CrimeCraft will release on August 25, and Best Buy has the exclusive rights to sell it.

That’s right, you can’t buy it anywhere else thanks to the hand shaking between the retail giant, Vogster, and THQ.

The good news, though, is that you can get it online instead of walking into the store if you like, and you will be rewarded with two months of free play and some in-game shirts.

If you pre-order, your in-game character will also get to sport a pair of Eckos (shoes), a spot in the beta and the full game three days earlier than folks who didn’t pre-order.

You can find out more through the link above.

Vogster announced today that those interested in participating in the CrimeCraft closed Beta can now sign up.

The persistent world-shooter-rpg will have additional Beta slots opened over the course of the summer, so if you haven’t created an account on the official site, get to it.

Currently, the game is slated to ship for PC on August 25.

Press release is below.

Leading up to E3, there is not a megaton of news with anything, let alone MMOs. The week was basically all about screens, delving into crafting systems and character sheets, and general stuff that you can view on any online game’s website. It’s called pre-E3 malaise, and today it’s pretty thick.

However, we have dug through the mire once more to bring you something in the way of MMO news that didn’t hit the front page.

You can catch up on it all after the break.

Rumours were rife last night that Crimecraft developer Vogster was set to can a 360 version of the company’s GTA-style, free-to-play MMO.

However, a Vogster rep got in touch with various media outlets this morning to clarify the situation:

“To be clear a console or 360 version has not been ‘canned’,” said the rep.

“The 360 SKU was toyed with in early development but the team has been focusing on the PC SKU and has always planned on it being PC only at initial launch, with the potential for additional platforms down the road. Xbox 360 included.”

Thanks, Joystiq.

Update: Vogster has also released a new trailer for the game which you can see after the break.

The game will be “an innovative massively multiplayer online game for PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3… set in a modern world. Players will take part in the political, economical and social life of a big city. They will run businesses, engage in commerce, and suffer the consequences of confrontations with criminal groups and shadowy law enforcement figures. Powerful AI will support the constantly changing atmosphere of the streets and enable players to feel the live pulse of the Megapolis.”
