Research status
Structured source record
01

Release context

The documented release is 2006 (the exact day and month are not documented) for Worldwide on Seventh generation. Date precision is preserved exactly: the archive does not invent a day when the source records only a month or year.

02

Regional differences

This record is scoped to Worldwide. The linked structured source does not document a separate regional title or package difference, so PLAYBACK does not infer one.

03

Physical packaging

The physical format is documented as Optical disc / digital. The current structured source does not enumerate every insert, manual, sleeve, or bonus item, so no unverified contents are claimed.

04
