Realtime Worlds, Inc. announced the release date for APB (All Points Bulletin).  APB will be hitting shelves on June 29th in North America, July 1st in mainland Europe and July 2nd in the UK.

If you've been living under a rock, APB pits two groups of players, Criminals and Enforcers, against each other and lets them loose in a persistent, open-world, online multiplayer setting in the fictional city of San Paro. Massive amounts of customization, both via clothing, tattoos, in game death music and more are also a halmark of APB.

You can get your hot little hands on a copy of APB either in-store or via digital download for £34.99 (which converts to US$53.65 as of the time of this writing). The game includes 50 hours of gameplay with it plus unlimited time in APB’s social districts. Once the 50-hours are up, players can buy more game time from as little as SRP £5.59 (US$8.57) for an additional 20 hours, or a 30-day unlimited package for£7.99 (US$12.25) with discounts available for 90 and 180 days. Players can also earn game time by actually playing the game, with rewards for creativity and other methods of subsidizing their ongoing costs with their in-game activities.

If you pre-order, you will get early access to the game with "APB VIP" time, access to the key to the city demo, and an in-game Asylum UPgraded Criminal car and Enforcer upgraded Patrol car, as well as CSA Enforcer and Asylum Criminal clothing.  Let's of course, not forget the strike a pose emote!
