The retail (Blu-ray) version includes much more so don't let the price scare you

Yup, Warhawk is now available up on the PlayStation Store ready for you to grab for the affordable price of just $39.99. Dylan Jobe himself, the game's Director, has confirmed this with an entry on PlayStation.Blog, as Warhawk has gone Gold. What, didn't you know...? You can almost see how happy Dylan Jobe is about their game going Gold. Some inspiring words coming from the game's Director...:

"First off, has Warhawk gone "gold"??

Hells Ya! The PSN and Blu-ray versions have gone "GOLD," completely finished and will go on sale August 28th ? just a few weeks away! We're all really proud of the game, and those of you who got a chance to participate in the BETA know why. We can't wait to get online with all of you so we can beat the hell out of each other!"

As for the pricing of both the downloadable and Blu-Ray versions of the game...:

"The PlayStation Store version will be $39.99 and I'm really glad that SCEA came through with a "good value' price for this - it's the right thing to do."

The retail version of the game however is a bit more expensive: $59.99! But that's only because the "Blu-rayed" version of Warhawk has some extras. Actually not "some" extras, but just one really. Why don't I let Mr. Game Director tell you what that is:

"...first off, we wanted to give all of you the option, the retail game is more of a premium version with some expanded video content, traditional package and manual (this seems to mean a lot with some of the gamers I have spoken to), and a Jabra Bluetooth headset bundled with the game - all for $59.99!"

That's what I was referring to, the Jabra Bluetooth headset. The manual... yeah, that one's good too but the Internet makes a good replacement for it sometimes (er... always). The packaging on the other hand can't be replaced by anything, so if you asked me whether I'd download my Tomb Raider Anniversary or get the Collector's Edition yes, I totally agree. Heck, it doesn't even have to be a Collector's Edition if you're a fan, right?

More details can be found up PlayStation.Blog, but I'm sure that all you were interested in was when you'd be able to get your hands on the game. Well, that's now. Go get it!
