Yesterday we reported that Limbo may be PSN-bound, if a Korean Game Ratings Board listing sought by Sony Computer Entertainment Korea is any indication. We reached out to developer Playdead for comment and CEO and co-founder Dino Patti got back to us today confirming the news.
"This might be the second time around we have been waiting for," Patti said, referencing his quote from last May in which he said, "You won't see a PS3 or PC version this time around." Patti said that "Limbo is in production for Steam and PSN, and is coming very soon." With a release date of "very soon" he predictably said more details would be coming shortly.
The small Playdead team is handling both ports itself, while also working on a new IP. "To be honest, we want as many people to play our games as possible," Patti told us last year at the Indiecade festival. "If we end up going exclusive, we may do it for various reasons, but we just want as many people to play the game as possible." Even after a period of exclusivity, there are a lot more gamers who are going to be able to play Limbo "very soon."

You can't be serious. Obviously you know nothing about audio. The file size for Braid on PS3 is 238.56 MB. The music alone in a 24Bit lossless format (lossless compression reduces a file size by roughly a third) would take up more space than that entire file size. 24Bit audio is currently reserved for audio engineers/musicians and is not standard for entertainment content.
Please stop spewing nonsense, both versions of the game will be pretty much the same.

I hope it is not the same as that boring XBLA game I played called Limbo that looked the same.

I thought the game was good, but I paid deal of the week price. I do agree it's overrated. Short, and not a lot of replay value.
It is still a very fun little adventure though (for 5-10$).

I already own this for my XBox but I'll probably end up getting it for my PS3 as well.
I just can't say no to easy trophies.

This is the only game I got 100% achievements on. Total first day buy for me on Steam.
I guarantee it will come out at 50% off the first week on steam.........don't know why, but it will.

I am not a fan of paying the same price for a game someone did a year ago, so I think I will pass.

I have been wanting to play this but that is a tad too pricey.
