kristophergrin  |  January 28th, 2010 at 9:05 am

this is a blessing from the heavens.
i thank the gods.

DeviantBoi  |  January 28th, 2010 at 9:05 am

Any word on the weight of the Collector’s Edition? Pandora’s Box looks kinda heavy.

that-acmilan-guy  |  January 28th, 2010 at 9:05 am

Great boxart.

Sindred  |  January 28th, 2010 at 9:06 am

Absolutely brilliant! I can’t wait.

Morphine16  |  January 28th, 2010 at 9:06 am

Day 1 buy for the ultimate edition :)

inkme1  |  January 28th, 2010 at 9:07 am

im so freaking ready for this game! but im ok with the time frame, ill need a couple weeks to get through heavy rain.

Ratchet_Co  |  January 28th, 2010 at 9:07 am

haha That’s my birthday! Thanks Sony for the birthday gift XD.

colonel007  |  January 28th, 2010 at 9:08 am

I think is a good boxart, but i would have love it if your had gone with the same style as the past two.

We all know who Kratos is, but having just his left eye zoomed in is not that great IMO. I had hoped that the boxart would be as epic as the game.

But anyways, I love this franchise, so I will be buying it day one!

God of War 3 = GOTY 2010

Blackdragon264  |  January 28th, 2010 at 9:08 am

Glad I waited to buy the Collection. Can I get answer on the Challenge Arenas is it gonna be realeased afterward as DLC or is your only way to get it is by getting Ultimate Edition?

Noks415  |  January 28th, 2010 at 9:09 am

Question. Will you be able to watch the GoW
documentary without it spoiling anything related to GoWIII, or is it a better idea to watch the documentary after you beat the game?

BlooodyCow  |  January 28th, 2010 at 9:10 am

I am in tears right now. I WOULD LIKE TO THANK YOU SONY AND SA FOR THIS AMAZING GAME. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

GAT305  |  January 28th, 2010 at 9:10 am

have it paid off already but i want some new gow3 video those last pics are too much of a tease i need something i can watch!

Wolverick  |  January 28th, 2010 at 9:10 am

Any word on any game stop midnight openings?

VofEscaflowne  |  January 28th, 2010 at 9:11 am

So the documentary is a download from the store instead of being on a blu ray disc? Kind of disappointing… ah well, it’s still pre-ordered and March 16th cannot come fast enough!

WestSiide  |  January 28th, 2010 at 9:11 am

i like the box art

ricky302  |  January 28th, 2010 at 9:11 am

so does the God of War III Ultimate Edition have the same box art as the regular?

BlooodyCow  |  January 28th, 2010 at 9:12 am

@6 kristophergrin
Thank the gods?
You should be thanking Kratos because he is about to slaughter the gods.

akara1  |  January 28th, 2010 at 9:13 am

I agree with colonel007
The boxart is ok but for a trilogy of the God of War series it looks somehow different and doesn’t really fit.

I also think that the darker coverart on the picture of the Ultimate Edition looks a bit better.

Nevertheless I’m glad that it will contain a flip-cover. A good decision Sony^^

evildude683  |  January 28th, 2010 at 9:14 am

Already pre-ordered my Pandora’s Box…I just can’t freaking wait for this awesome game!!!

Kenshin71  |  January 28th, 2010 at 9:14 am

“God of War Collection is now ONLY $29.99.”

Wow. I feel like I just got screwed by Sony again (first time was my 60GB got YLOD). Last time I buy anything like that again when it first comes out.

KidCommando  |  January 28th, 2010 at 9:14 am

By the Gods!

GamerMoney  |  January 28th, 2010 at 9:15 am

in the end there is only chaos

RedGiant17  |  January 28th, 2010 at 9:18 am

Looks good. Got my platinums in GOW 1 & 2 in anticipation of this. Ultimate edition is pre-ordered and now I have a calendar reminder set for release day.

Goldcorn  |  January 28th, 2010 at 9:18 am

Wow a week after Final Fantasy. Why so close. I think I’ll get GOW.

jazzyrider  |  January 28th, 2010 at 9:18 am

Is the $29.99 price for the collection effective today? I would like to pick this up and get ready for the 3rd soon!

xBlackBloodx  |  January 28th, 2010 at 9:20 am

Fu*k yeah.

Thank you!

Now just some bundle info

and i’ll be set.

again.. THANK YOU.

EliteWarrior006  |  January 28th, 2010 at 9:21 am

Aaaaaareeeeesssss!!! lol :) Now i just have to play the third part to see what destiny is preparing for Kratos…

hermes200  |  January 28th, 2010 at 9:23 am

Wow, that collectors edition box looks pretty rad.
Do you know the size of that box? I might have some issues with customs :(

almighty-slayer  |  January 28th, 2010 at 9:24 am

I love you.

terribledeli  |  January 28th, 2010 at 9:26 am

Gamestop.com has the collection down to $30 ($25 used), so it’s safe to say the price drop is in effect.

As for people that will complain, don’t be an early adopter next time.

Anyone with any slight marketing background knew Sony would drop the price to boost sales prior to God of War 3.

k4shmoney623  |  January 28th, 2010 at 9:28 am

I think I’ll be upgrading my pre-order to the Ultimate Edition because I just realized I might not want to open it because I’m too busy staring at it in amazement.

*Runs to go finish God of War II for the 2nd time and get that platinum trophy!*

WingTrl  |  January 28th, 2010 at 9:29 am

This is freckin’ sweeeeet. Can’t wait but one question

What is Pandora’s Box made of?

Destiny89  |  January 28th, 2010 at 9:29 am

Thats just epic!
im so getting it day 1 and the ultimate edition

silverdoe_joker  |  January 28th, 2010 at 9:30 am

Notice that the Ultimate Collection box art is the same as the normal one. I remember it supposed to be darker!

mushroomhead_bg  |  January 28th, 2010 at 9:30 am

What about european release date?We are left in the dark wondering when it will be released here.
Come on please,announce the Euro release date.
Pleaaaase!

Lord_Rinja  |  January 28th, 2010 at 9:33 am

@Eric

I’m just as psyched as anyone about GOW III and have my collection with the demo downloaded onto my PS3. However, do you plan to release a Home Space, Personal Space and/or and GOW III related items for PSHome? I think a lot of fans here would love to have some Kratos themed costumes and spaces.

dragonmagician  |  January 28th, 2010 at 9:33 am

Oh, the unofficial boxart (as stated in this blog) became the official boxart. I personally don’t like it, but as long as the game is good, i guess.

Velmonte  |  January 28th, 2010 at 9:35 am

That box art sucks!
Personally I care about amazing box arts.

KazeEternal  |  January 28th, 2010 at 9:38 am

OMG I’m not even going to be done with FFXIII yet >< evil.

MadmanEU  |  January 28th, 2010 at 9:39 am

2 pieces of (semi-useful) information in a 10 day span…and this is what you consider ending an information drought? Good luck with actually trying market this game. You can’t even market to the hardcore PSBlog reader, let alone the mass market.

THE_J  |  January 28th, 2010 at 9:40 am

that box art is really lame,compared to the other 2 (3 if you count the PSP game) it’s also rather anticlimactic

Andrefpvs  |  January 28th, 2010 at 9:41 am

I can’t say I like the box art, but I’m glad there’s a price reduction for God of War Collection.

Berae  |  January 28th, 2010 at 9:42 am

Oh yea!! for my birthday! loll well 1 day after but still a nice present

UNCyrus  |  January 28th, 2010 at 9:42 am

@45… You’re EU, get off the US blog :P

don’t listen to him Santa Monica, just keep teasing us w/ information and we’ll be happy :)

necroticart  |  January 28th, 2010 at 9:43 am

Nice work on the ultimate ED.already preordered and pd for

I was also wandering if any home items are planned?
