Midway was another genuine player to find itself without a home, but subsequent financial troubles of its own has lessened the effect on gamers. In the end Ubisoft looks to have picked up what remains on their release schedule, recently pushing out The Wheelman.
Just as big, Bethesda Softworks also found the locks changed and the doors bolted shut on its Aussie home and had, to date, attempted to run their downunder operation remotely from the UK. While this has managed to have only a minor affect on the media in fact our own Adam Mathew is currently in London checking out Rogue Warrior to consumers it has proved a frustration. We went down to Bondi Junction's huge JB Hi-Fi earlier in the week and discovered not a single Fallout 3 in stock. Obviously the distribution channels have run dry in the months since Red Ant's demise.
Atari however may have scored the prize. A release schedule issued today by the company highlighted the fact by providing re-release dates for Fallout 3 on PC, Xbox 360 and PS3. Expect your local retailer to be flooded again with copies of this incredibly popular game on the 21st of May. In addition, the Fallout 3: Quest Pack 1 presumably a collection of the DLC released for the game will also be released in box form on June 4th. Although that is only for Xbox 360 and PC despite the fact that the Fallout 3 exclusivity arrangement read Microsoft direct debit - extends only to downloadable content, even in box form it's no dice for PS3 fans.
