I'm really loving the look of these boxes, and that God Of War collection is an insanely good deal.

http://blog.us.playstation.com/2012/...n-collections/

Notice the shiny new things we’ve put on the packaging! What does it mean? Why does Ratchet look so good in green? The answer to most of those questions is that we’re officially introducing our Collections line with these releases on August 28th. Over the years we’ve had all sorts of great deals come your way and moving forward, this is how we plan on presenting them to our consumers. From August 28th on out, you’ll be able to easily spot these classic installments at retailers, as well as on the PlayStation Store, and know that you’ll be getting the greatest PlayStation has to offer — at the best prices around! You should already know what’s in the Ratchet & Clank Collection, but here’s what you’ll find in the other two: God of War Saga God of War God of War II God of War III God of War: Origins Collection (which includes God of War: Chains of Olympus and God of War: Ghost of Sparta) Exclusive Bonus Content Voucher For 1 Trial Month of PlayStation Plus Remastered for HD, DUALSHOCK Control, Full PlayStation Network Trophy Support and 3D (3D supported only in God of War III and God of War: Origins Collection) inFAMOUS Collection inFAMOUS inFAMOUS 2 inFAMOUS: Festival of Blood Extra missions Additional character costumes, power ups and weapon styles Come August 28th, you’ll be able to pick these beauties up starting at $29.99! They not only come with some of the best and most memorable games in the PlayStation family, they’re also packed with a few additional goodies to make it worth your hard-earned cash. For longtime fans who may already have a few installments of these franchises, select titles from the Collections will also be available individually — without the extras — on the PlayStation Store.

Way better branding than SCEE's "Classics HD" line. I reckon the God of War and Infamous ones are going to be a little more than $29.99 though. I'm going with $49.99 for God of War, and then $39.99 for Infamous. Either way, crazy value for money if you've never played the games.

STOP PUTTING MORE STUPID SHIT ON THE COVERS OF YOUR GAMES SONY. FUCK.

The theme behind the covers is decent, but those stupid cogs are so unnecessary.

[spats]

The boxes really aren't too bad.

[shagg_187]

Sony releasing nice boxarts for collection? SAY IT ISN'T SO!

[SuperSonic1305]

Those would be nice covers if they removed that stupid INCLUDES BLABLABLA

[Desmond]

Need that GoW one in Europia.

[JasonMCG]

Dig the boxes. The yellow banner and type treatment look pretty nice.

[BioHazard]

The boxes really aren't too bad.

I agree, I like the standardized gray background with a character in the front

[TheBioLover]

Sweeeeeeeet. Will buy the GoW and inFamous ones.

[shagg_187]

Those would be nice covers if they removed that stupid INCLUDES BLABLABLA

I really wish those things were actually stickers so you can just peel it off. Sadly, it won't be.

That said, is everything in disc or voucher? I hope it's all disc-based.

[Yagharek]

These series arent my cup of tea, but goddamn that is great value if you like the series.

[V_Ben]

I bet we're going to see an Uncharted one eventually. And then perhaps a Resistance/Ratchet collection.

[AgentOtaku]

Picking up Ratchet and inFamous for sure

[Yoshichan]

I went in this thread, expecting the covers to look like shit.

Not bad, Sony...

[HamPster PamPster]

I really wish other companies would aggressively repacked their software as much as Sony does

Kingdom Hearts :(

[LiK]

holy shit, covers for collections that doesn't look like shit. nice job Sony.

[Man]

I hear that if you craft them together you end up getting a copy of All-Stars Battle Royale.

[GeoramA]

Definitely getting the GoW Saga. Haven't played the Origins yet and I wanted to play GoWIII again.

[Galvanise_]

Lovely boxart.

[Crewnh]

What, God of War is only going to be thirty bucks? All of these are only thirty? Wonder how much mine is going for on TIVs.

[darkside31337]

I bet we're going to see an Uncharted one eventually. And then perhaps a Resistance/Ratchet collection.

Uh theres already a Ratchet collection? I mean its in the OP and everything.

These are kind of nice except for the obnoxious includes bla bla bla

[MrChocolate]

I went in this thread, expecting the covers to look like shit. Not bad, Sony...

Same here.

Me like it.

[shinobi602]

More collections, sweet. Man, trying to pad the next year until PS4 must be rough.

Can't wait for next gen :D

[V_Ben]

Uh theres already a Ratchet collection? I mean its in the OP and everything. These are kind of nice except for the obnoxious includes bla bla bla

A PS3 Ratchet collection. That collection is comprised of the PS2 games. I did read my own OP.

[Wario64]

I wonder if the covers really are shiny in appearance

[corporate cheerleader]

What, God of War is only going to be thirty bucks? All of these are only thirty? Wonder how much mine is going for on TIVs.

Starting at 30 dollars. I assume the Ratchet collection is 30, the others are more expensive.

[Meatvillain]

God of War 3 in 3D? Consider me interested.

[jigglywiggly]

Wait, isn't the Ratchet one just new cover art for the HD collection?

With the other two being "everything out up until this point" packs, I don't understand why they're throwing Ratchet in the same class when it doesn't even come with half of the home console releases.

[shagg_187]

Surprised they didn't release a separate R&C collection which includes all the titles include the PS3 and PSN games. I would buy that for full price. I really would.

[Crewnh]

Starting at 30 dollars. I assume the Ratchet collection is 30, the others are more expensive.

oh well, I already have all these. would clear up space though having it in one case.

will probably only pick up Ratchet.

[darkside31337]

A PS3 Ratchet collection. That collection is comprised of the PS2 games. I did read my own OP.

Oh okay. Yeah thats why I was confused there.

And the inFamous bundle kinda sucks when they already gave out 1 + 2 for free (and yet my lazy ass has still played neither).

[Tylahedras]

score... I really wanted festival of blood.

[V_Ben]

With the God of War collection coming with 1 month of PS+... can we expect an Ascension multiplayer beta in September?

[Pranay_]

For longtime fans who may already have a few installments of these franchises, select titles from the Collections will also be available individually — without the extras — on the PlayStation Store.

[SniperHunter]

I hope people buy the infamous collection, I think the series is unappreciated. I didn't expect anything from infamous 1 since, I hated Sly Cooper 2, but it turned out to be my favourite game on PS3.

I will personally buy the Ratchet collection

[M.D]

Where the hell are the PS3 Ratchet games? They don't seem to be anywhere! The cheapest I could find them in my country is for 48$ and they are not on PSN either.... They should have included them in that collection.


I recently bought God of War 3 and was looking to buy God of War 1&2 HD before playing it, but couldn't find a boxed copy for cheap or at all and they each cost 15$ on PSN. I'll probably sell my copy and buy this collection.

[Duffyside]

Those would be nice covers if they removed that stupid INCLUDES BLABLABLA

People still buy games based on what the box shows them -- it needs to be there, and this is without question the best, cleanest way to do it.

I love these boxes, especially the Ratchet one, as it's the only one with a cog. I think that's a nice touch.

[HamPster PamPster]

So is there a reason the Vita can't get this collection treatment with PSP games?

[Bishop]

Those covers look great! Unfortunately I own all those games except festival of blood and gow origins games. So wont b picking these up :(

[Fox1304]

Remastered for HD, DUALSHOCK Control, Full PlayStation Network Trophy Support and 3D (3D supported only in God of War III and God of War: Origins Collection)

Shit, just sold my copy ! GOW3 would be incredible in 3D if that's correct.
But will it be a patch ?

[darkjedi187]

Still haven't played the GOW origins on PS3 might just wait for this.

[dragonflys545]

29.99 for 5 games god damn!!! I would jump on that shit if I haven't bought them all on Ps3 separately.

[Deadly Cyclone]

$30 for 5 God of War games? Might have to get it. I have 1/2/3 already but not the PSP ones.

[jett]

(3D supported only in God of War III and God of War: Origins Collection)

Huh so GOW3 is getting a 3D patch?

[zerokoolpsx]

Already own God of War collection and God of War 3, else I would jump on the Saga one. Got Infamous and Infamous 2 on my backlog.

[Brazil]

Wow. These boxarts are pretty cool, following the same pattern and all.

[WanderingWind]

Wait, there is a Ratchet and Clank collection already? THANKS GAF!

[alr1ght]

That's a crazy deal on God of War. I'll rebuy them if it's all on one disc. Since when did GOW3 have 3d support?

[BasilZero]

Glad I waited before buying the games individually, gonna get God of War Collection first for sure (even though I have the PS2 versions of 1 and 2, great chance for me to play them again in HD and to play III and the PSP versions).

[Yoshichan]

I wonder if the covers really are shiny in appearance

Of course! Why wouldn't they ;)
