APB gets a release date!!!!


I have been pretty excited about APB in the past. That excitement quickly faded away when it seemed like the game would not be released this year since the developers were giving almost no information on the game aside from how customizable it is.

But today EA has made a statement talking about the release date and the payment method. The game will be released in the US on June 29 and July 2nd for the UK. And the following is a quote from EA's statement regarding the payment method.

"Gamers can purchase a retail version of APB either in-store or via digital download at standard retail price of $49.99. The game includes 50 hours of action gameplay out of the box plus unlimited time in APB’s social districts customizing, socializing and trading in the marketplace. Once the 50-hours are up, players have flexibility: top up their game time from as little as $6.99 for an additional 20 hours, or opt to purchase a 30-day unlimited package for only $9.99 with discounts available for 90 and 180 days. In addition to this flexible payment model, players can also earn game time by actually playing the game. APB provides avenues for accomplished gamers or creators to earn rewards for their creativity and subsidize their ongoing costs with their in-game efforts."
