Sony To Distribute Dirt 2

Sony have struck a deal to sell Dirt 2 in most PAL territories.

This isn’t the first time Sony have swooped a deal like this they did it with Ghostbusters earlier in the year and now they are doing it with Dirt 2.

The deal is only for the PS3 and PSP version of the game and won’t see the game come out first on the PS3, it will still be released on the 11th September on the PS3 an Xbox 360 in the UK.

“To have Colin McRae: Dirt 2 represented by the platform holder during the new PS3 system’s launch window is testimony to the strength of the game and its commercial relevance,” Codemasters’ senior VP of publishing for EPAC Axel Herr stated.

“The Colin McRae series has enjoyed a great affinity with the PlayStation brand in PAL territories for over 10 years and we’re proud to have the support and ambition of SCEE behind it during this key time for both the PS3 and PSP.”

The agreement covers all PAL territories except Spain (Warner Bros), Australia and New Zealand (Namco Bandai).

We don’t know what Sony will gain from this excursion, but Codemasters have managed to get some nice quick cash.
