Colin McRae DiRT is set to launch on PlayStation 3 on Friday, September 14, but PS3 gamers needn't wait to get their hands dirty.

One option is to pick up the Xbox 360 version - ownership of Xbox 360 console required - or alternatively log onto the PlayStation Store and download the newly released DiRT demo.

The PS3 demo includes a host of game modes including the start of the Cuconi B rally stage in Sardinia - exclusive to the PS3 demo.
