Gårdagen var en turbulent dag för alla som ser fram mot #Unreal Tournament III. Först kom beskedet alla har väntat på - spelet släpps i november - men senare landade uppgifter om att datumet endast gällde Playstation 3-versionen. Ett senare klargörande slog fast att uppgiften inte stämde helt; spelet släpps till PS3 och pc i år, medan Xbox 360-versionen dröjer en tid till (oklart hur länge).
I ett pressmeddelande förklaras inte orsaken till beslutet, men vi får i alla fall uppgifterna bekräftade. Vågar vi tro att Gates och kompani grämer sig en smula...?
