You lucky, lucky residents of Burbank, California, and surrounding communities.

Insomniac Games had such a great response to the Community it held in 2008 to celebrate the release of Resistance 2 , the company is doing the same thing for Ratchet and Clank Future: A Crack in Time. There will be free food, rare swag and a chance to see the latest installment in the best selling Ratchet and Clank series.

While Sony’s PlayStation has never had a true mascot per se, Ratchet and Clank have been on the company’s consoles every generation and games featuring the duo are always well received. As the title suggests, there are some issues with the timestream and it’s up to this adventurous robot-Lombax duo to set things right through platforming, puzzles and yes, I’m sure they will blow a few things up in the process.

To get in on the community event, you’ll need to be one of the first 120 people to get in the door at Insomniac Games on Friday, October 23, 2009. The event is taking place 10:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Insomniac Games’s studio at 2255 N. Ontario St., #550, Burbank, CA. Although the event is open to anyone, if you are under the age of 18, plan to bring a legal guardian or they won’t let you in.

The description of the event on the PlayStation Blog also mentions “autographs to collect – maybe even a couple from some famous non-Insomniacs,” so you may get to shake hands with a celebrity or two.

The latest installment has gone gold and is slated to hit US store shelves October 27, 2009. If you’re a Ratchet and Clank superfan, you’ll surely be interested in the collector’s edition that includes a 3D lenticular cover, an exclusive artwork book and a PlayStation Network voucher that will take you to the Insomniac Moon, a special level that resembles the Insomniac Games offices.
