This product is like new. At NexWave Games, like new means:
Additionally, all discs at NexWave Games are carefully inspected and assessed for quality. When discs arrive, we do not accept any that are so badly damaged that they are unlikely to work. We only accept discs with light scratches at most. Discs with scratches are then treated in our professional disc repair machine. By warming the disc and polishing it with soft brushes, these machines can remove a very thin layer from the disc. This removes the layer containing surface scratches and improves the disc’s readability. This ensures the disc works properly, even on consoles with ageing lasers that have difficulty reading games! Great news for the player.
DC Universe Online for PlayStation 3
DC Universe Online centres on creating a hero or villain, action combat in Gotham and Metropolis and teaming with DC characters; PS3 support ended on 31 January 2018, so this disc is not promised as playable. Controls, objectives and progression were checked separately for this PlayStation 3 version, keeping the description tied to the offered disc without promising later edition content. Individual objectives and play rounds expand that core step by step. The review checks what you actually control in the original PlayStation 3 edition, which progression is present on the physical release and which accessories may be required separately. This keeps pacing, challenge and practical actions concrete without importing features from another version or later reissue.

New objectives bring systems together and demand increasing awareness. You learn which actions, equipment or routes fit a situation and immediately notice when timing or preparation can improve. This gives the campaign a clear rhythm without attributing features from other platforms or later reissues to this PlayStation 3 disc.

Region and language
Our PlayStation 3 games are European editions and come with a Dutch or English box, unless stated otherwise. By default, you receive the version for the European market. We note it in the product details if the region is different or the box is in another language. In almost all cases, the game is playable at least in English, and often in the other five common European languages too.
Manual
DC Universe Online for PlayStation 3 includes the manual unless the product title states otherwise. If the booklet is missing, the title says “No Manual”. This lets you see before ordering whether the game comes with a manual.
The manuals included with our games usually contain at least English and often around six European languages. The exact languages vary by edition, so Dutch is not always included. The booklet explains the controls and the main rules. You can use it to check how to control the game, which actions are available and how its different features work.
The history of DC Universe Online
Sony Online Entertainment developed DC Universe Online; Sony Online Entertainment released the PlayStation 3 edition on 14 januari 2011. The project found its place in the series through creating a hero or villain, action combat in Gotham and Metropolis and teaming with DC characters; PS3 support ended on 31 January 2018, so this disc is not promised as playable. This physical version is treated as the original PlayStation 3 release, so later patches, downloads, remasters and sequels are not silently added to the disc. Art direction, controls and progression were also reviewed in the original release context, keeping collectable content separate from later service changes.
The release arrived in a generation where larger worlds, faster storage and network services increasingly sat beside disc content. Campaign, local features and edition content are therefore separated here from accounts, servers and loose codes. This clarifies what historically belonged to DC Universe Online and what was a later or external provision. Art direction, controls and progression were also reviewed in the original release context, keeping collectable content separate from later service changes.
The PlayStation 3 edition of DC Universe Online was checked separately for platform, product title, delivery and original instructions. The description preserves this version's technical and content boundaries. Historical online features are not promised as available, while demonstrable solo and local disc content remains the baseline. Art direction, controls and progression were also reviewed in the original release context, keeping collectable content separate from later service changes.
