Structured source record
01

Release context

The documented release is 2005 (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 DVD-ROM. The current structured source does not enumerate every insert, manual, sleeve, or bonus item, so no unverified contents are claimed.

04

18 hardware configurations are linked to this family: Core — white, Pro / Premium — white, Elite — black, Arcade — white, Halo 3, Resident Evil 5 — red, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, Final Fantasy XIII — white, 10 more.
