Dear Baseball Fan,

It's been confirmed that Out of the Park Baseball 2006 will be available for download on the 31st May 2006. It's been a long, involving and interesting process since we joined Sports Interactive in May 2004 but we're incredibly pleased with the game and we know that it'll be worth the wait for all of you. With just 27 days to go till it's out, we wanted to keep you updated on what's been happening!

Before you read anything else, why not take a look at the latest game screenshots in our gallery?

Although there are no longer any pre-ordering discounts available, by making that purchase today you can secure yourself a decent download server on 5/31 and you can also rest assured that you'll be notified well in advance of anyone else. All you have to do is visit http://www.elicense.com/sigames/store!

The game is priced at $34.99 and it will be available on PC and Mac (Mac pre-ordering is not available currently)

PLEASE NOTE: When you pre-order, Sports Interactive will take payment from your card immediately.

As part of our commitment to keep every OOTP Baseball 2006 fan involved in the development process as much as possible, we've kept not only development blogs but also interesting pieces of information from our testers. It's all available to read on our website.
