With Sly and Jak having already received HD re-releases on PS3, what's the next Sony franchise to get a high-definition makeover? Ratchet & Clank, it seems--at least according to a leaked listing on Amazon France.

Numerous outlets have spotted the listing (now taken down), noting a May 16th release for the compilation.

In 2010, franchise developer Insomniac said they'd "support" an HD remastering of the original PS2 games. However, like the other HD re-releases thus far, Insomniac would not be working on it directly.

Four games in the Ratchet series were released on the PlayStation 2 that could be considered for inclusion in a shiny new Blu-ray package: Ratchet & Clank, Going Commando, Up Your Arsenal, and the not-very-punny Deadlocked. However, given there are already four Ratchet & Clank games on PS3, this collection may seem a bit less exciting than the ones Sony has already released.

      I only recently got into Ratchet and Clank after playing 'Tools of Destruction', a game I had bought but then neglected. I'm glad that I can have a second chance at the PS2 games which I had obviously missed out on.

        They're amazing. Really great games.

        The only one of the PS2 games I haven't played is Ratchet: Deadlocked, and I'm guessing that they'll conveniently leave that one off the disc (it was a big departure for the series).

        I still haven't picked up All4One for PS3.

          Deadlocked is still worth playing imo a the combat is streamlined and is still fun... however all4one is terrible. Going commando i still think is the best in the series... you could spend what seemed like forever continually upgrading all of the weapons.
