Red Alert 3 Coming to Playstation 3 as "Ultimate Edition"

It's not an "Ultimate Edition" until she's naked!

Previously, the Playstation 3 version of real-time strategy title Red Alert 3 was put on "indefinite hold" by Electronic Arts. In November, it was revealed that a potential Playstation 3 version was in the works, and would include special features not seen on any other platform.

Now, PS3 Fanboy reports that an EA Store listing -- now apparently removed -- has revealed the exclusive content, as well as practically confirming the title, despite no official renouncement of the hold status.

Find bloopers, behind the scenes, and developer strategy videos. There will also be brand new battleground maps. You'll be able to access the soundtrack from the game, and study with a built-in Unit Profiles video encyclopedia. To top it all, there's an exclusive HD version of a video feature, "Girls of RA3," which focuses on the women featured in the game.

Maybe I've finally found a reason to buy a PS3... Forget the new maps; just give me the video feature.

The "Girls of RA3" video was in the CE on the PC edition, and it was only about 3 minutes, and really lame.

The only thing that would is really cool in this package is the unit videos. The maps will probably be released in an upcoming update.

Overall, the game was just lacking compared to any other RTS that's been released since Red Alert 2. Luckily I got the CE for 50% off because it was onsale and I had a gift card.

And here I was going to just pick it up on Steam.

Well, I'm still going to, for RTS I haven't yet been sold on the controller. It works, it's definitely functional from what I've played in demos. I guess I'm too much of an old dog to make the switch though when it comes down to it.
