Prepare to embark on a journey of lost worlds and discover the origins of Kratos as Ready At Dawn in conjunction with our Santa Monica Studio are thrilled to announce that the eagerly anticipated PSP experience God of War: Ghost of Sparta will hit store shelves on Tuesday, November 2nd, just in time for the holidays!

After walking away from E3 with 10 “Best of ..” awards, and the incredible first gameplay look of King Midas at the recent “The World That is God of War” discussion panel at Comic-Con, we felt that it was only proper that we offer a pre-order package that is fitting to the gods.

Starting today, pre-order God of War: Ghost of Sparta at any of our participating retailers and receive the ultimate DLC pack at launch.

The God of War: Ghost of Sparta pre-order package includes ALL of the following:

  • Ghost of Sparta Original Soundtrack – Be part of the legacy, and relive the emotional soundscape of defiance and rage through the original soundtrack.
  • PSP Theme – Are you the ultimate God of War fan? Prove it with the God of War: Ghost of Sparta theme.
  • PS3 Dynamic Theme – Fully animated in constant motion, personalize your PS3 system with the official God of War Dynamic Theme.
  • PlayStation Network Avatar – Be one of the few to own the exclusive Kratos Avatar only available through this pre-order.
  • Legionnaire Skin – Discover the origins of the Spartan warrior as you experience God of War: Ghost of Sparta as Legionnaire Kratos.
  • EXCLUSIVE Game Directors Documentary – A full length featured video roundtable with all of the past and present Game Directors for the God of War franchise in front of a live studio audience, including: David Jaffe, Cory Barlog, Stig Asmussen, Ru Weerasuiya and Dana Jan.

  • God of War Ghost of Sparta PSP theme? :D

    http://www.fileden.com/files/2007/12/3/1623319//gowgospspthemepreview.png

    I’m not done it though.

  • Like alot of others here questioning about PSP Go owners, what if someone like me wants to download it via Playstation Store?

    Please respond.

  • Yes, that was the PSP bundle that I was waiting for!!!

    I had to sell my Chain of Olympus Red Bundle!!! T.T

    but now, i can get a new one back!!!!

  • @52

    They already responded on posts before this saying that if you buy the game on PSN the first week of release, you get the pre-order bonuses as well.

    YAY!

  • I would preorder this just for the dynamic theme haha. even though i never play my psp

  • Holy crud! That PSP-3000 Bundle is INSANE! Two great God of War games (played GoS at E3), a nice two-tone PSP-3000, AND Kick [DELETED]? That’s, well, KICK [DELETED]!!

  • Here I am trying to cut down on my spending, and you (Sony) has to go and release this pre order bonus. Thanks a lot Sony!

  • I wonder if the final product will be more polished at launch, I.E. none of this screen tearing that’s constant in media released so far. I’m waiting a day before buying it on PSN because I want to know for sure before wasting moneys…

    O_O

  • Wonderful. Kratos Dynamic Theme to go with my Kratos PS3.

    http://twitpic.com/1inp8o

    Thanks Ken!

  • This is so KICK [DELETED]!! Really great pre-order, I have pre-ordered this way before this announcement, this is just the icing on the cake!!

  • P.S. I LOVE the PSP cover, I hope that is the final cover!!

  • I just beat GoW 3 like 10 minutes ago! Now I have to get Chains of Olympus, the get myself a pre-order on GoS. Ahh what a week this will be.

  • Thanks for clarification for Go-wners Ken. We appreciate it.

  • Love the comment about Go owners saving lunch money….

    Unlike some of you K owners, we have money to throw down for a Go and buying games at those prices on PSN, instead of being cheapskates and scrounging for pre-owned games because you’re too broke to buy it new online. Not to mention carrying a large handheld in one pocket and games in the other. L.O.L.

    Try again.

    BTW, thanks for the clarification about getting the preorder stuff on PSN too :)

  • @64 Saving lunch money for a GO??? What are You talking about I was talking about God OF WAR Game. I woudn’t spend 5 cents for a GO. (System has no games) My PSP 3000 downloads Games just like your GO. no UMDs required Think before you speak!!!

  • what about Europe ?

  • Plz plz plz remaster this on the ps3 sooner or later!

  • Will the bundle come with the preorder goodies? Cause I was thinking of picking up a new PSP anyway.

  • PLEASE READ AND REPLY!!! Ok so i’m planning to buy and pre-order the Bundle. But what i really really really want is if you actually put Ghost of sparta’s actual game case in there. I hated how the game case in the Chains of Olympus’s bundle was just a box of cardboard. Please Reply

  • Does anyone know how much you have to pay to preoder it bc i really want all those bonuseshow much you have to pay at gamestop, amazon or other retailers?

  • Holy Wowzers!!! Is that even a word?
    Anyway, that is one helluva package right there.
    Day 1. Thanks SONY

  • Man i am definitely going to buy this the first day on the PSN store but this comes out the same day of gran turismo 5. There’s so many games to play in the fall and there’s nothing in the summer!

  • And for PSP GO users, will there be a downloadable limited edition package available on PSN?

  • Eh, nothing that I’m interested in…

    PASS…

    (of course I’ll be getting the game though).

  • @73

    If you buy it within the week it launches, you get all of the same pre-order goodies, considering all of the pre-order goodies are DLC (Downloadable Content.)

  • Ken Chan – Thank you so much for your quick response!!!

  • I would buy the bundle pack, but I already have a PSP (first-generation). I’ll probably try and get the game though (but the CoO download voucher and Kick-Ass UMD movie does sound enticing)

  • Any reason why Sony Style isn’t a participating store? :(

  • PS3?

  • @76 I’ve never seen Playstation do anything good with SonyStyle… Hmmm…

  • just wondering if i pre-order it from gamestop.can i still get the the ultimate DLC pack.

  • Ok, you guys are awesome! November is going to be one hell of a month. :)

  • Quick question Ken: If I pre-order the PSP pack do I get the extra DLC as if I had pre-ordered just the game?

  • This post should of clearly stated that the offer is also available to anyone who purchases the game digitally from PSN.

    …speaking, of PSN, why doesn’t Sony release digital sales figures for PSP? i’m prety sure they are impressive, and would do well against the internet myth of “nobody buys digital” (read IGN, kotaku ect)

  • @84 I agree, but they aren’t required to, so if they have no motivation to, they won’t.

  • um is there another way of getting psn avatar, dynamic theme, psp theme of god of war ghost of sparta without purcahsing the ultimate bundle?

  • i need a picture of this new PSP 3000! When can we expect one?!

  • This is crazy, both GT5 AND God of War: Ghost of Sparta, don’t know what to choose from.

  • I wonder how us PSP owners get the avatar, considering how lame the selection is on the PSP, and how we can’t buy good avatars… How could we possibly get a custom avatar without a PS3?

  • Just want to ask, is the PSP in the bundle a Radiant Red one (from Japan) or it’s a new US-exclusive color theme? please answer if ever.

  • @90

    It’s new.

    http://www.pspworld.com/sony-psp/2010/08/02/gow-ghost-of-sparta-psp.jpg

    And it’s ugly in my honest opinion. But it’s real.

  • So what of the people who bought the PSP Go? I bought it expecting it to be SUPPORTED, and in cases like this, where preorders are only available at retail, I feel pretty jipped.

    What can you do for me NOW, Kevin Butler?

    Seriously though, I can’t stand the way the PSP Go was shafted completley by Sony, as if it never existed.

    • Hey TuxBobble. Don’t worry, as noted before, those that purchase GOW Ghost of Sparta during the 1st week of launch will get the same pre-order bundle

  • @92 Us PSPgo owners also get the pre-order. If only you read all of the comments…

    If you buy the game on PSN within it’s launch week you get the DLC codes emailed to you.

  • Wow. All that for pre-order?? First LBP 2, then Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood, now this? Rock on Sony!! What’s the price for this, and is it bigger priced with pre-order, or is the DLC free?

  • well seems pretty cool, tough do you guys have anything like this planned for a limited ed. PSP GO? I mean you could include all that and keep the same 249 price and it would sell.

    Im on the edge here,because of school i travel a lot for months and having to carry all my umds is a no go, so I want a psp go but also like the idea of just buying a 16 gig or bigger memory stick for my current 3000. Is there anything like this ever coming to a go?

    If it is I wouldnt even think of getting a memory stick

  • When are we going to see the PSPGo in new colors and entertainment packs? I’m sure potential PSPgo buyers would love to see God of War or some other game-type PSPGo color/model.

  • This Is AWESOME!

    Thanks for the Great News.

  • What a cool ultimate package, but I have a question that im a bit confused on, are all the bonuses part of a “Special Edition” package, or is it all free and for no additional cost as long as you pre-order the game?

  • Oh and one more thing, im starting to love and hate November for this year, haha. Lets see, we have GOW, GT5 and Lbp2 coming out that month, I know im getting GOW and Lbp2 day 1, but here is the problem, I also want GOW psp bundle and on top of that I also want Lbp2 collectors edition…..AHHHH!!! too much money! But Thanksgiving and my Birthday are also that month and so is Black Friday, wow what a month.

  • If we get the psp bundle do we still get the dlc stuff?
