2K Sports has announced that Top Spin 3 has gone gold and will be released in Europe on the 20th of June on Xbox 360, Playstation 3, Wii and Nintendo DS. They also took the opportunity to release images for each platform.

2K Sports press release:
2K Sports announced today that Top Spin 3 for PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system, Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, Wii™ home video game system, and Nintendo DS™ has gone gold. Created by 2K’s PAM Development studio, Top Spin 3 will be available at retailers across North America starting June 24th.

As the most authentic tennis video game, Top Spin 3 features stunning graphics and revolutionary gameplay that contains innovative new controls, signature player animations and styles, and expansive online offerings. Top Spin 3 gives players control over a wide selection of current top ranked tennis pros like Andy Roddick, Roger Federer and Maria Sharapova, as well legendary* players Boris Becker, Bjorn Borg and Monica Seles. An incredibly deep player creator system provides fans with complete control over every aspect of their character with a new freeform face sculpting editor, and customizable swing animations, hairstyles, makeup, tattoos and grunts.

Top Spin 3 offers a wide variety of gameplay and features, including situation-specific behaviors, revamped audio with enhanced crowd reaction, and precise controls that fans can easily pick up and play while still providing the most genuine tennis experience possible. All-new Evolutionary Visuals™ showcase the intensity of the game as players sweat, demonstrate fatigue and accumulate grass and clay stains on their clothing over the course of a match, while competing at courts that have dynamic weather changes. Competitive players will also be able to create matches online and test their skills against friends or other ranked players around the world via singles or doubles in Exhibition, Custom, or World Tour Matches.

I'm not much of a tennis fan, but played Top Spin 2 on PC cuz it has the sexiest ladies i've ever seen in a vg!
As for me - Top Spin 3 only needs to have improved graphics.

Does anybody see the difference btw PS3 and 360 versions?

Those screens suck. I loved VT3, and I'm willing to give this one a try unless it receives poor reviews.

If you loved VT3 you prolly wont LOVE this one, Top Spin has a totally different feel to VT3, way more realism and less smurfy characters running around :P

Bit annoying that Nadal is only available on the PS3 edition. You'd think that a multiplatform title would have the same characters all the way!

Look dude, we're not going to put up with that kind of stuff around here, so shape up or ship out.

360 shadows look lik crap... PS3 looks a bit clearer, and without those annoying half shadows.

This is going to be superb, only annoying thing is Nadal is exclusive to PS3

Typical, babies still crying over which version looks best instead of just enjoying the apropriate version of the game for their console... That is, assuming you like tennis games at all, in which case, what the hell are doing here? Grow up kids, one day you might like it.
