Saints Row The Third’s PS3-exclusive mode is MIA

Back at E3 in June, Volition announced that the PS3 version of Saints Row The Third would be shipping out with an exclusive mode, featuring the game’s “signature weapon”.

So what is it? Well, it isn’t, for starters.

Review copies were sent out last week already, and according to a report over on Joystiq, the PS3 and Xbox 360 disc content is identical.

Whatever it was that Volition had originally planned has apparently not worked out.

THQ’s reponse so far has been the usual “No comment” stuff, although I guess I can see why this is a bit awkward. I mean, they’ve really stiffed their homies on this one.

It’s also not the first time PS3 gamers have been robbed of promised exclusives – PS3 copies of Battlefield 3 were supposed to include a free copy of Battlefield 1943, but didn’t.

Interestingly, this was also a promise made at E3, so maybe this is all the result of a backstage dare between publishers.

In other news, the Saints Row The Third launch trailer has been released.
