Mirror's Edge Gets Exclusive PS3 DLC

Reversing the trend of Xbox 360-exclusive downloadable content in multi-platform games, Sony has revealed that EA DICE's parkour-inspired first-person action game Mirror's Edge (PC, PS3, 360) will sport some PlayStation 3-only DLC.

"Exclusive downloadable content will be offered on the PlayStation Network," Sony Computer Entertainment informed Eurogamer. "PlayStation has an exclusive marketing agreement with EA regarding the title."

No details were offered as to what that content will be. DICE previously told Shacknews that the PS3 version of the Unreal Engine 3-powered game was leading development.

The title now opposes Bethesda's Fallout 3 and Rockstar North's Grand Theft Auto IV in the brewing DLC conflict of 2008, with GTA4 receiving exclusive DLC on the Xbox 360 and Fallout 3 getting PC and 360-only downloadable content.

I don't understand this ... EA is trying to split exclusivity to maximize the sales of each plateform (understandable). But this silly... I don't see people saying : "ooh I'm gonna get this console instead of that one because there is some exclusive DLC on it"... Ridiculous ! And the XBOX360 install base remains the biggest, especially regarding the sales via XBOX Live so ... I'm following ME with great expectations, but as a X360 users, I feel a bitter taste ;)

This looks to be a title better suited for console than PC, but we'll have to see.

on the one hand, it's silly to have exclusive DLC on the principle that it's an artificial barrier; on the other, if it's content that wouldn't be created in the first place without the additional financial incentive, it's a good thing if it's good content.

if it's content that would have been universal before the roping off, then it's bad for gamers, obviously

that said, I'm a fan of console exclusive games because they tend to be better optimized for specific systems. many cross platform games are technically rubbish compared to console exclusives. I was playing MGS4 recently and it's ridiculous what can be eked out visually when devs focus on one system and don't need to downscale to the lowest common denominator in features between systems

This game will go "splish". Fallout 3 will go "SPLOOOOOOSHHHHHHHH" and wet a crowd of bikini-clad bimbos whose tops all fall off simultaneously.

I think I'll take Fallout 3 and GTA IV over Mirror's Edge. I can live with missing out on some downloadable stuff for an unproven game if that means I can get more GTA and Fallout goodness.

PC Gamers have to wait for "exclusive" releases to be ported and now the PC sometimes don't get the DLC. Oh how the mighty have fallen. What's this world coming to?
