 That's 3 weeks a head of the US release. The day after on March 28 will see the Blu-ray version with both carrying a £24.99 tag, unless you choose the PS3 bundle priced at £299 also available on March 28.
Oddly the downloadable version isn't any cheaper than getting it on disc, but at least the EU version carries more content that its Japanese counterpart. | |

| Pirates of the Caribbean director says the games model is 'broken' | |
| Posted: 11.03.2008 07:10 by Jamie | Comments: 1 |
 In a bold statement Gore Verbinski believes the model for games is broken with creations like Katamari winning his affections.
