Fight Night Round 3 hits the Playstation 3 on Dec. 12, EA Sports announced today. Besides updated graphics, the PS3 version of the game will include a new Get in the Ring, first-person mode.

Get in the Ring mode allows gamers to experience the fight through the eyes of the boxer from the moment they step into the ring until someone is KO'd. The unique first person view can be played on or offline, throughout the career mode or in single bouts. For the first time ever, gamers will truly experience the sensation of the sport with different visual and audio effects occurring throughout the fight such as ear ringing, restricted vision, flashes of bright light, color shifts and blur effects that simulate the sense and feeling of getting punched.

The PS3 version will also have ESPN Integration, which deliver the latest scores and news with streaming radio, ESPN motion, live ticker updates, and ESPNEWS; and new split-screen fights. Sounds kinda cool, though not overwhelmingly different than the 360 version. I wonder if EA will be releasing a first-person update for the 360? Brian Crecente
