good work insomniac!
ps. who agrees?

I love Rachet and Clank and having just seen the new trailer at the store, I can’t wait to get the game! It is disappointing that the difference in price is OVER half the price of the regular edition. The most important thing I want to say is “THANK YOU ALL FOR THE MOST WONDERFUL GAME SERIES EVER!!” I’ll be 50 in 5 months and Rachet and Clank have literally saved my life. I have a severe chronic pain problem and I am waiting for a hip replacement and if it wasn’t for Rachet and Clank the pain would have driven me mad by now. I for one appreciate the hard work and effort that has gone into creating this series and keeping it going like you have. Every game has only gotten better and better and I cannot wait to see this newest game. You all are brilliant!!!THANK YOU!!!

Posted on 30 October, 2009 at 9:30 pm by ringses
I have this preordered at play.com because I wanted the 3 packages they were offering but now I have seen this I think I want the special edition more, will the items that are offered in the preorder packages be unlocked in the game anyway or are they exclusive to the preorder????? I would be really grateful for a reply so I can cancel my order and order this if they are in the game anyway. Thanks!
