I've already extensively played "Battlefield 1943" on test servers, but I'm still pretty pumped about it's release to the world next week. The game's dropping on XBLA on July 8th, and PSN on July 9th. Whether it's the "extraordinary value" that the press release claims is a little up in the air (just 3 maps at launch, simplified feature-set compared to recent "Battlefield" releases), it's still a lot of fun and for 15 bucks a dedicated player could very easily get a few weeks of very late nights.
It's kinda cool that the downloadable game release schedule picks up in the normally-slow summer months. Xbox still has its "Summer of Games" event planned, where they'll release a handful of anticipated XBLA games in July and August, and PSN has some gems coming out, as well. And with DLC like "Point Lookout," the lack of solid in-store games doesn't hurt quite as much as it used to.
