The features that are included in the "Retail Version" of the Playstation 3 copy of Lost Planet are downloadable for free on Xbox Live, and the Xbox 360 version costs only $29.99 in stores, because it was a Platinum Hit best-seller.

I just thought I would let people know about that, because that is a 25% savings on the Xbox 360 version.

I should mention that if rumble is important to you, the Xbox 360 version really does an excellent job of rumbling.

Obviously we don't know how that feature will work on the PS3, since the PS3 controller doesn't rumble, but it might in the future if Lost Planet is one of the games that will support the rumble ability of the PS3 controllers.
