Jak and Daxter Collection – VGBlogger.com http://www.vgblogger.com Celebrating geek culture -- Books, Gadgets, Video Games & More!

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!

View more Precursor Orb pics in the gallery below. There’s a link to the Jak and Daxter Collection trailer underneath that as well.

Due out in February for PS3, the Jak and Daxter Collection brings Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy, Jak II and Jak 3 together on a single Blu-ray with all the bells and whistles gamers have come to expect from their PS2 HD remasters, including full Trophy lists for each individual game, stereoscopic 3D support, and 720p graphics. Jak and Daxter are still missing in action as far as a true PS3 sequel is concerned, but I suppose this is the next best thing.
