There's been quite a bit of confusion on Warhawk's release on the PS3. While single player has been confirmed to have been dropped in favor of multiplayer gameplay, there's been questions on Warhawk's release as a downloadable only title. From reports of a disgruntled employee leaving because of the possible downloadable only release to Phil Harrison's statement, which may have been taken out of context, that Warhawk will be "available as only a download" at GDC.

IGN spoke to an SCEA representative to clear up the issue. "Officially, Warhawk will be released as a Blu-ray-based product," commented the SCEA rep. "It will see release in late summer."

We have also received confirmation that Warhawk will be a blu-ray, disc based release. Hope the disgruntled employee didn't leave based on the rumor.
