Peter Dille: Warhawk on PSN is basic, Warhawk on Blu-ray gets bonus features

Ah, the convenience of Warhawk - Image 1

In Gamers Day at San Diego, Sony Computer Entertainment America (SCEA) Marketing VP Peter Dille gives Game Informer the definitive explanation as to why Warhawk will be available via both PlayStation Network and Blu-ray SKUs. It is the same reason why Disney insists your favorite Disney Channel Original Movie is made available on iTunes and on DVD (and now Blu-ray).

One way offers convenience, the other offers bonus features. Not too hard to guess which distribution model offers which. Peter Dille in fact gives hints of what's to come when you choose physical over the convenience of ethereal - er, digital.

Warhawk will be available as a download from the PlayStation Network, but weÂ’ll also have a retail SKU. There will be differences between the two. The game will be the same, but in the retail SKU weÂ’re able to take advantage of that Blu-ray disc and pack that disc with behind-the-scenes information, developer interviews, demos of other games and again, if youÂ’ve got Blu-ray why not take advantage of that. On top of that, weÂ’ll have a Bluetooth wireless headset so that you can jump into the fray day one and start trash-talking.

Bonus videos and a Bluetooth wireless headset. And if you're not on PSN (not exactly a suggested condition, but it happens), you do need the physical. Of course PS3's Blu-ray retails to US$ 60.00 (MSRP, emphasis on the S for "suggested"), but Dille could not announce any definitive pricing schemes for the two Warhawk SKUs. Dille also admits that this model of distribution won't be common, since "thereÂ’s not that many games that weÂ’ll do this for."

But for Warhawk, it is.

This story sucks? This story rocks!

Well good news I stoped by amestop yeaterday and picked up a copy of the pre-order list, it says;

08/01/07 Warhawk (Online only) $39.99 SKU270001

Fourty bucks for the DISK version of the game. From this article I'm gathering that there going to try to package a bluetooth headset with the game? If that's the case $40 for a bluetooth and a game is deffinatly a deal. It dosent say anything about the headset on the pre order sheet tho, but Time Crisis 4 says it comes with a GunCon. I hope it's wireless too.
