Ships to U.S. Retail Stores Nationwide

Start your engines! Codemasters today announced
that GRID has shipped to US retail stores. GRID is now available for the Xbox
360, the PLAYSTATION 3 and Games For Windows.

GRID is an all-new race experience, taking
players on a world tour of intricately designed racetracks and courses through
Europe, the US and Japan. In addition to the exciting, ready-to-race gameplay
that gamers have come to expect from Codemasters’ racing titles, GRID
incorporates only the most powerful racecars ever created – new and classic,
circuit and drift. GRID features the most detailed and destructible range of
courses ever included in a Codemasters title, challenging gamers with a wide
variety of racing styles – from official circuit challenges and drifting events
to road races and urban street competitions around the globe.

"Codemasters has a rich history of producing AAA
racing games," said Dave Miller, Vice President of Marketing. "GRID is turning
out to be one of the highest-scoring racing games the industry has seen in
years*. By putting the ‘racing’ back into the racing genre, we’ve reignited what
makes people love these games."

Gamers can test drive the game by playing the
