PS3-Exclusive Version of Dead Space Will Include Extraction

This is what you get for believing.

Rumors of a HD Dead Space: Extraction port have been swirling since the dinosaurs choked on cosmic dust, but now some can be put to rest. A PS3 version of Dead Space: Extraction with PS Move support will be shipped alongside a PS3-exclusive limited edition bundle of Dead Space 2.

The Visceral Games crew and Sony didn't have much to divulge about the title other than the fact that it would be included on the Dead Space 2 game disc, lending some credence to rumors that pegged Dead Space: Extraction as a downloadable-sized title. Questions as to if the game will ever make its way to PSN or even Xbox Live Marketplace weren't addressed during the briefing.

When publishers start throwing around words like "exclusive," it's best to take said exclusivity with a grain of salt. The Dead Space: Extraction downloadable port rumors were particularly persistent and have earned some cred with this announcement. There seems like there's still a chance we could see Extraction in other places.

Yeah, it's a great game -- and available on the cheap now if you don't want to wait for Move.

Extraction won't require Move, will it?  I know it supports the tech, but I'm not sure I'll be investing into it quite yet.  This seems like a pretty good bonus, though.

Would have been great if they added Move support to DS2 too.

 " it would be included on the Dead Space 2 game disc, lending some credence to rumors that pegged Dead Space: Extraction as a downloadable-sized title"
 
Dont forget that the PS3 is blu-ray.  Extraction HD could be a whopping 30 gigs!  It wont, but it could be.
 
My guess its a PS3 exclusive now only because of the blu-ray's extra breathing room.  Makes me think more that at a later date that It will come out as a DL game.

It sounded like only the "DS2+Extraction combo" was an exclusive. There's no chance they would make Extraction exclusive, this is EA after all.
 
But having said that, that's an awesome deal and i'll grab it for sure.

Cool. Dead Space 2 is already day one for me regardless. I've been wanting to play Extraction and this sweetens the deal. But I guess I'll have to buy a Move. Damn you Sony!!

If I add PS3-exclusive content, will Sony pay me?

That's a pretty sweet bonus. Don't think I'll ever get to use it though unless someone gives me a free move wand.

Oh boy. Here I was hoping I'd get to play it without waving my arms about like a goober.

That game is so much better than anyone thinks it is.  
...but dammit, now I have a(nother) reason to buy Move.
