Only 800 points? Very good deal. The download it 2.1GB if anybody is interested, very big for an XBL Arcade title.

Not according to my Playstation Store. It was out yesterday (Thursday), so a week earlier than announced. Price is still correct at £7.99 though.

Press Release said the 24th so that's how it was reported. But yeah its actually on the Playstation Store now. It costs $19.80 if your in New Zealand.

2.1GB huh, well the PC version was around 5GB.

Uprising has a bit more content than Commander Challenge. On the PC you get Commander Challenge mode, Allied/Soviet/Empire mini-campaigns, Yuriko campaign and skirmish. Consoles have none of that.

Regardless, it's still a very good deal

Why can't they put all features in one uprising product instead of splitting them up all over the place?

EALA is just too selfish to release RA3 Uprising on Xbox350 and PS3. They just wanted to make more money by releasing separable content.

 

Also will EALA be selfish not to release a PC retail combo of RA3 and Uprising? Probably.
