But there's nothing to stop you from importing it.
Available for €69 (£55), the Steelbook features alternate artwork of Joel and Ellie to that found on the standard edition along with a full copy of the game. But while the price might be slightly higher than the standard UK price, collectors may want to pre-order now before it sells out.
The Last of Us Remastered hits the UK on August 1 complete with enhanced 1080p visuals at 60fps. Still haven't played the original? Check out our review.
The EA Patrick Söderlund is building doesn't need to annualise everything.
"It doesn't necessarily mean that we need to annualize Battlefield and that's the way it's going to be forever and ever," explained Söderlund. "I understand that some people may look at it that way but that's what happened."
He added: "The EA that I'm trying to help build isn't an EA that needs to annualize everything."
Having more than one Battlefield title in rotation does bring benefits, says Söderlund.
"Everything that we've fixed with [Battlefield 4] will go into Hardline," he confirmed. "Once people get their hands on the netcode patch, which I...
EA Sports UFC lacks any modes outside the basics: Fight Now, Online and Career Mode, plus some more detailed tutorial offerings. Fans expect more, and UFC ‘Round 2’ should include some extras like tournaments and title fights. It should also allow us to choose whether we include fighter’s entrances in Fight Now - currently this just doesn't happen - or want to put the belt on the line for added pressure.
This may be a based on a real world, highly competitive sport, but it’s still a game. More modes are needed to keep players interested in the roster at...
While on the mat, you can click the left stick to attempt to stand up from both top and bottom positions. From the top, you can try to stand up from any dominant position, from full guard to mount. From the bottom, You can attempt to stand up in most submissive states, but you’ll have to transition from severely disadvantaged positions like full mount.
If you’re a fighter who’s far better in the stand-up game, or fighting an opponent who can be lethal on the ground, try your best to get the fight back to a stand-up contest as quickly as...
For starters, this is an arcade fighter wrapped around the rules of the Octagon - that’s a good thing. Much in the same way that Fight Night didn’t follow the flow of a boxing match, UFC is more of a slobberknocker than its real-world counterpart, taking a liberal interpretation of “punches in bunches”.
This is entertaining for the most part, except when the fight hits the mat. Here they become a torrid mess of right-stick swirling with all the strategy of a bar brawl. The amount of transitions is absurd with reversals and full mounts every few seconds. I don't know why...
While GTA 5, Max Payne 3 and Red Dead Redemption go cheap on Xbox 360.
The next-gen-enhanced Tomb Raider can be had for £19.99 (reduced from £39.99) while side-scrolling action game Strider can be downloaded for £5.99 (reduced from £11.99). The catch? You'll need to be an Xbox Live Gold subscriber to take advantage of the deal.
Xbox 360 Gold users, meanwhile, can pick up a bunch of Rockstar favourites at knockdown prices, including Grand Theft Auto 5 for £24.99, Max Payne 3 for £3.74 and Bully: Scholarship Edition for £2.99. Deadfall Adventures has also been reduced from £34.99 to £6.99, but I'd be wary of jumping into that one before...
But we could see the game this year, DayZ creator suggests.
"We've toyed around what to do with the console side of things," Hall said. "I think a lot of manufacturers would like to do that kind of stuff. But I think we'd be doing a disservice to the manufacturers and to the community as well. We have to get the core aspects of the game finished before we commit to doing anything. Otherwise you make a big announcement and then you wait for six or 12 months.
"So we really need to lock down the core of what the game actually is now. I think we're really committed to that. We had a big think about it over the last few months, what should we...
Space combat-sim EVE Valkyrie brilliantly shows off the Oculus Rift, and it doesn't play too badly either.
Surprising, from a business perspective. There are far more 2D screens in the world than there are VR headsets, and videogames, like any other entertainment medium, are all about getting bums on seats. But CCP have a plan - as David told me, they want Valkyrie to be the “killer app” for virtual reality.
As it turns out, space dogfighting is a perfect fit for virtual reality. It neatly sidesteps the disconnect that’s present when you use an oculus rift to play, for example, a first person shooter - there’s something about controlling where you walk without actually moving...

Latest update adds new vehicles, retro clothes and weapons.
The free 'I'm Not a Hipster' update features new "retro print tees, skinny jeans... animal masks and more", along with two new weapons – the Vintage Pistol and Antique Cavalry Dagger.

12 new jobs are included as well, along with a host of exploit fixes and gameplay tweaks, such as changes to insurance costs, tear gas damage,...
Enabling E3 2012 effects make for improved lighting and depth of field.
A comparison video comparing the initial PC release of Watch Dogs with yesterday's E3 2012 mod has appeared online, highlighting the differences the new effects can make to the overall look of the game.
The mod is believed to activate effects disabled in the initial release but hidden deep inside the game's files, including improved lighting and enhanced depth of field.
You can see from the video how much of a difference the improved effects make to the game's looks, with shadows now cast from headlights and improved depth of field making for an appealing, softer look...
Would need to envision "Dead Space for a new generation".
"Do I think that we will create a Dead Space game again? Yes, I think so," explained Söderlund. "But when we do so, we have to think about what made the previous ones successful and how we go about envisioning Dead Space for a new generation.
"Now, I'm not announcing a Dead Space game. We're not building one just to be very clear, but I'm saying is there an opportunity or possibility to do one in the future? Absolutely."
Söderlund suggests that the decision on what games are made is partly down to what the studios themselves want to work on.
All the more important as it's the last instalment in the trilogy, says lead animator.
Earlier this month when the delay was announced, Rocksteady's brand marketing producer Dax Ginn said the delay was to "ensure we are delivering the awesome level of quality that Batman fans and gamers expect from this, the final episode and the epic conclusion to the Rocksteady Arkham trilogy".
Coban has offered further detail on what awesome level of quality really means.
"It's going to be the level of detail, really," explained Coban.
"We're so concerned about bringing out the final instalment and making sure it fits the bill in terms of the quality range...
Classic players only available on Xbox, packshots reveal.
Legends lets FIFA 15 players collect classic football stars from throughout history to use in the game's Ultimate Team mode. Legends was also exclusive to Xbox platforms in last year's FIFA 14.
EA has yet to formally announce Legends' Xbox-exclusivity for FIFA 15.
FIFA 15 kicks off on Xbox One, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, PC, PS Vita, Wii and Nintendo 3DS on September 26.
Creative director pleased with "ridiculous" adoption rate.
"I was humbled and flabbergasted when I learned that one out of every two Xbox One player profiles had played the full version of Forza Motorsport 5," Greenawalt told IGN. "That is ridiculous, for any game. Certainly racing games have not usually seen that amount of adoption."
He later added that "over a million people" were still playing Forza Motorsport 5, Forza Motorsport 4 and Forza Horizon in a single week.
While sales numbers for Forza Motorsport 5 have yet to be revealed, a digital copy of the game was bundled for free with some European Day One Edition Xbox...
Last week, producer Cameron Lee tweeted that Inquisition will offer "40 major endings with additional variations".
However, shortly after Darrah moved to clarify this, stating: "Most endings are major variations based upon your choices in the game. There are only a few completely unique endings."
Dragon Age: Inquisition launches on Xbox One, PS4, Xbox 360, PS3 and PC on October 10.
The new site displays the full list of locked and unlocked achievements linked to each game you've played, along with the image attached to each achievement.
The site previously only tracked achievements linked to Xbox 360, Windows Phone and Windows 8 titles, with Xbox One users forced to use SmartGlass or the console to check their progress.
Download the acclaimed peg puzzler "On The House" until August 5.
The game offers 55 levels in Adventure mode with 10 Magic Powers to master. Players can also face off against friends or AI in Duel Mode.
The game follows previous freebies, Battlefield 3, Dead Space and Plants vs. Zombies: Game of the Year Edition.
"There's no catch," explained EA back in March. "Grab full games, expansions and more at absolutely no cost. Just make sure to act fast because On the House specials can appear and disappear at any time."
