Quest for Booty Blu-Ray Cancelled in UK

null

Update: The Blu-Ray will still be released in other European countries, but not the United Kingdom

Update 2: Insomniac Games’ Community Manager James Stevenson has provided a reason at games forum NeoGAF. “It’s partially due to broadband penetration being strong in the UK, therefore it wasn’t seen as needed”. He also mentions that Ireland will receive Blu-Ray copies at retail, if you’re really craving for a hard copy.

A Sony Europe representative confirmed to BritishGaming.co.uk that Ratchet and Clank: Quest for Booty will no longer be heading to United Kingdom retail stores on a Blu-Ray disc.

The 3-4 hour epilogue was released on the Playstation Store on August 21st, but was initially announced for a full retail release on September 12th.

After noticing that no British stores had the game for pre-order, we contacted Sony and received this email.

R&C: QFB won’t be released in the UK on Blu-Ray I’m afraid.

Quest for Booty is still available on Playstation Network for £9.99
