I've only played the demo of both, and only for a few minutes, but I think Limbo seems much more artistic (in the way I'm thinking about this) than Braid or any other game that I've seen or played. Games being stories, graphics, sound, concepts, literal artwork, etc... I don't see them as being too different from movies or stories of any other kind. There are things that are better about a book, or something else that's real quality... I think people and companies should put more efforts into thinking of games like some kind of art and not just something to get carpal tunnel syndrome with. Done correctly, video games could get a lot of people's attention away from a lot of books or movies that they might otherwise spend their time on. It's just that they're basically not really up to the level of a 1,000-page novel or an Oscar-winning film. I think it's because the people and companies behind treat them as games instead of as a very serious form of entertainment or art.
If I owned a PS3, I would care about what the Xbox 360 gets. Owning an Xbox 360, I don't care about what the PS3 gets. Exclusive content is content, so if it's good it's good. Mortal Kombat used to be a real cool game, I hope this one's very improved and as good as it seems like it should be.
