'God of War Trilogy' boxset announced for Europe

Best Trilogy in gaming.... 'nuff said.

Collection cost me 30 loonies with taxes in the GTA. If I had known this was going to be - ahhhh....who am I kidding - I wouldn't have been able to wait.

Would this be on one disk? or just the Collection disk along with 3?

I pre-ordered the ultimate trilogy collection box in gamestop last december, then they canceled it for ireland, which lead me to import gow collections and buy gow3 stand alone so its it don't interest me anymore.

But anyone that hasn't got collections and 3 should pick this up, all 3 game rock on ps3

OH HELL NO

"psn has noone on it."

This made me laugh cos there's a guy I go to Uni with who has PSN. His last name? Noone. lol

Boxing God of War 3 as a trilogy with the previous two games seems like a great idea since after buying and beating GoW3 I believe that as a standalone title it is severely lacking in terms of its replay value. Don't get me wrong, I agree that the story within God of War is amazing, after having finished the 3rd game this past weekend I find the replay value of the third game to be sorely lacking when compared to its previous two counterparts. I may be alone in this opinion, but unlike most of you (or at least I would assume) I didn't preorder the game. I've finished GoW3 on Normal and have finished the Challenge of Olympus. I have also found all of the Godly Posessions. However, after doing all this there doesn't really seem to be as much incentive to dive back into the game. And here are my reasons for saying so:

(1) After finishing the game once you unlock Chaos mode (the very hard difficulty). However, unlike the previous two games in the series there isn't anything that will unlock once you beat the game on Chaos mode. After 100%-ing the last two games I feel no real drive to finish the game on its hardest mode since there just isn't any real reason for it (they didn't even put in a trophy for it for god sakes!).

(2) As I mentioned above I didn't preorder the game from anywhere. As a result I only have access to once costume as a result of completing the game. In the past two they gave you 3 costumes once you beat the game the first time, with additional ones being unlockable after beating the challenges or completing the game again on a higher difficulty. Plus the stats on the costume (in my humble opinion) are crap. I won't spoil it for anyone that hasn't played/beaten the game yet suffice it to say its rather lackluster.

(3) Finally, I think that disabling trophy support when you use said costume or any of the Godly Posessions you find in the game on later playthroughs to be pretty stupid honestly. In GoW2 in the PS3 collection they encourage Urn use (going so far as to have a trophy for using 2 Urns at the same time in a playthrough).

As I said before, I maybe alone in this set of opinions and I know that some of you will vote me down out of simple spite. But let me be very clear, I like the story of GoW3 and think that it is a fitting end to the story of Kratos. Moreover, the epic scale of the game is unlike anything that I have played before. In short, the game is a lot of fun. But its not the gameplay that I'm taking issue with its the replay value of the game. Especially considering how anticipated GoW3 was in retrospect it seems that it would have been more prudent to rent it, beat it, get all of the trophies, and return it rather than buy it outright. I would love to hear some other opinions on the matter from some of you other guys on the subject.

This would be perfect for me! I haven't played a single entry in the series and would love to get into it. Here's for hoping it comes "North American" side.

Perfect. Now I don't need to worry about importing the collection from America.

You fanboys are a trip.

From Wikipedia:
PS3 worldwide sales: Units sold 33.5 million (as of December 31, 2009)
Xbox 360 Worldwide sales: Worldwide: 39 million (as of January 6, 2010)

5.5 million isn't anything to simply disregard, but the PS3 isn't as far behind as you want to make it seem.

to welfare epics GOW is not da best but one of the best and im sorr to tell u i like both 360 n ps3 but the halo series is played out already bungie and microsoft have lost their sweet touch already to the point that bungie if u do recall wants to go multiplatform. i agree halo kicks ass but it is not what it used to be n remember im not a fanboy i own both systems n each have their strongpoints at least we can all agree their better than the wii, so with dat bein said they better bring dat boxset to da states or ima release some of dat gods rage myself :) n all u fanboys stop whining all systems are great..... well xcept da wii lol

I would have liked this before I imported GoW Collection and bought GoW III..

Glad I held off on the remakes of 1 and 2. Now I'll be able to pick up all three at sub-$50 by year end.

Can't say I didn't see this happening, and gladly they are doing it very soon. There would have been no reason to wait for GoW3 to become a greatest hit or something before boxing it up with the previous 2 games.

They would be silly not to announce for USA this Fall (Summer would be even better).

hey now...guess I'll import this baby.

Whoa, slow down there with the stat manipulation accusations. First of all, let me state that I have a PS3, 360 and Wii, and enjoy all of them equally.

The Wikipedia articles state their sources:
PS3 source: http://www.scei.co.jp/corporate/data/bizdataps3_sale_e.html
360 sources: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xbox_360#Sales (Check this area, there are way too many sources to list.)

Second, we also have to remember that the 360 had a year long headstart (another mistake by Sony this generation).

Third, if the stats are wrong and the 360 sales are depressed, you have to assume the PS3 stats are too. That is, unless you simply want to believe the negative hype that the PS3 is THAT far behind. Which would make you a fanboy, by the way.

The media is simply jumping on the bandwagon that wants to paint the PS3 as some massive failure, when it's not. The point I'm trying to make is while the PS3 is indeed behind, it's not the critical failure everyone wants it to be.

I've still never played any of the GoW games. Was planning on getting the big box set, but it ended up just being too expensive, especially for something I'm not sure I'd like.

This is much more reasonable.

Just finished GOW III, and what great game, The production value of this game is insane. UC2 dosent compare.
Not saying its the best game out there(Nothing beats Demons Souls) But its just F@#king great.

For the Fanboys,

Halo isnt in the same league as this beast, so dont compare a dollar coin to a hundred dollar bill.

GOW III vs Halo 3, Kratos would tear the guts clean out of it.
