I used to hate the early Xbox years when a title like Silent Hill 2 for PS2 would hit, and then shortly afterwards a version for Xbox with more content would appear. Seems the process is being console reversed now: Eternal Sonata's PS3 incarnation will feature two character that were previously non-playable (Serenade and Prince Crescendo) and extra story sequences. Grrr! The only motive here can be to drive a gamer to buy a game twice, which peeves me beyond description.
Maybe Xbox 360 owners who have already bought the game will get the extras as downloadable content, but of course what reason would one have to buy the PS3 version then? I'm betting much like Silent Hill 2, you have to shell out another $50-$60 to get a whole new copy of the game just to check out the extras. Sure, we can resist, but it makes me feel manipulated, dammitt.

I still wonder why they do that, though.
Curse you, Silent Hill... One of the many reasons I was eventually forced to buy a PS2 when I was perfectly happy with my Xbox!
It'll be there eventually, but not when the PS3 version comes out, or even soon afterwards.
Truuuust me. :)
Eventually gamers are just going to get fed up and stop buying games right when they come out......maybe..
I just hope the online play and other functions are added to the PS3 version of VF5 in a download. I could care less about Loli Sonata.
I hope it come as DLC, but I'm doubting it.
I'll probably buy it again.
I've never been one to buy two versions of a game because one version contained more weapons, characters, maps, missions, etc. To me the little extra never seemed worth it. Now if the game were to be released on a console I didn't own and later re-released on a console that I did own with extra content, that's a different story.
perhaps another game to keep talladega nights company...
there are so few...
covah was right.
...did I mention I LOVE THIS GAME???
OMG IMAGE STEALING
