The PlayStation 3 version of Unreal Tournament 3 has been approved by SCEA and has been released to North American manufacturing, according to Epic's Mark Rein.

"Midway has started talking to retailers to figure out exact timing and they will have a formal announcement early next week when everyone is back from the Thanksgiving holiday," he said in a statement.

"My guess is that Midway will start shipping the title to North American retailers on Monday December 10, and it could show up in stores as early as December 11, but more likely toward the middle of that week.
