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.

I’ve had 3 separate sources tell me that we can expect a Collector’s Edition for the up coming Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3, due out November 11th this year.
No word on if this package will be available for the PS3, or 360, or both, nor any information on pricing or what it will include, only that it will be available.
I’m sure if this rumor is true we’ll see listing for it shortly.
