Precursor Orbs, like coins in a Mario game, are the collectible artifacts and currency of the Jak and Daxter universe. Jak has collected thousands of them throughout his 5-game career and Daxter picked up his fair share during his solo PSP adventure. But I don’t know how they managed to carry so many on them at once. Oh, that’s right, I forgot — they, like many video game heroes, have bottomless pouches that magically store items of unlimited size and quantity.
Lucky them, because in real life Precursor Orbs are heavy as lead. OK, maybe not THAT heavy, but this replica Precursor Orb (with accompanying 10th Anniversary stand) I received today from Sony, in promotion of the Jak and Daxter HD trilogy coming to PS3 in February, is a good five pounds and is solid as a rock. I certainly wouldn’t want to lug around more than one in my pockets, let alone hundreds at a time!

Matt Litten is a 28 year old from-the-womb gamer turned video game reviewer/blogger and current editor/owner/operator of VGBlogger.com. Matt got his first taste of gaming as a youngster on the NES and Atari, and the rest is history from there.
In 2004, three years removed from high school and still looking for a career direction in life, Matt landed his first gig in the video game review business writing for the now-defunct website BonusStage.com. After the sad and untimely close of BonusStage, the former staff went on to found VGBlogger.com, and after a short stint as US Site Manager for AceGamez Matt turned his attention to VGBlogger, and to this day is dedicated to making it one of the top video game blogs in all the blogosphere.
Matt is a fair-minded reviewer and lover of games of all platforms and types, big or small, hyped or niche, big-budget or indie. But that doesn't mean he will let poor games slide without a good thrashing when necessary.

Unfortunately they aren’t available as a consumer product as far as I know. They were only given to select game blogs/publications as a limited edition promotional item.
I can’t remember what the translation is. I read it somewhere but can’t seem to remember where I saw it.
