| Pirates of the Burning Sea Sets Sail Grab your parrot, raise the gang plank and ready the cannons with Pirates of the Burning Sea (PotBS), an online PC game where players can clash on land and sea. This new title from Sony Online Entertainment's Platform Publishing label, and Flying Lab Software, is available now at participating retail outlets worldwide and as a digital download through www.station.com and www.direct2drive.com. Players start by joining the French, Spanish, English or Pirate nations as a naval officer, freetrader, privateer or pirate. At sea, players can blow enemy ships out of the water. On land, players can engage in a world of action and peril rife with sword fights. A unique economy lets players become captains of industry, running mines, lumber mills, shipyards and other large-scale operations.
