Give it about a year, XBOX Live Summer of Arcade games tend to move to the PS3 a year later.

It's also on PC, which is the version I've played.

I completed it once too, and here's the telling thing.
I pirated it becauseI was desperate to play it.
I completed it and got one ending, and didn't actually unlock everything.
I have immediately uninstalled it.

Why?

Because it's so fucking awesome, it deserves ALL of my money. I am usually generous with games and my opinions of them, but Bastion honestly is the greatest game I have played all year.
The depth of it's story, the beautiful, reactive narration by Logan Cunningham, the amazing blend of spaghetti-westernstyle country music, with hiphop beats, and almost Bollywood-style overtones as well to the music, the emotional connections made with the story and the characters, the surprising realism of all the characters, and the gameplay are all top notch. The only unduly frustrating things I found were the completely optional "Proving Ground" sections where you can earn additional rewards for proving your worth with all the different weapons, but they're all very much doable.

It's an absolute joy to play. It's a work of pure beauty and art, and I refuse to play it again until I have not just purchased the game, but the soundtrack as well, on Steam. I was that impressed by it.

If you do not play this, you are doing yourself a disservice.

If you're having trouble with steam (though I can't think why when you can just buy the soundtrack seperate off steam), then you could try http://supergiantgames.bandcamp.com/
There's even an option to get the digital download, AND a physical copy on CD sent out to you in the mail, sleeve art and all.
