Kotaku is reporting that the PS3 will receive an exclusive “Divine Edition” release of upcoming Dante’s Inferno game.

The Dante’s Inferno Divine Edition is the version all PlayStation 3 owners will be receiving once the game is released on February 9th, so there’s no need to worry about changing over your preorders or making sure you don’t get a gimped version accidentally. Whether they want it or not, they’re getting it. What are they getting? On top of the game itself, the Divine Edition comes with developer commentaries, a Wayne Barlow digital art book, the game’s soundtrack, and a digital copy of the complete Longfellow translation of Dante Alighieri’s Inferno

….

The Divine Edition of Dante’s Inferno certainly contains enough additional content to justify jacking the price up another $10, but EA is delivering this treat to PlayStation 3 owners for just $59.99, the same price Xbox 360 owners will pay for their plain vanilla version, barring any forthcoming announcements of special content for Microsoft console owners.
