On November 9th, THQ's WWE SmackDown Vs. Raw 2009 clotheslines its way to stores, with Inferno matches and a very sweet Create-A-Finisher mode. Although both the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions look identical, only one comes with bonus content. In a strange move, THQ plans to release a PS3 exclusive special edition that contains a bonus Blu-ray disc that includes a making of documentary as well as two hours of WWE matches from 2008. To top it off, the North American version comes wrapped in steel cage packaging, while the European and Asian editions come with a mini wrestling ring.

Although 360 fans may see this as a kick in the groin, it's possible that THQ worked a deal with Sony to attract more consumers to PS3. As for the content, a behind the scenes documentary and matches we watched months ago does little to entice us. If anything, we're more interested in that steel cage.
