Ubisoft has announced that Prince of Persia Classic will be coming to the PlayStation Network this Thursday, October 23.
As the name implies, the game is a remake of Jordan Mechner's 1989 title, featuring updated graphics, music, and more. If this game sounds and looks familiar, that's because it is -- Prince of Persia Classic was released on Xbox LIVE Arcade last June. Hopefully that strange glitch has been worked out of the PSN version.
No word on pricing, but the XBLA version cost around $10, so we'd expect roughly the same come Thursday.
