When OutRun Online Arcade was originally announced there were some strange occurances happening with the press releases. Two separate ones were released for Europe and America - with the American one strangely having no mention of the PS3 version.

UK gaming outpost CVG have now gotten the final word on the situation - the PlayStation Network version of OutRun Online Arcade is a European exclusive. It will not be released in North America.

The reasons could be many - are Microsoft shelling out for an American exclusive? Are Sony not keen on releasing a port in NA? Either way, Sega has declined to comment on the issue.
