This will convince me to at least rent it.

I think that eidos will also correct a few bugs with this patch, so don't expect it before late february at the earliest.

I'm going to rent this soon worth a go for trophies

I thought all games in 2009 must have trophies when they release?

Tomb Raider was released in 2008.

wow i thought you guys got trophies already, well i got like half of my achievements for that game already but yea i still got find all the relics and beat it on hard or real hard mode.

lara is one hot babe this time around!

That's true, of course. But here we are talking about the Japanese release date.

I think a trophy patch could even make Underworld sell better since a lot of people say they will buy it if there is a patch.

A patch has now been officially confirmed by Eidos:
