Back in May we saw Braid dated for a Mac release but have yet to hear anything about it hitting the Playstation 3. Well today, it seems that the Xbox Live Arcade title will be getting a Playstation 3 release after all as it has recently been listed on German’s USK website.

As you can see above, the document clearly states that Hothead Games’ Braid will be made avaialble for Sony’s Playstation 3.

Unfortunately, this is all we have to go by for now, we won’t know an official release date or price point until Sony comes forth and gives us one.

According to this blog post by creator Jonathan Blow, the PC release of Braid has been delayed to April 10 due to minor problems.

His post initially read “August 10″ but it was subsequently updated to read “an extra 10 days”. The game was originally due out on March 31.

Originally released for Xbox Live Arcade last August, the time-shifting platformer is scheduled for release on Steam, Greenhouse, Impulse and GamersGate for $15.

Having released the time-warping puzzle platformer Braid on Xbox Live Arcade, game developer Jonathan Blow revealed that the service’s certification requirements had become a burden during the game’s polishing phase.

“They removed some of the requirements for XBLA games, but there are still a lot of requirements,” he said. “And I believe that, at least for a single-player game like my game, the vast majority of these requirements are unnecessary.”

He continued, adding that he put “a tremendous amount of work” meeting the requirements, which, he noted, would have been more useful if he put it to work on the game itself. Blow further said that the amount of time and energy spent on passing certification has an impact on a title’s final product.
