About The Testament of Sherlock Holmes
Sherlock Holmes causes a stir! For over ten years, millions of players have donned the hat and magnifying glass of the world’s greatest detective, in a dozen games for PC and handheld systems. This year, Sherlock Holmes makes a triumphant return in his very first adventure specially designed for the PlayStation® 3 and Xbox 360® game consoles! All the mystery and intrigue will also be available on PC.
1898, London. All the evidence of police investigation points at Sherlock Holmes as the main suspect in a case involving theft, fraud and double-crossings. Unable to prove his own innocence, Holmes is rapidly losing London’s trust as doubt spreads through the city like wildfire. Even Doctor Watson’s faith in his friend begins to waver, as the famous detective flees Scotland Yard and raises further suspicion; prowling around at night, destruction of evidence… would Holmes go so far as to commit murder? A mainstay genre of console games, The Testament of Sherlock Holmes is playable with a gamepad in a third person view, with controls thought and specially developed with consoles in mind. The new game engine was also specially built to display complex scenes and high-resolution textures. The game features lush, captivating environments and truly raises the bar for console adventure games. The complex and decidedly-mature storyline surrounds a particularly tricky investigation, in which each and every puzzle will challenge both insight and wits! As Sherlock Holmes, you will use the detective’s full repertoire: handle and inspect clues, reenact crimes and use the game’s new deduction system to draw your own conclusions. Choose your questioning approach to catch characters off guard and gather valuable information. Players are facing an open investigation, and must decide which leads to follow and which to ignore.

Can it be preordered anywhere for pc? Amazon just has Playstation and XBox?
Edited to say I found preorder info on Frogwares for download. Does anyone know if there will be a boxed version for PC?

The release date hasn't changed, Kathy.  It'll be available for PC download in North America, plus of course the console versions.

Since The Hood has already announced that there will not be a Boxed disk version for North America I assume that Dave's will be an Import...Do we know if what he will get are the limited Collectors Box release for the 10 years of Sherlock Holmes and Frogwares, that will include some cool goodies stated by The Hood above in which only 500 will be made?...way to go Dave...Thank you!
As far as DRM is concerned it has been stated on another Forum the there will be Online Activation for the disk release. Apparently you can have unlimited activations through Frogwares and can load the game on up to 3 computers. Maybe TheHood will see this and chime in. I am only guessing but I would imagine that activations are not transferable or what would be the point of the DRM.
