Yeah saw that earlier, didn't feel the need to post it though since it's also supported on the 360, PS3, and the Wii lol....

Yes. I mean the support is there, but why didn't we see this on PS3?

I played Batman: AA on PC with PhysX and then City on PS3 and there was a huge difference. Certainly not Physx at its full potential then.

Of course not, PS3 didn't have the horse power to render the extra effects :P

It's like Borderlands or Batman right? Low-Mid-High PhysX settings on PC, PS3 and 360 would be on the low part.

Can't figure out from article if it's only CPU version or it's OpenCL for GPU.

If it's only CPU solution, I think lot of devs will jump ship and opt for Havok, considering Sony demoed it running on GPU.

The future would be bright if it's OpenCL based since we can then run the GPU code on computers in multiple OSes with only some modding.
