The past few days more evidence of the upcoming <a href="http://www.trmk.org/news/13089/mortal_kombat_hd_kollection_confirmed_in_development.html">Mortal Kombat HD Arcade Kollection</a> has surfaced. First the major UK Retailer <a href="http://www.game.co.uk">Game</a> has <a href="http://www.game.co.uk/Mortal-Kombat-HD-Arcade-Kollection/~r351429/?s=mortal+kombat">listed the game for pre-order</a>. Game doesn't offer many details beyond a release date of <b>11/2010</b> which is similar to the previous European leaks.
Yesterday we got our first US retailer leak. A reader, <b>Lucas</b>, reached out to let us know that US retail distributor <a href="https://www.accessingram.com/">Ingram Entertainment</a> now has the game listed for pre-booking. Pre-booking is basically what a store does to place advance orders for their customers. Here's a screenshot of the game's listing in the system:

What is not pictured is the release date of <b>November 17th</b> in the system. Oddly enough that is a Wednesday not a Tuesday. Also as with with the other leaks there is <b>no indication of a Xbox 360</b> version of this game. We think it's likely going to be released as a <a href="http://www.mcvuk.com/news/39774/Expect-more-PS3-HD-Collections">Sony PlayStation 3 HD Collections title</a>. We don't expect it to be 100% exclusive to the <b>PlayStation 3</b>, but rather we'd bet that that a lack of Xbox 360 leaks point towards it being a <b>timed exclusive</b> where the game eventually gets released for the Xbox 360 after a period of time. We don't think they'd exclude all potential Xbox 360 customers, especially after having lost the ability to purchase <a href="http://www.trmk.org/games/ultimate_mortal_kombat_3">Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3</a> on <b>Xbox Live Arcade</b>.
With the unconfirmed release date being only two months away, we bet an official announcement is not far off.
