Previously announced as a European and EMEA exclusive, the Prince of Persia HD collection has had me snarling with furious jealousy ... until now. Ubisoft has revealed during a 2010-2011 financial report that its HD remastering of the classic PS2 games will be coming to the US PlayStation Network as well. 

As a fan of the series, this is great news to me. I haven't played Sands of Time in forever, and I was quite annoyed when the collection was reported to snug America. So, this is good news for all concerned! 

No date or price has yet been announced, but Ubisoft appears to expect that the three games will be available for download before the end of the year, and there isn't much of 2010 left!

Legacy Comments (will be imported soon)

Now metal gear solid and jak

MasterBalls

Yay, everything that Prince 2008 wasn't. Sands of Time is the definitive PoP game by far.

TheGreekDollmaker

Yahtzee will be pleased by this.

llort het

If I see a single comment saying "can't wait to play this in HD!1!1!!!!111" I'm gonna bust a nut. Adding HD to an old game doesn't make it look that much better. At least not so much better that you couldn't play it 8 years ago if you really wanted to. ARRRRGGGGHHHHH

thatjesushair

This + Sly 4 + Assassins Creed Brotherhood release?!

My pants are soaking right about now...

Mr Andy Dixon

The last PoP game I played looked like this:



I guess now is as good a time as any to update my catalog.

Nova Prime

I love Sands of time, this is so going to be a day 1 purchase.

Klarden

maybe they should simply write "Prince of Persia PC versions"? -_-

AussieBen

Remember all those US readers saying that Europe is so lucky and gets everything? They sure were right, weren't they?

LittleBigD

I'm a little shocked to find myself standing in line with Soffik for anything, but I would also like to sign the request for Ubisoft to get cracking on Prince of Persia 2008 2.

Xpeki

Now how about some Metal Gear? Please?

WonsAuto

I'm kind of disappointed that it won't make it as a physical game disc. I'll probably import it from Europe just for that, if the price is right.

adrianboy

Oh, Prince, you come and go from my life, and still I don't know your name.

kidplus

I think I'm just gonna import this. It's less than $35US on Amazon UK.

JynxShot

\m/

brod

I don't understand why this game is PS3 exclusive. I would much prefer it on 360, but I'll probably still buy for PS3.. sigh.

sprldr

Tom Clancy and Rayman HD collections are supposedly on the way as well.

Adam Duffles Duffield

Ofcourse it wouldnt be coming to european PSN ¬¬

KyleGamgee

YES! YES! Do want. Am happy.

I LOVED Warrior Within. LOVED IT.

I'm so excited I using quite a bit of capitalization.

SKSith

Yeah, I love trophy hunting in some of my faveorite PS2 games and this series is amung them.

Vacuum Boogie

Great news. Well it took quite a while for them to figure out that people will buy PS2 games once more. I want TimeSplitters Future Perfect in HD and multiplayer. Please, EA. Please.

DrRockso87

Ugh, that's... good? I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm ecstatic that the 'Prince of Persia' HD trilogy is finally coming to North America but I'm upset that's it coming to the PSN. I'd much rather have the hard copy and also, knowing Sony, they'll probably release this as a Playstation Plus exclusive. Ugh.

Oh well. I'll just wait for the hard copy. If they don't release one then I'll just import the game from Europe instead.

Watts

The only PoP game I've like was 2008 reboot. Why have you forsaken us fans Ubisoft?

MasterBalls

@Watts

Because your taste is awful. Go paint in watercolours you estrogen filled GIRL.

Shane Saiyan

I would also like a PoP2K8 sequel kplzthnx.

pedrovay2003

...PSN. As in, download only.

And Europe's getting a disc.

Well, time to import.

Holiday

Will a HD Beyond Good & Evil be far off?

esin

So did they improve the textures or anything? Otherwise anyone with a decent pc could have been playing all the PoP games in 1080p for years already :/

AussieBen

@Holiday A HD Beyond Good and Evil has already been announced for XBLA and PSN.

Vacuum Boogie

So now we've got five inadequate people including Epic (unless he's joking), who actually liked 2008 PoP reboot.
What the hell, count me in. I, too, found this game somewhat enjoyable. Yeah I said it.
Sands of Time still rocks though.

Bob Muir

This particular HD up-res looks like ass. God of War Collection and Sly Collection look damn nice, but somehow this Blu-ray (or PSN) rerelease got hit with the ugly stick. Granted, I played the Xbox version of Sands of Time, so maybe I'm just used to better initial graphics, but if the PS2 version they're using as a base for the 720p PS3 version looks that bad, I'll stick with my lowly 480p Xbox version.

KingSigy

The PC version was already HD. I still have all 3 of these on PC, too.

kasasensei

Easy cash, easy cash.

lewness

IMPOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORT.

Also, Jak. Or! Or! Crash Bandicoot!

T3HM0RR0W

Man, with all these HD collections being announced Square Enix's can't be too far off... Oh wait, this is SE that I'm talking about... "Final Fantasy X & XII /Kingdom Hearts 1 & 2 HD collections available in Q4 2015!!!" WOOT

weazelGamr

EXCITEMENT! I miss the old douchebag prince
