This is interesting since I'm sure they same company stated that the game could not work on any console besides the PS3.

Still interesting nevertheless... though I do wonder whether this means that XNA developer games could get ports to the PSN. I don't see it happening cause it depends on the programmers, but I wonder.

Great game btw!

XNA was used by the design team to make prototypes of what they were designing. The programming team then looked at these prototypes and created the PS3 game. The XNA stuff isn't the actual game, it's really like the blueprint that was used to build the real game.
