Today Rare confirmed Monday's report that Perfect Dark's Xbox Live Arcade port will be released in early 2010. They've also released another screenshot to ease the pain of the long wait.

"Crash site antics in today's new PD XBLA shot, can now confirm early 2010 release which is still 'winter', stop moaning," tweeted Rare earlier this morning. A lot of fans were probably griping about how the game's release was previously announced for this winter. I guess a lot of them figured it would arrive on the 2009 side of the season.

Anyway, you can check out the full image below in the gallery. No comparison shot from the N64 version was provided but rest assured that they've managed to spruce it up a bit from the original N64 version from nine years back.
