Heard about it quite a while back and i've been looking for updates on it since, they've finally released more info and also a release of December 2010 (though no specific date so it should be anytime now!)
There's also no pricing yet and though I expect it won't be too cheap, i'm willing to put out a bit of dosh for it. I'm guessing it'll be somewhere around £7.99, maybe more?
I shouldn't really even get it since i've messed my hands up so bad playing Tetris but i'm just too tempted! I'm mostly looking forward to the 2P battle mode so if anyones else is interested let me know, perhaps we can have a few games.
Have a read of this article if you will, it's got a tad bit of info of what to expect.

REDWOOD CITY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Electronic Arts Inc., (NASDAQ:ERTS) and Blue Planet Software, Inc., the company that manages the exclusive licensing rights to the Tetris® brand, today announced the release of Tetris for PlayStation®Network (PSN). Millions of players worldwide on Sony PlayStation® 3 systems will now have the opportunity to download and play the game with crisp 1080p high-definition (HD) graphics, high-quality 5.1 surround sound audio, and all-new ways to play including online against other Tetris players from around the globe. The Tetris game is one of the best-selling games of all time, with more than 100 million paid mobile downloads.
In addition to stellar audio and visual qualities, Tetris players can now play online or locally with up to six friends in all-new game modes. For those that play well with others, “Shared” mode enables two players to team-up in a single matrix to combine efforts and clear lines together. On the other end of the spectrum, “Team Battle” is the ultimate competitive match-up that allows two teams of two to play against one another, alternating between offense and defense as they compete for the win. Even the well-known “Battle” mode has been enhanced with new Power-Ups for more fast-paced fun.
And long-time Tetris fans need not worry, as Tetris for PSN also includes the famous “Marathon” mode. But for a new twist, now multiplayer games let up to four players locally play “Marathon” mode at the same time. Also included is the new “Challenge” mode, which allows players playing “Marathon” mode or any of the 12 variants to try to beat “replays” of either friends or some of the best Tetris players in the world. Additionally, players can see how they stack up to the best Tetris players internationally by checking out worldwide and regional leader boards, which are refreshed weekly.
