EA is finally set to release the Playstation 3 version of RA3. However the wait isn't over yet for all of the eager console players, the official release date is in March.

The Red Alert 3: Ultimate Edition for PS3 as it has been dubbed will feature some bonuses from the original release, including some extra maps, but mainly behind the scenes videos and soundtracks.

Below you can check out some screen shots uploaded by EA on the official CNC forums.







The full announcement is here, along with all of the screen shots and a gameplay video.

EA have given us an insight into some changes that we can expect in the forthcoming patch 1.07. The primary purpose of this patch seems to be to balance out the air dominance of Allies and to give Empire a better fighting chance before tier 3.
Suggested nerfs to the allied air include a speed nerf to the Apollo fighter, and perhaps most importantly a longer reload time for the Vindicator, more than doubling the amount of time between bombing runs.
Empire will receive some fixes to their Secret Protocols and a lower cost to reach tier 3, amongst some other changes.
They also won't have to worry so much about Flakblade harassment now, as Twinblades receive a health nerf, and can now only transport 3 flak troopers each. On the positive side for soviets, the Conscript's gun may now have some use as there is a proposed 25% damage increase to it.
