Doesn't pre-ordering it mean you get Jade's Retro Ninja costume?
Or am I thinking differently?

Or maybe they found out they had extra storage space in the BD media and it will be an unlockable in The Krypt of MK9??

Re: HD Kollection in 2011?
I guess you can't find it by searching the site, but here's the link to the page: http://www.fye.com/Mortal-Kombat--HD-Arcade-Kollection--PlayStation-3--Front-Page_stcVVproductId115207133VVcatId455366VVviewprod.htm
Also, interestingly, it seems to be an old page from when the game was originally going to be released last November. I can't wait to hear the entire story, good or bad, on what exactly happened with this game.
I see only about a 1% chance that happens, and I think even that's on the high side. Most likely, if and when this game is released, I'd guess it will be on the PSN store. As I've said before, I also believe they might make each game available individually rather than all three as a set (think Prince of Persia HD).

Re: HD Kollection in 2011?
i found the old november 2010 release date by searching the UPC...whats funny is the UPC pops up for harry potter on the DS too....
im almost certain MK HD wont be an unlockable in MK 9 it wouldnt be profit friendly for WB to give it away....i could see the original 3 games as krypt unlockables (non-HD)
if it was a PSN store exclusive it would be priced per game...but with the possible size of these games, im not sure i would want them on my hard drive....
i would love to see MK HD packaged with a book full of photos and original art, like a history of MK something for the 20th anniversary

Re: HD Kollection in 2011?
Now that MK9 is so close, I've somewhat lost interest in the HD Kollection. Don't get me wrong, I really, really, really want WB and NRS to make this game, but I'm 100% focused on MK9 for the time being.
At this point, I really do hope they release the HD Kollection on Mortal Kombat's 20th anniversary. It would make sense and would be a nice gift for the fans. Since they now have more time, I do hope that the game gets some cool, nostaligic touches (such as the book you suggest). If they do for the HD Kollection what Nintendo did for the Mario Anniversary package on Wii, I'll be satisfied. If they go all out with lots of extras and goodies, I'll gladly pay the full $60 price point, even if it is, technically, for remakes.
About what? Jack Sparrow's post?

Never seen an American release come out on a Friday and it doesn't make much sense to release the game merely two weeks prior to MK9. Sorry, but Buy.com is going to be giving out some refunds.

Re: HD Kollection in 2011?
I saw that. Even if this particular project is no more, do you think WB (or whomever) would consider revisiting it at a later date, or possibly even starting over from scratch? I believe if nothing else, the fans showed to them that they'd be interested in such a game and I don't think WB or NRS can ignore that. I'll continue to hold on to the belief that some day there will be an HD Kollection, even if it's not a product of this project.

Re: HD Kollection in 2011?
From a purely marketing standpoint, it doesn't make sense for this game to be released this year.
Think about it. First of all, why did WB buy Midway? It's not because WB all of a sudden wanted to get into the video game business. They wanted the Mortal Kombat franchise. WB is a media company, so what they were really interested in was all of the MK characters and storylines for film development and merchandising.
However, with the purchase of that, they also got a game company. And that's pretty convenient, because everything MK originated from the game. The situation, though, has been reversed. WB now has huge interest in the game, not because they want a great game for the sake of gaming, but because a great MK game is going to spark interest in the MK franchise and add more value to the merchandising to follow. If you've been paying attention, you know that the release of MK isn't the climax of all this development, it's really just the beginning of a massive rollout of all kinds of MK media and merchandise. You can really think of the game as a huge advertisement for all of the other MK products that are going to be the real money makers for WB. Of course, this means WB has a huge stake in MK being a great game, but it's really just to sell more merchandise.
Okay, so let's say MK is a huge success. Naturally, WB will green light a sequel (if they haven't already). It seems like WB is at least smart enough to give NRS time to develop great software, so hopefully they won't rush out a sequel. I think it would be reasonable to expect the sequel sometime in 2013. That's great, but that means 2012 is going to be empty for the MK universe in terms of games. Enter HD collection. The smart money would be on releasing this collection in 2012 around the same time hype for the sequel is starting to keep the MK momentum going. I bet this game is already finished, the marketing people are just formulating a strategy for the best time to release it.
That's what I think. WB is a savvy company that really knows what it's doing.
