Hothead Games has announced a PlayStation 3 version of Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness.

Late autumn is the target, and for a price similar to the previously-released PC and Xbox 360. The latter costs 1600 Microsoft Points (GBP 13.60 / EUR 19.20) on Xbox Live Arcade.

That turned out to be rather a lot for the quirky role-playing adventure, which had all the personality of Penny Arcade but flunky mechanics underneath.

Rain-Slick is set in a deranged 1920s horror-cum-comic world and presented as if lifted from the web cartoon.
