EA announced today that sci-fi survival horror game Dead Space is gold and ready to unleash screams starting October 14th in North America. Xbox 360 and PS3 players who purchase the game within the first two weeks of its release will be able to download console-specific space suits. Pre-orders from GameStop Online, EB Canada Online and "select" European retailers will receive the Scorpion suit. The suits feature a new look (seen above), along with "increased toughness and inventory slots."
Remember, the North America EA Store is also offering the "Ultra Limited" edition (only 1,000 copies) for $150. Those will also begin shipping Oct. 14th.

Well, looks like I'll be getting it for the PS3.

Both suits look OK to me.
Obvious PS3fanboy would say the Blue suit looks better.
Obvious 360fanboy would say that the Green suit looks better.
Don't try to hide your fanboyism.

Wait for it, this is gonna blow your mind Hala.
I own a 360 and like the blue one the best.
I know, your head just exploded, right?

Well, if you look closer at the two suits you'd see that they are both similar with the exception of the console based color. So I assume the vidikron just likes the red-blue hue that the left one has as opposed to the others white-green color.

Speak for yourself. I don't have the PS3, and I think that one is cooler.
(Fucking Christmas. I have even less money then usale and you have to put out all these games I want at once!)

This is pretty much it right here. I just like the color scheme better. It honestly has nothing to do with the systems. I actually own and like both systems. And FWIW, I currently have Dead Space on my Gamefly list as a 360 game.

Actually, I'd disagree that Xbox360fanboy would blindly claim the xbox skin is better. They're impressively unbiased over there. I don't think the same can be said for PS3fanboy though. Does Nick Doerr still write for them? he was the WORST fanboy ever.

Sounds like the limited edition is actually limited. I still see the GTA IV and Halo 3 "Super Limited Editions" with huge price cuts.

Ah, cool. I see what they did there, color scheme of the console...in before some wisecrack about the 360 skin needing a red glow from the visor.

I'm a dark and mysterious sort of person, so I'm liking more the one to the left. The one to the right looks like Master Chief's distant cousin ¬_¬

It's his not-so-fortunate cousin, Isaac.
The one on the left would be annoying while playing the game.. you know, since it takes place in the dark most of the time haha.

If you buy it for the Wii, you get a gimped, poor graphics, worse gameplay port. Except you don't get it at all, as Dead Space is "exclusive" to the PS3, 360 and PC.

Shut up, all of you. None of the suits look good. They made one section of the armor, then cloned the crap out of it.
The legs, boots, and head look alright, but the rest just looks like it was made in a day.
The game still looks awesome, and I definitely looking forward to it, but I'm not really impressed by their suit design.

In a nutshell, I would say that the PS3 version looks a bit more sinister, and the 360 version looks like it has a mean set of jazz hands and spirit fingers.
