"As the celebration of Ratchet & Clank's 10th Anniversary has unfolded this year, we've received your anxious e-mails, tweets and Facebook messages asking us when you can get your hands on the Ratchet & Clank Collection in North America," Insomniac Games' senior community manager James Stevenson wrote.

The collection, which includes Ratchet & Clank, Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando, and Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal, will feature 1080p resolution, 3D support in 720p, and online play. North American purchasers will also get a Ratchet & Clank 10th anniversary avatar and a demo for Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time, which is expected to be released later this year.
