God of War III Ultimate Edition to rip apart your wallet
You'd think that with a box as obnoxiously large as this, the God of War III "Ultimate Edition" would be overflowing with goodies. However, don't expect an abundance of physical goods in this 8.3" wide x 10.5" long x 5.9" tall "High-End Sculpted Replica of Pandora's Box." With the exception of the God of War III art book, all the bonuses packaged into this collector's edition are downloads:
Of course, a big-budget game isn't complete without a requisite pre-order bonus. God of War III's pre-order bonus is none too surprising: a downloadable demo of the game you just put a deposit on! With the same demo releasing via the God of War Collection and the District 9 Blu-ray, chances are good you'll end up with more than one access code to the GoW demo before it ships next year -- heck you might even see a code pop up in your e-mail this weekend!
- God of War Combat Arena containing an exclusive environment and seven challenges
- Premium Kratos Skin – Dominus
- God of War: Unearthing the Legend Franchise Documentary – a full-length movie documentary depicting the history of the God of War franchise
- God of War Trilogy Soundtrack – God of War, II, and III scores from the game (mp3 digital download).
- God of War: Blood and Metal EP – a heavy metal homage featuring original music inspired by God of War (mp3 download).
Of course, a big-budget game isn't complete without a requisite pre-order bonus. God of War III's pre-order bonus is none too surprising: a downloadable demo of the game you just put a deposit on! With the same demo releasing via the God of War Collection and the District 9 Blu-ray, chances are good you'll end up with more than one access code to the GoW demo before it ships next year -- heck you might even see a code pop up in your e-mail this weekend!

Oh, I don't know about that. Although I am a sucker for Collector's Editions.
AsherR [Planeteer | Power of The Hoff] @ Oct 30th 2009 10:55AM
Well lucky thing you only have to spend $99 on it then. :)
Chris D.(PSN: Aggie_CEO | XBL:The Aggie CEO | Steam: Aggie_CEO @ Oct 30th 2009 10:58AM

the Sawyer family @ Oct 30th 2009 10:58AM
I'm opening Pandora's box!!! I want this
antilight @ Oct 30th 2009 11:04AM
Joystiq should've gone for the high-brow humor and added another bullet point to the list of included items, one that said "Hope."
Shagittarius @ Oct 30th 2009 11:09AM
Damn, I gotta have this...I don't know where to put it though...too bad they didnt do the God of War 3 Ottoman bonus edition, I could really use one of those.
Chris D.(PSN: Aggie_CEO | XBL:The Aggie CEO | Steam: Aggie_CEO @ Oct 30th 2009 11:11AM
Shag an Ottoman tho??? LMAO!!!
That would be weborder only AND the shipping would be CRAZY
Space @ Oct 30th 2009 11:35AM
you'd spend $150 for that??!!
all hope is lost..
Chris D.(PSN: Aggie_CEO | XBL:The Aggie CEO | Steam: Aggie_CEO @ Oct 30th 2009 11:40AM
what can I say....I like God of War....
Jason @ Oct 30th 2009 1:11PM
A box versus actual working official Modern Warfare night vision goggles?
I'll pick the goggles thank you.
uncle jesse @ Oct 30th 2009 1:47PM
It would be a sweet case for your night vision goggles!
Anyone?
Edge @ Oct 30th 2009 4:09PM
Just make sure you keep your eyes closed when you open it...
Misfit Toy @ Oct 30th 2009 4:30PM
How 'bout a Batarang? This has more content pound for pound than that $100 package.
VaultBoy @ Oct 30th 2009 5:33PM
The music load makes it a great deal, but I would have liked them to include the GoW 1 and 2 Blu-Ray edition either with it or as part of a different release. Ah well if I get a PS3, those items are going on the list anyway. An that PANDORA's BOX is sick! I just can't find any furniture in my apartment it goes with...*tear*.
Filthy Assistant @ Oct 31st 2009 12:14AM
"Just make sure you keep your eyes closed when you open it..."
Uh. Pandora's Box isn't the fuckin Ark of the Covenant or a Ghostbuster trap.
Ryan @ Oct 30th 2009 10:50AM
That is a BAD ASS box.
I could put my GI Joes in there.
Matt @ Oct 30th 2009 11:40AM
Wow man, just wow on the avatar. lol I've done that before **drops head in shame** haha
jahd5000 @ Oct 30th 2009 2:25PM
i dunno dude, i bet it is actually a more cheaper box than it looks. It always is.
SolidSnakeX @ Oct 31st 2009 7:25PM
What are your Joe's opened or sealed?..I have a ton of G.I.Joe's ..I could use this but the price is not worth it its just plastic and I bet this could break not worth the stupid downloads either I'm sick of crap like that I mean whatever happened to cool stuff packed in with the game?..Anyone Remember Earth Bound SNES, Then of course came Working Designs cool packed in stuff Lunar the Silver Star Story heck I even have the Guides to them and there worth more then the stuff you are talking about!..the problem today with Exclusives they are hard to buy..$150 your nuts paying that much.. Well Modern warfare 2 is worth the price that is a huge package!..0_0
INTERNET SUPERHERO @ Oct 30th 2009 10:50AM
HOLY SHIT!!!
*wallet explodes*
PuBeLeSs @ Oct 30th 2009 10:51AM
wait so price?
INTERNET SUPERHERO @ Oct 30th 2009 10:55AM
$100
Try reading the bullets... They hold all the keys...
Drew -- PS360: uphillbothways @ Oct 30th 2009 11:19AM
I thought rhythm was the key. That opens up the door.
Social @ Oct 30th 2009 10:54AM
This doesn't even include GOW1 and GOW 2? damn
Abi @ Oct 30th 2009 10:57AM
No, but it's a darn good idea.
skyzbig @ Oct 30th 2009 11:01AM
I don't think people will care about GOW1&2 when they've just bought GOW3.
HSOL @ Oct 30th 2009 11:14AM
no, maybe not. but if you're paying $100 for a collector's edition it certainly would have been a nice edition.
HSOL @ Oct 30th 2009 1:59PM
*additon
gameforall @ Oct 30th 2009 10:57AM
I will sell my kids for this, thank god I don't have any. SCEE you better be selling this in Europe.
PSN: Str84rumBk @ Oct 30th 2009 5:54PM
sorry but i dont think they can hear you. lolsz
BananaBoat @ Oct 30th 2009 10:59AM
I'm wary of special editions after the Batarang fiasco. I'll wait and see if the box is made of something other than crappy plastic.
Having said that, I am going to keep my booze in this box.
Storm Eagle [Resident Capcom Megafan] @ Oct 30th 2009 11:05AM
I'm gonna one-up you and use it to pack my lunch in. I'm gonna drive the office nuts!
Although, it would be nice if all that content wasn't download only....
Chris D.(PSN: Aggie_CEO | XBL:The Aggie CEO | Steam: Aggie_CEO @ Oct 30th 2009 11:09AM
Don't Remind me....

Doreo (Psn-doreo503) @ Oct 30th 2009 11:09AM
No, you should definitely put condoms in the box! How badass will you look when your significant other sees you reach under your bed and pull out a pandora's box full of condoms. Then you look other at him or her and say... "I'm going to rip you apart" or something like that. Then once you ejaculate, you have to really get into the god of war spirit by using direct quotes from the game. After you ejaculate you have to run off crying while screaming "By the gods, what have I become?" Then when he or she tries to console you, you say "I am what the gods have made me!" Now you end this moment with this statement, "Release me from this torment of my life." That is when you whip out the box again, and repeat the cycle.
Shagittarius @ Oct 30th 2009 11:11AM
It seems you've put a lot of thought into this Doreo...good job!
Ryan @ Oct 30th 2009 11:17AM
@Doreo
You lost me after the condom box. That was more than enough. Then, like GoW, you went way over the top.
ripslymemc @ Oct 30th 2009 2:16PM
LMFAOOOOOOOOOO
That's probably the best thing I've read here...LOL! Good job!
TreND @ Oct 30th 2009 5:32PM
OMG an up vote wasn't enough...
needed to leave a comment.. damn funny..
Mu93n @ Oct 31st 2009 1:05PM
@ Doreo. totally missed this comment yesterday and i just read it and i must say it completely made my day. thank you. xDDDD
againstallauthority132 @ Nov 3rd 2009 5:45PM
it'll make a good blunt/weed stash box, that's for sure.
ImbecilePete @ Oct 30th 2009 11:03AM
.......I want one.
Social @ Oct 30th 2009 11:05AM
hmmm but I would care as I would like to replay them first :P
After buying a PS3 that is, still haven't got one.
jahd5000 @ Oct 30th 2009 2:30PM
go read the lyrics for Gwen Stephany's "Watcha Waiting" song over and over again.
Social @ Oct 30th 2009 11:06AM
ooh besides, you KNOW they are going to offer up a bundle of all three games later on so just get it over with and release it now ;)
Chris D.(PSN: Aggie_CEO | XBL:The Aggie CEO | Steam: Aggie_CEO @ Oct 30th 2009 11:10AM
uhhh yea....most likely in like 5+ years
Social @ Oct 30th 2009 11:10AM
2 years max.
Chris D.(PSN: Aggie_CEO | XBL:The Aggie CEO | Steam: Aggie_CEO @ Oct 30th 2009 11:12AM
I dunno.... it took what....3-4 years for the MGS Essentials collection??
bimmy @ Oct 30th 2009 11:07AM

LuiginDaisy @ Oct 30th 2009 11:10AM
