Hi All,

This is Kevin Smyth the European Product Manager on Ratchet & Clank: A Crack in Time with a quick update on all things Ratchet related.

Release Date Confirmation
Most PAL territories (except Australia, New Zealand, UK and Ireland): 4th November 2009

Two demos will be released on the store on the 29th October (Today)

• Demo 1 – Krell Canyon – featuring your chance to try out Ratchet’s awesome new Hoverboots.
• Demo 2 – The Great Clock – enjoy Clank’s time manipulation puzzle solving skills and an exciting boss battle.

TV Commercial
Last but not least, I’m also delighted to share the SCEE TV commercial with you. It will run across Europe and the PAL regions as the game is released and follows the ‘The Game is Just the Start’ campaign which was kicked off with the launch of the new PS3 model. It features a mix of animation and gameplay which we feel does a good job of getting across the essence of A Crack in Time. Hope you like it!

That’s it from me, feel free to post any questions you have and I’ll do my best to answer them.

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.
