PS3 fans will be happy to know that EA has announced the Dante’s Inferno “Devine” special edition, exclusively for the PlayStation 3 system.

This version of the game will be available to anyone who purchases the game for the PS3 and includes a number of “special edition”-standard-fare features.

These include: developer commentaries, a Wayne Barlowe digital art book, the soundtrack to the game and a digital version of the complete Longfellow translation of Dante Alighieri’s Inferno, all for the standard retail price of $59.99.

A Dante’s Inferno demo is also available now for the PlayStation 3. Xbox 360 owners will have to wait until December 24th, 2009 to get their taste of the game in demo form.

In the Dante’s Inferno “Gates of Hell” demo, gamers will experience Dante Alighieri’s re-imagined past, as a crusader who returns home to Florence to discover his true love, Beatrice, murdered. Sworn to her rescue, Dante must journey to the Gates of Hell and beyond to battle undead monstrosities, unholy boss demons, and Death himself. Offering a glimpse into the vast world of Dante’s Inferno, the demo serves as a prelude to the player’s perilous journey through the nine circles of hell.

EA’s Dante’s Inferno is an epic descent through Dante Alighieri’s nine circles of hell – limbo, lust, gluttony, greed, anger, heresy, violence, fraud and treachery. At a blazing-fast 60 frames per second, each circle features unique environments, all new creatures, terrifying demons, story elements and are scored distinctly to set a tone that fits each circle of sinners.

In addition to the Dante’s Inferno: Animated Movie, you can also get a taste of the game’s world with the Dante’s Inferno comic in this mini-version released online.

The game itself will be out on February 5th, 2010 for Xbox 360, PS3 and PSP. Once you get the game, be sure to check out our Dantes Inferno walkthrough.
