PS3 Gets "Divine" Inferno
Well, if you're one of those gamers who own both a PS3 and an Xbox 360, and were actually going to buy Dante's Inferno, EA and Visceral Games just made choosing which console to buy it for a whole heck of a lot easier. The PlayStation 3 will be getting an exclusive "Divine Edition" which will contain developer commentaries, a Wayne Barlowe digital art book, the soundtrack to the game and a digital version of the complete Longfellow translation of Dante Aligheri's Inferno for the same regular retail price of $59.99. Huh. I guess they figured they oughta do something useful with all that extra space on the Blu-Ray disc...
"We are thrilled to offer an exclusive game pack for PlayStation 3 gamers," said Jonathan Knight, Executive Producer for Dante's Inferno. "The PlayStation platform has a long history of delivering AAA action/adventure games. Adding Dante's Inferno to that rich catalogue is very exciting for the team. And with the demo now available on the PlayStation Network, players can finally get a taste of what awaits them in the full game on Feb 9th."
The Dante's Inferno "Gates of Hell" demo is currently available on the PlayStation Network starting today, and will pop up on Xbox LIVE on December 24. The game itself, as Knight said, will release on February 9.

It's interesting that EA is making the PS3 version the favored one, since that puts Dante's Inferno in even more direct competition with God of War 3. Although I suppose that the Xbox 360 doesn't need the extra incentive since that console doesn't have a game in that style already.
After playing the demo, it's not gonna be any competition for GoWIII. Not saying the game is bad, but it's something we've played before. Might pick it up tho since it was rather fun, even if it is a GoW clone in most respects.
