1) Shouldn't the PS3 & Xbox 360 of this be grouped with the DX/Director's Cut version? The end credits of the 360 version are for the DX version.
2) Should this then be a separate entry? The description states that this is just the Director's Cut while the date (Sep 21, 2010) is the same as the PS3 version grouped with the original.

[/Q --end Freeman wrote--]It looks like Sonic Adventure is sold ... as Sonic Adventure:

The DX upgrade is available separately:

So I'm not sure... this review says the ports are based on the Dreamcast version.

Thanks for looking into this. However, the review you link to acutally says:
"Prior to its release, fans figured that Sonic Adventure’s digital download would be a direct port of the original Dreamcast game and that the add-on content would transform it into the enhanced Game Cube or PC versions. Turns out these people were quite wrong, as the base game is actually a port of the DX version. If that makes no sense to you, it essentially means the “Dreamcast” game is the enhanced edition, minus a few select tweaks. In other words, the core gameplay present in the $9.99 USD game is exactly the same as this add-on pack (bugs, fixes, changes, et al)."
So the PS3/360 versions are based on the DX version though lack all the included GG games. The 'DX Upgrade' seems to add a) Mission mode (60 missions) and b) Metal Sonic.
So it seems like these 2 versions should probably be a separate release (being based on the DX version and not the DC version) while the 'DX Upgrade' was a piece of DLC with a slightly confusing name.
