PS3, XBox 360, PC - Mirror's Edge - Image 1

If there’s such high-profile games like GTA4 with exclusive content on XBL, it shouldn’t come as a surprise these days that other multiplatform games might go the same route: exclusive DLC for one console or other. This day we get word that the PS3 version of Mirror’s Edge will be getting exclusive content via the PlayStation Network.

EA Digital Illusions CE (DICE) seems to have some special deal with Sony, as Sony’s statement, via a spokesperson, reveals the following:

PlayStation has an exclusive marketing agreement with EA regarding the title. Exclusive downloadable content will be offered on the PlayStation Network.

After getting hailed as the best Xbox 360 title at Leipzig, you’d think that Digital Illusions would have brought some form of loving to the 360 fans too. But then again, it was Digital Illusions themselves that stated before that the PS3 platform was superior suited for the game.

While exclusive content on PSN seems to be confirmed, this doesn’t automatically rule out that other forms of exclusive content could also eventually arrive for the Xbox 360 and Personal computer versions of the FPS game. We’ll bring you guys news as further developments take place.
