Because people are dumb with their loyalty to mega corporations. "I don't want it free, I want my collection to match!"

Not sure what that has to do with corporate loyalty. Personally, I have all three consoles, but I prefer the 360 controller for games of this type and would rather have it on the 360. I suppose I will wait to see what EA does with regard to an actual collector's edition for this game as a copy of a game I already own on the Wii is not enough incentive to buy the PS3 version.

Yeh Dead Space was AWESOME. Played through it three times and will do so again before #2 comes out.

I'm getting them both on PS3. you haters who own both systems but get it on 360.

...that sucks.

Here is the chronological order of the Dead Space franchise:

'Dead Space' - comic book with 6 issues, is also an animated comic book via PSN/XBL
'Dead Space: Extraction' - Wii game
'Dead Space: Downfall' - animated film, direct prequel to Dead Space
'Dead Space' - PS3/360
'Dead Space: Aftermath' - second animated feature, what happened to marker after Isaac left.
'Dead Space: Salvage' - second graphic novel, what happened to Ishimura after Isaac departed.
'Dead Space: Ignition' - PSN/XBLA collection of 3 games, prequel to Dead Space 2.
'Dead Space 2' - what happens to Isaac on the space station "Sprawl".

.

"Dead Space Extraction on PlayStation 3 will offer the entire single-player game complete with all-new trophy support, as well as co-op gameplay, using the new PlayStation Move motion controller, in addition to the standard DUALSHOCK3 and SIXAXIS controllers. Dead Space Extraction will also be sold separately as a standalone game via the PlayStation Store."

I was hoping to pick up Dead Space 2 a month or two after its release at a cheaper price...but since the LE with Extraction might actually be limited, may have to pick it up sooner that I thought...

Oh well, I have months to decide.

I liked it so much that after I got a platinum on the PS3 version I traded it for a 360 copy and 1000/1000'd it then traded in back for PS3 so when I get DS2 on PS3 they'll match, plus since from what I recall DS2 is going to have online and a friend of mine is getting it on PS3 as well I wanted to get it so we could play it online.

Thanks for this. Is Aftermath and/or Salvage out right now? Also, the Ignition game is coming out this fall, right?

EDIT: I did some searching and neither of those are out, they were just announced at Comic-Con.

Are people still debating over Move for Extraction? In June it was confirmed to be compatible with Move or the DS3, although Move will obviously be the best way to play.

We don't know if they'll be comparable, only when we get close to release. There's been plenty of multi-platform games that have been better on one console than the other, and again, we'll see what happens.

Plus, I have a pre-order for the 360 version locked in with Amazon when they had it for $42.65, so it would be the same price essentially for me with the added PSN content for DS: E (HD), if I replaced that pre-order with the PS3 version.

And in true CAG fashion, I'd pay the right price for the right version of the game that looks the best and plays the best.

I prefer the 360 controller over the PS3 controller, yes, and I prefer to get my multiplatform games on the 360 versus the PS3, except in a few cases where the PS3 version is the better version (FF XIII).

My copy is costing me $35 and I chose the PS3 version.

YOU ALL
Was the actual Amazon price $42.65 or somewhere close to that at some point? Seems odd that theyd list it that low. Oh well I'm sure it'll be worth whatever I end up paying for it anyway.

Edit: Ok I didnt realize I already ordered it lol but mines only cheap because I have credit applied to it. It was normally 56.99. $25.77 for the PS3 version after the credit.

Sexy double features are sexy.

Really want Extraction HD, so the decision is made for me.

If you're waiting on which version that will "look and play the best" between PS3 and 360...

EA has confirmed that the PS3 is the lead platform in development for both games. Yes, even the PC is getting a "port" of the PS3 code. Also, the first Dead Space is 100% identical on both platforms, so I don't see why the second one wouldn't.

P.S. Amazon will have no issues with changing your 360 order to a PS3 one. No excuse now.

Dang, PC version getting gimped?
Oh well.

We need more of this anyway:

It was originally listed as $49.25 or so and I had an ECA order open for 30% off. So it took around $15 off the $50 price.
