  • 100 bucks? i’ll pass, no way i’m paying that for a plastic box and a bunch of downloads. looks like it’s the vanilla edition for me.

  • @140, it really does cost a lot of money to make games, psn and psp games need to spend 15,000 just to get rated by the ESRB, hence the increase in price for those titles

  • i just peed my pants from the excitement!

  • @151 this is a way to show your appreciation for what the developers have done, i do believe in giving credit where credit is due, this is remarkable, the game is groundbreaking and David Jaffe said it best, the game does look like a painting, but in motion.

  • so I can get a demo TODAY?

    • The GOW III Demo is available for download as soon as you obtain the voucher from any of the retailers supporting the pre-order program

  • I agree, but I wish they would’ve made them a Cd soundtrack collection instead of mp3 dl. I’m wondering though if a bundle is planned? A crimson red ps3 w/ custome artwork would be awesome! I ain’t gonna lie, I’d buy another ps3 if they do!

  • looks awesome, gotta get this!

  • On GS it says the voucher for the demo is avail immediately for in-store reservations and an email will be sent out to online customers in 1-2 business days (while supplies last).

  • @Coramoor

    I know it costs a lot of money to make games. But my contention is two fold. If you charge less there will be more people to buy day one, instead more people wait for the bargin bin and/or greatest hits which doesn’t bring in as much money. The second is that they are in charge of production costs. With the world economy the way it is, a bit of belt tightening could possibly lower costs.

    Thank you for the ESRB costs. I wasn’t aware there was a fee associated with the ESRB. $15K still does not excuse $10 for a mini game. $4.99 is a fair price. Sell 6000 units and you just got your fees back. Consider this is digital only and you have no middle man to pay.

    @YungShep

    Groundbreaking? Please it is just Greek Mythology Dynasty Warriors meets dragons Lair. Zero innovation.

  • damn $99, wow not bad, but then again, i’ll take the regular edition.
    since i can save the other$40 for another game.

    but the price isn’t that expressive.

    i think its an awesome package just that i only buy games to play so i’ll let other take the ultimate edition.

  • Is there a preorder date at Amazon? did a search and i don’t see it available for preorder on Amazon.

  • Is Amazon supporting this pre-order thing where we can get the demo today? Because I’ve only seen gamestop links in the comments.

  • @154 yeah but i’m still not paying 100 bucks for a fancy plastic box and some dlc. they still got my money just not as much. how is gow3 groundbreaking again?

  • I was wondering is the box actually usable for slaying Gods or you know just holding stuff in it?

  • Please announce a GOW3 PS3 Slim bundle. I’ll pre-order it right now. I wanna buy a PS3 with Kratos’ mugshot all over it. That is all I want this christmas.

  • Only posting the soundtrack as downloadable is really cheap. In fact, *all* that stuff just being downloadable is pretty miserable. It’s not clear on how to download the soundtrack; will I only be able to get it on my PS3? Or on iTunes? Or will it be what would actually be useful, a zipfile full of mp3s?

    I’m a raging God of War fan, but this is mostly just disappointing. I’m supposed to spend an extra forty five bucks for a little box, that’s almost certainly just a cheaply manufactured little thing? Meh. Definitely not ordering the 100 dollar bundle until I see how the stuff works out.

  • upgrading preorder to this version in 3….2….1….

  • This is EPIC pre-odering as soon as this pops up on amazon!

  • LOL @iTunes

    Look at what they did for the Sound tracks already in store (pixel Junk). It downloads as a game. You install the “game”, and it puts the MP3 files (in a folder) in your Audio Folders.

  • I’ve had the game pre-ordered on Amazon.ca for about a week now. Do I qualify for the demo, or do I have to cancel the order and do it again somewhere else?

  • Order confirmed, original GOW3 ordered canceled and replaced.

  • Got the DEMO code from gamestop just now I will be downloading it tonight.

  • Question! Maybe you can explain more about the “High-End Sculpted Replica of Pandora’s Box”? Is it metal or plastic? I’m pumped about this but the Arkham Asylum Batarang was a disappointment.

  • good lord… effing awesome! I have the God of War Collection pre-ordered… this is getting preordered to! It comes out just a bit before my birthday. Getting this and GT5 (and a G27 wheel) around the same time.

    Damn glad I have a PS3!!!

  • So is Amazon getting the demo too?

  • I’m getting this.

    man this game is going to incredible.

  • This is going to be my first Limited Edition video game I ever bought. This looks sick, thank you Sony!!!

  • Ken Chan quick question are you guys come out with an even better special edition? b/c i do not want to preorder this if theres going to be a better which i will buy. Thank You appreciate it!

  • Does Amazon has the Ultimate edition and the pre-order program? As of now it doesn’t show up anything in the search results except the regular version. Could anyone confirm me if the pre-order program in up on Amazon with all the same benefits of what Gamestop is getting.

  • This truly is an “ultimate” collector’s edition. Would have been even more epic if it contained the upcoming GOW Collections disc in it but nonetheless, this is amazing.

    NOW HERE IS THE QUESTION OF THE CENTURY-

    Will this be available to us Europeans as well or are we gonna get the shaft as usual?

    For once, please answer me Sony.

  • Looks great! Where’s the Amazon pre-order page? Which costumes are Amazon and GameCrazy getting?

  • Just got back from GameStop with my demo voucher. They didn’t even know anything about it. Said the FedEx guy showed up with the goodies and then they knew about it. Downloading it now! Thanks Sony!

  • 250 gig playstation 3 slim silhouette of kratos include god of war 3 and god of war collection bundled in and sell it for 449$ please make it happen

  • Called an ebgames in Canada… They said they haven’t heard of this and it might only be exclusive to the U.S.A. Can anyone confirm this?

  • This is great news, and it will be my first Ultimate edition =)
    But I got two questions (maybe they’ve already been answered, but I’m too lazy to check every comment :I ).

    1) Will this be released in the EU? If so, when?

    2) How to get those pre-order bonusses? We don’t have Gamestop, GameCrazy, etc over here (Holland).

    Thanks in advance.

  • The page for the regular edition is available on Amazon.com:

    http://www.amazon.com/God-War-III-Playstation-3/dp/B000ZK9QCS/ref=pd_bxgy_vg_text_b

    However, it’s not clear when you will be getting the code for the demo. Here are the details:

    Pre-order Bonus
    Pre-order God of War III and get access to the E3 2009 demo, and an in-game Apollo Skin. This exclusive in-game skin unlocks AFTER you’ve completely played through the full retail version of God of War III at least once. Access codes will be e-mailed within 10 business days after you place your order. Offer valid when shipped and sold by Amazon.com, while supplies last. Limit one per customer.

    —————————

    So, does that mean we won’t get the code for the demo until 10 business days after pre-ordering? That sucks, if that’s the case!

  • how big will pandoras box be????

    • Dimensions for the Ultimate Edition is 8.3″ wide x 10.5″ long x 5.9″ tall, and yes, this is only set coming out =)

  • Any idea when we’ll see this on Amazon.com? I absolutely despise EBGames and their shady business practices… plus I’ll be basically getting it for free through them with all my coupons.

  • fewf! I am glad you said its not the final box art. I was about to complain that it looks kinda like poo poo.

  • OK I GOT THE DEMO NOW, OFFICIALLY GOT IT FROM EB GAMES OR GAMESTOP WHATEVER YOU WANNA CALL IT, IT IS SHARABLE UP TO 5 PS3 CAN HAVE IT. THANK YOU SO MUCH SONY FOR THIS DEMO THANK YOU SONY SANTA MONICA FOR MAKING THIS EPIC….

  • OMFG!!!! Im buying 2!! one to play and the other for my collection!!! HELL YEAHHHH!!!

  • So there will not be any Kratos’ collectible toy or related?

  • Yay! Got my demo code! Downloading now, little slow. But I guess everyone and their mother is downloading this right now. Thanks, can’t wait to play!!

  • Ken Chan, could you please answer the questions of my last post (185)?
