Ah. Right on time! Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End just docked its merry butt onto retail shelves today - that's all platforms of the game released: PS3, Xbox 360, Wii, PS2, PSP, and NDS. Gawsh, what a mouthful. Aside from the fact that it's being released across all major consoles and handhelds, you won't have any problems finding a copy of the game. The press release from Disney Interactive states that they've shipped over 2.8 million copies worldwide. Sheeesh.

But maybe you're wondering what's the difference between the different versions. Let's take a walk down the plank, shall we? We'll keep it simple: the PS3 gets SIXAXIS support, Achievements abound in the 360 version, the Wii makes use of the Wiimote and Nunchuk, the PSP allows you to use a different set of moves and combos, and the DS makes the most out of touchpad and stylus interaction.

Now of course, this are just the bare minimal of differences - hell, you can transplant those to other multiplatform game releases. It's natural for a publisher to make the most use out of the different platforms, and make sure to add some exclusive content and features in their games various releases.

More information about the highly-anticipated Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End video game that's pretty much sailing to every platform there is just came in. Many of the head honchos over at Disney Interactive revealed quite a bit about the game and the differences between versions, as well as a few goodies for Nintendo DS owners. We're here to savvy you landlubbers up and get you sea-worthy.

The first big announcement was the introduction of DS download hotspots in both Disneyland and Walt Disney World theme parks, to be activated after the video game's release. Park-goers carting their Dual Screens around with them will be able to download quite a few goodies for the DS title from these hot spots, such as Unlimited Health, Unlimited Savvy (a key battle element), as well as extra costumes for multiplayer games. Not bad!

There's also the good news that there will be, in fact, differences between the numerous versions, besides the obvious cosmetic ones. We're not sure what they are at the moment (besides the Jackanisms for the Nintendo Wii), but we also have the assurance of a lot of side quests and stories BESIDES the actual main storyline - so yay for massive amounts of replay value. In any case, here's the video interview in full - enjoy!
