Epic boss Mark Rein adds that PS3 version of the shooter is “amazingly smooth and solid”
US publisher Midway has announced that the PC version of its anticipated FPS Unreal Tournament III will ship on PC on November 19th, and whilst no European date has yet been mooted, its arrival here is expected on November 23rd.
However, there’s still no news on the release date for the game’s next-gen console debut, with the release of both the Xbox 360 and PS3 version pending on the completion of the delayed Sony iteration, owing to the title’s limited exclusivity period on the console.
In more positive news for console owners, though, boss of UT3 developer Epic Mark Rein has stated that despite the delay the PS3 version is set to deliver on the massive hype.
"I was playing the PS3 build for a few hours tonight and it is really, really fantastic," Rein posted on an internet forum. "It's amazingly smooth and solid. I think you PS3 users are in for a huge treat with UT3."

By the time they release it on DelayStation 3, the exclusive period would've expired.
I don't any nexgen console, but I'm betting that the X360 version is ready NOW because it was probably ported to/from PC version, using XNA.

This line: "I don't any nexgen console..."
Should read: "I don't own any nexgen console..."
I have a PS2 and I'm quite happy with that for now, as I've got loads of games yet to finish on it.
