[glaurung]

That is one sweet package. I even like the box, even though I presume that there is a fugly GoW logo or Kratos's face on one side or the top.

The costume looks sweet and challenges???

 

[kallisto76]

NEEEEEEED

 

[v0yce]

Is it safe to open a replica of Pandora's Box?

Will that result in replica carnage?

 

[MomoPufflet]

What do people do with ridiculously huge, extravagant Special Edition packaging like this after the game has lost its luster? Do they just stuff it in the basement and never look at it again? Sell it for 20bucks? I'm not trying to be a twat, I'm genuinely curious. Does the average buyer of this stuff have the shelf space to display packages like this every time they are released?

Or maybe it is more about paying more to maximize the thrill of opening the game? I don't know.

 

[jett]

Put that blu-ray to fucking use, goddamnit. Fuck you Sony, I'll be watching the extra material on youtube. :|

 

[FHIZ]

Sweet jesus christ.

I want that but lord, I won't be able to afford it.

 

[steadfast]

I wonder what Europe will get.

Your game delivered in a freshly-skewered goat!

 

[StreetDisciple]

This is really lame. Just give me a cool metal case and stick a bonus blu-ray in it. Maybe a Kratos figurine, wtf am I going to do with pandoras box besides stick it some place where it won't be seen.

 

[Psychotext]

Your game delivered in a freshly-skewered goat!

Good memory. :lol

 

[DieH@rd]

ZEUUUUUUUS!

 

[LiK]

we can buy this, right? hope it won't be like that Fortune Hunter BS.

 

[Callibretto]

don't care much for the pandora box, it looks good, but I have no use for it. I want that ultimate edition mainly for the artbook. God of War series have awesome art.

Your Xbox will RROD.

 

[Violater]

Just making sure I read that right
Will I get a demo codeif I preorder the regular version from Amazon?

 

[Totobeni]

the CE one scream epic , the regular one is just weird , also Krato's nose bridge is on the CE one.

 

[Scythesurge]

I want a steelbook case, I'm a whore for those.

 

[Phloxy]

Bout to go an grab the gamestop demo code, they called and said they have it in already, so start calling!

 

[KingGondo]

Special Editions are usually a waste of money, but that is badass. $100 or under and it's mine.

 

[Firewire]

I'm buying two!

 

[andycapps]

Wow.. This is pretty awesome, I might bite on this if the price is less than $100. Not counting on that though.

 

[equap]

cool but pretty useless and waste of money.

regular edition for me.

 

[Totobeni]

Just making sure I read that right
Will I get a demo codeif I preorder the regular version from Amazon?

pretty sure the GOW3 demo is for a pre-order bonus for God of War: Collection ( GOW1+2 remake $34 ) not GOW3.

 

[test_account]

Wow, this God of War 3 Ulitmate Edition looks great i must say! I am definitly buying this.

 

[Foil]

wtf am I going to do with pandoras box besides stick it some place where it won't be seen.

CAT BED!

 

[HooCares]

I actually would bite if it was just all the cool content - I'm a huge fan of good game soundtracks. But fuck that stupid box. Without the box this would be a nice 70$ collector's edition.

 

[Misterinenja]

Regular cover is ten times cooler.

 

[neojubei]

Oh my GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Violater]

pretty sure the GOW3 demo is for a pre-order bonus for God of War: Collection ( GOW1+2 remake $34 ) not GOW3.

[dark_chris]

Now THATS a limited edition. It comes with good things. Not crap.

 

[timkunedo]

Insta-Buy...I don't care how much.

 

[VibratingDonkey]

Any CE $10 more than the SE is stupid. I'm betting 89.99 for this one. 30 you could spend towards half of another game instead of a box. I'd rather do that.

To be honest I don't know what I'd want from a CE. If it's $10 more it comes with pointless fluff. If it's much more it comes with useless stuff. Out of the CE's I've bought the only ones I think have been worth it are the ones which pointless, useless fluff and stuff I've wasted little money on. Particularly Anno 1404. Used to be $70 or some such, I got it for $15, and it's pretty sweet. Gonna grow me some almond trees.

 

[neojubei]

Totally buying this, whatever the cost.

 

[chubigans]

They've updated the blog...apparently anyone who signed up at godofwar.com has a chance of getting a free voucher today. Phooey, why didn't I sign up...

I was expecting

 

[Zombie James]

Holy shit, two soundtracks. That's a pretty stacked set.

Sony Computer Entertainment America Announces God of War(R) III Ultimate Edition - an Exclusive Collector's Pack Celebrating the Final Installment of the Award-Winning Franchise

Housed in a Replica of Pandora's Box, the God of War(R) III Ultimate Edition will Include Premium Collectible and Digital Content for Fans New and Old
FOSTER CITY, Calif., Oct. 30 /PRNewswire/ -- Sony Computer Entertainment America (SCEA) announced today the worldwide release of the God of War® III Ultimate Edition available exclusively for the PlayStation®3 (PS3(TM)) system. Built by the fans and for the fans of the award-winning God of War® franchise, the God of War III Ultimate Edition will feature an assortment of exclusive collectible and digital content encased in a high-end sculpted replica of Pandora's Box. Scheduled to release along with God of War III in March 2010, consumers can pre-order their copy of the God of War III Ultimate Edition beginning today from select retailers and receive a free PlayStation®Network voucher code to download the God of War III E3 2009 demo.

"The God of War franchise has an incredibly loyal fanbase and we know they will be extremely excited with all the exclusive content and memorabilia we've packed into God of War III Ultimate Edition," said Scott A. Steinberg, Vice President, Marketing, SCEA. "With fans waiting patiently for the arrival of God of War III for the PS3, we wanted to make sure their anticipation was properly rewarded."

In addition to a copy of the highly anticipated God of War III and the limited-edition art book, fans will receive exclusive digital content headlined by the director's cut of God of War: Unearthing the Legend, a full-length movie documentary depicting the history of the God of War franchise. The Ultimate Edition will also include God of War- inspired downloadable music in the form of the God of War Trilogy soundtrack and the God of War Heavy Metal EP (Extended Play). Lastly, fans will have access to the God of War Combat Arena, containing an exclusive environment and up to seven unique challenges, as well as the exclusive Kratos skin, Dominus, all available for download via the PlayStation Network. The God of War III Ultimate Edition will retail for $99.99 (MSRP).

Developed by Sony Computer Entertainment Worldwide Studios, Santa Monica Studio, God of War III is set in the realm of Greek mythology and is a single-player game that allows players to take on the climatic role of the ex-Spartan warrior, Kratos, as he treads through the intimidating heights of Mt. Olympus and the dark depths of hell to seek revenge on those who betrayed him. Armed with double-chained blades, Kratos must take on mythology's darkest creatures while solving intricate puzzles throughout his merciless quest to destroy Olympus.

Utilizing a new game engine built from the ground up and state-of-the-art visual technologies, the development team behind God of War III have made significant strides in giving players the realistic feel of actually being on the battlegrounds. With texture resolutions that have quadrupled since God of War II, God of War III will feature fluid, life-like characters, as well as dynamic lighting effects, a robust weapon system and world-changing scenarios that will truly bring unmistakable realism to Kratos' fateful quest. Players will have a chance to join battles on a grand scale with many more enemies on-screen and be able to interact with levels like never before.

It's 99.99$. March 2010.

nice

CAT BED!

missing GTA4 lock box, NBA locker, Batman batarang, etc.

 

[SmokyDave]

I pray this comes to the UK, that would make an awesome weed box.

Strangely, I was playing GoW:CoO at lunch and contemplating a GoW LE. I'd envisaged it being the Blades of Chaos but this box is cooler.

 

[Dead]

Fukken bought, but Its stupid not to have teh bonus content on an actual blu-ray and CD

 

[Zombie James]

Damn, $100.... stupid financial times. Well, maybe things will be different by March.

 

[neorej]

That thing is... awesome.

That's hot (not for the box, that's for sure), but I'll never get my hands on it.

 

[Lord Error]

Chances of this coming to UK are slim - hell, I'd say there's not much chance of it being available in Canada even.

Master Cat is wielding the batarang.

Yeah, I thought about that and I was

Then I remembered the PS3 is region free and I was

 

[Binabik15]

the CE one scream epic , the regular one is just weird , also Krato's nose bridge is on the CE one.
