It appears that Sony's multiplayer title, Warhawk, will be getting an early release on the PlayStation Network this week. Set to hit the PlayStation Store on Tuesday at 12:01 AM EST, the digital version of the title will cost gamers $39.99.
Retail outlets will also be selling the Blu-ray disc version of the game this week, which will also ship with a Bluetooth headset, and will cost $59.99. Those who decide to go digital will have a slight edge -- Warhawk ships to retail on Tuesday, August 28, which means most stores won't have it on their shelves until the next day.
The has received mostly positive buzz coming out of the public beta, but at least one magazine (PSM) rated the game average, with a 6.5 out of 10.
[Thanks, Action Bastard!]

If you give me half a game, then give it to me at half the price. Didn't we already learn this was the reason Shadowrun sold so poorly?
Multiplayer only games have problems selling for full price.
The game itself seems pretty cool and hella fun, but still a little pricey for a download.
Unlike lair you have the option of going to good 'ol fashioned dual-analog control. so it shouldn't be a big deal.
Simple typo. Not idiocy. Promise.
I meant that $60 bucks is too steep for a multiplayer only game. Sometimes I get a wire crossed.
I'll admit that the retail version of Warhawk is worth it. But being charged $40 buck for a download, (as in no physical box or instructions, and no resale value) is downright insulting.
Paying near or full price for a download is not something I want to see grab a foothold this console generation. Plain old DLC is nickel-and-diming us to death already; and yes, I'm looking at you Guitar Hero 2.
I mean, it doesn’t make a difference to me; I pre-ordered it from Best Buy three weeks ago (that Bluetooth headset is the deal-breaker for me).
I think I'm going to go for the shelf copy.
the review literally said the reasons it was docked was it was online only
and that he died alot in the warhawk
they went through this whole weapon comparing thing there warhawks do less than this and this and that and what not...
kind of amusing...
their review for lair however was spot on, game could be as epic as it wants, toss in shitty motion control as the only way to play it?
nope.
