The PC version of Epic Games‘ Unreal Tournament 3 has already hit stores worldwide, and it was only a matter of time before gamers could grab a copy for their Sony PlayStation 3s. Epic Games’ vice president, Mark Rein, assured concerned gamers that developers were working on delivering the latest successor to the legendary multiplayer series to the Sony PS3 within 2007. Here’s good news: it looks like their Yuletide season is going to be one frag-filled fest.

Word was sent via press wire that the Sony PlayStation 3 version of Unreal Tournament 3 (Microsoft Xbox 360, Sony PlayStation 3, Windows PC) is in fact scheduled to be shipped to game shelves in North America by December 10 – that’s on Saturday next week.
