Spread across the US and Europe, it's using the mobile (Java, Brew, RIM and Windows Mobile), and iPhone releases, to promote the franchise's revival on Xbox 360 and PS3 five days later.
Carrier choiceCombined with a joint marketing approach, it suggests a level of faith by the publisher in carriers that many of its rivals seem to have abandoned following the rise of thirdparty mobile app stores.

Operators will be able to pitch the game's price wherever they believe it fits in with their respective marketplaces.
