* Since the finale airs in less than 2 weeks, I would imagine the answer to the last part of your question would be no. This also makes it less likely that the non-UK commercial release announced for July will be of the full set (bet that will go over like a lead balloon with fans, especially if the cost for the first game is anything more than what you might pay for an iTunes song download). My wild guess is that the game releases will be spelled out over the coming months, maybe linking up with the Christmas special.

* The second game is being released (or at least announced) on 22 June, so that pretty much answers the question. The other two will probably not follow until later in the summer. That also means the so-called "retail version" non-UK fans are being forced to buy will likely be just the one game at a time. That's assuming they even release it. Over in North America we are still waiting for the international release of [[Destiny of the Doctors]] from a decade ago.

==Edit needed, and a section suggestion== | |||
I can't edit this because the article is protected -- there's an outdated reference to an "unofficial announcement" of the release date for the second game. Obviously the announcement is official now following the press conference of a few days ago. Also, how about adding a section explaining (with sources) the reasoning behind why the games are free in the UK but not elsewhere? If you go around the boards and blogs there is a lot of people who don't understand why this has happened. There's also been some media criticism of the BBC funding the games, too. Granted, the whole "UK pays the license fee; everyone else doesn't" argument applies to many other geo-restricted online content such as Captain Jack's Monster Files, Attack of the Graske, etc. but these games are certainly the most prominent example of UK-restricted content to date. (Probably the only thing that might exceed it would be if the BBC, heaven forbid, were to produce a Doctor Who episode available to UK audiences only.)
