Penny Arcade PS3 Version Game Launch Confirmed

[1]VANCOUVER, British Columbia – Oct. 21, 2008 – Anxious fans and PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system owners, the wait is almost over! Hothead Games [1] today announced that its well-received Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness [2], Episode One will arrive on the PLAYSTATION®Network for download on October 23 in North America (other regions to [2] follow shortly thereafter).

The PLAYSTATION Network version of Episode One features newly-implemented PLAYSTATION 3 system features such as trophies, score ranking and background music (BGM) support and

will sell at $14.99 USD, representing a greater value to gamers than ever before. In celebration of this [3]long-awaited moment, the Windows®, Mac® and Linux® versions of Episode One currently available on the Greenhouse digital distribution service [4] will be immediately and permanently reduced to sell at a comparable price.

“We’re so excited to finally be able to get this version into gamers’ hands,” said Vlad Ceraldi, “that we wanted to extend the same value and opportunity to anyone else who hasn’t had a chance yet to play Episode One. Other platforms and digital [5] distribution services can make their own decision regarding pricing, of course, but we’re recommending under $15 for this and all episodes going forward. Episode Two will be coming to PLAYSTATION Network before Christmas and we are really happy how it turned out.”
