Unreal Tournament III for PLAYSTATION 3 Ships Today

Midway has announced today that the highly anticipated shooter for the PLAYSTATION 3, Unreal Tournament III, has shipped to retailers. It should be available in stores tomorrow.

"We are thrilled to put Unreal Tournament III in gamers' hands before the holidays," said Mark Rein, vice president of Epic Games. "The game plays so amazingly, and I think this is the pick-up-and-play shooter people have been waiting for on PLAYSTATION 3. In addition, Unreal Tournament III is the first game ever to allow truly robust user-created content - we call them 'mods' (as in 'modifications') - on any console platform, and we can't wait to see what the mod community creates for this game. User-created content has always been the remarkable backbone component of the Unreal Tournament series, and we think PLAYSTATION 3 system users are in for a huge treat when the mods start to appear."

Let's just hope the treats come soon, right Mark? Pick up your copy tomorrow.
