Los Angeles, Calif., March 23, 2009 - Electronic Arts Inc.

"It was really important to us to make sure Red Alert 3 on the PS3 took full advantage of everything the system has to offer," said David Seeholzer, Development Director at EA Los Angeles. "The additional time we've had allowed us to improve the PS3 version, with big performance increases and better visual fidelity.  The Blu-ray disc's storage capacity also gave us an opportunity to add a tremendous amount of bonus content, some of which is entirely exclusive for PS3 owners, making the Ultimate Edition the ultimate value."

The Command & Conquer Red Alert 3: Ultimate Edition features EA Los Angeles' console RTS control system, the CommandStick 2.0 interface, bringing the ease and efficiency of RTS controls on the PC to the PLAYSTATION 3.  The Command & Conquer Red Alert 3: Ultimate Edition is also packed full of  bonus content, including exciting new multiplayer maps, behind the scenes videos and trailers, Bloopers & Outtakes, the official Red Alert 3 soundtrack, in-depth unit profiles, PLAYSTATION 3 exclusive episodes of Command School and BattleCastTM PrimeTime and more!
