Epic Games’ VP Mark Rein said last week that the PS3 version of Unreal Tournament III has been sent off to manufacturing and that they’re aiming for a mid-December release in North America.

Epic and Midway have now announced the exact release date - December 11th - but also revealed that only limited quantities will available at that date. And in North America only, like Rein revealed last week. Everyone else, much like Xbox 360 gamers, will have to wait until early next year to get their hands on the long-awaited shooter.
