Defiance PlayStation 3 pre-order available, comes in four editions

Definiance, Trion Worlds' shooter MMO tying into a new SyFy series, is headed to PlayStation 3 in four different forms.

The MMO does not require a monthly subscription, adopting a cover charge model similar to Guild Wars and, as of late, The Secret World.

It's due on PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in April, and as detailed on the PS Blog, comes in four flavours on the PS3, depending on how many bucks you can lay down for how much bang. It's likely similar packages will be available for other platforms, too.
