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:

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).

So how much will this big box o' digital goodies cost you? $100!

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!

FUCK spending $150 on some gat damn goggles....

but I WILL Spend $150 on THIS!!

Oh, I don't know about that. Although I am a sucker for Collector's Editions.

Well lucky thing you only have to spend $99 on it then. :)

yea I know...just saying I would Pay $150 for it...that case is bad ass....

I'm opening Pandora's box!!! I want this

Joystiq should've gone for the high-brow humor and added another bullet point to the list of included items, one that said "Hope."

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.

Shag an Ottoman tho??? LMAO!!!

That would be weborder only AND the shipping would be CRAZY

you'd spend $150 for that??!!

all hope is lost..

what can I say....I like God of War....

A box versus actual working official Modern Warfare night vision goggles?

I'll pick the goggles thank you.

It would be a sweet case for your night vision goggles!

Anyone?

Just make sure you keep your eyes closed when you open it...

How 'bout a Batarang? This has more content pound for pound than that $100 package.

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*.

"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.

That is a BAD ASS box.

I could put my GI Joes in there.

i dunno dude, i bet it is actually a more cheaper box than it looks. It always is.

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

HOLY SHIT!!!

*wallet explodes*

wait so price?

$100

Try reading the bullets... They hold all the keys...

I thought rhythm was the key. That opens up the door.

This doesn't even include GOW1 and GOW 2? damn

No, but it's a darn good idea.

I don't think people will care about GOW1&2 when they've just bought GOW3.

no, maybe not. but if you're paying $100 for a collector's edition it certainly would have been a nice edition.

*additon

I will sell my kids for this, thank god I don't have any. SCEE you better be selling this in Europe.

sorry but i dont think they can hear you. lolsz

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.

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....

Don't Remind me....

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.

It seems you've put a lot of thought into this Doreo...good job!

@Doreo

You lost me after the condom box. That was more than enough. Then, like GoW, you went way over the top.

LMFAOOOOOOOOOO

That's probably the best thing I've read here...LOL! Good job!

OMG an up vote wasn't enough...
needed to leave a comment.. damn funny..

@ Doreo. totally missed this comment yesterday and i just read it and i must say it completely made my day. thank you. xDDDD

it'll make a good blunt/weed stash box, that's for sure.

.......I want one.

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.

go read the lyrics for Gwen Stephany's "Watcha Waiting" song over and over again.

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 ;)

uhhh yea....most likely in like 5+ years

2 years max.

I dunno.... it took what....3-4 years for the MGS Essentials collection??

if only this came with GoW 1&2, they woulda had me

I don't even own a PS3 and I WANT THAT FUCKING BOX!

Where is the bust of Kratos? I thought they put out a survey of what people wanted, I guess no one wanted it. Now who will watch my back while I sleep, in case of a monster/zombie outbreak.
