Ratchet & Clank Future: ACIT Smashing Onto Store Shelves
09/02/2009 Written by Cameron Teague
Insomniac Games have made a name for themselves by producing great game after great game on the PS3, and here comes another one. We finally have word of the official release date for Ratchet & Clank : A Crack in Time, and it’s a lot sooner than you may think.
You will be able to laugh alongside Ratchet and his Burp gun when this game ships on October 27th, 2009. Also detailed below are the Pre-Order goodies for those of you willing to put down cash early for the game.
Jefferson Dong, Product Marketing Manager of SCEA had this to say regarding pre-orders:
- ‘Discovery Package’ – Explore the Insomniac Moon with a special level that resembles the layout of Insomniac Games’ studio offices. A fan favorite, the Moon is filled with content that didn’t quite make the final game, sort of like deleted scenes on DVDs. You can earn this unlockable on your own, but Insomniac certainly won’t make it easy for ya!‘Power Package’ – Up your arsenal with an exclusive weapon skin for one of Ratchet’s weapons along with extra hit points and Ratchet’s brand new Cryo Mine Glove.‘Bolt Package’ – Bolster your bolt count with 5,000 free bolts care of Ratchet’s most bolt-centric power-ups, the Bolt Magnetizer and Box Basher.‘Space Package’ – Drift off into space with an exclusive hot rod skin for Ratchet’s ship, the Aphelion, along with 5,000 free bolts and an exclusive Ratchet & Clank PlayStation Home Avatar skin.
How many of you plan to pre-order, and for which packages? Let us know in the comment section below!

Retailer specific exclusive preorder bonuses are a plague upon society.
On topic: I know what I will be playing on Oct 27.

I have allready pre-ordered it but I’m not sure what I get. Hopefully not the Insomniac moon, as the challenge of finding it intrigues me.

If you blow up the image it says Multiplayer, leaderboards, matchmaking and other things. Will this game have online multiplayer? Has this been announced yet?

I don’t like the new PS3 box design because it won’t look right with my other PS3 games.

@bayouboyz yeah! the previous one we’re already great. but we’ll see.
Why does it have to be oct? Are the devs trying to make me bankrupt? lol. So much games, so little time, so little money. *sigh*

@DGR8Mc187 LMAO…
All the pre-order packs are lame. If you can unlock most or all of the pre-order content by simply playing the game, just buy the game from the retailer that offers it at the best price. If you are willing to wait a week or so to get the game, save a few dollars and order from Amazon and get free shipping.. I was going to order from GameStop for the Discovery package, but as this article says, it is unlockable.
Support the developers and buy new games, not used.

I read somewhere that the unlockable Insomniac moon museum requires 100% completion. I know getting all the skill points and gold bolts will be tough. I don’t think I want to make myself hate the game to get to the Museum so I guess I’ll be pre-ordering. I think Gamestop is the museum package.

@Hater It’s not really that bad, right?
September 2nd, 2009 at 9:37 PM
im buying it but y they changed the box? it’ll look out of place next to my other ps3 games… the old 1 was good

Why do ppl make a big deal out of the new Ps3 boxart?
Some of you guy should hear yourselves “it’s not going to match my collection” grow up! It’s just dumb. It’s pretty damn obvious they did surveys about the logo being hardly seen.
Just be happy about the game being on PS.
BTW : a lot of ppl complained about fw 3.0 friend list with the grey boxes looking ugly and from what I heard (take as a grain of salt) Sev if you can get more info or look in to this, the friends list is a mini gamer card / profile whatever the hell you wanna call it is suppose to show the trophies and level in the new grey boxes so it can be easier to see how many trophies your friends have.
