PSN version of OutRun Online Arcade to be European exclusive

Yesterday, Sega released more information about OutRun Online Arcade. It turns out that in Europe, the game will be available on both the PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Arcade, making it a PSN exclusive. In North America, the game will only be available on XBLA.

Also, the game will not be released in January as previously thought, instead being released in Spring. All fifteen tracks will be taken from OutRun 2SP, and will feature music from the original game. Yay!

Here is the full press release:
