As much as we love writing about video games here at Joystiq, it pales in comparison to our real hobby: crushing hopes and dreams. If you were looking forward to playing through every single God of War game in the God of War Master Collection that was spotted on Amazon's German site, and you don't actually live in Germany, you're out of luck.
When asked about the listing, Sony informed Joystiq that the Master Collection is "currently only slated for the German market." It seems a bit unlikely that such a collection would be exclusive to a single region, so we wouldn't be surprised to see it announced for other regions as well. Of course, we'll take all the dream crushing we can get, even if it is only temporary.

Apparently Germany likes Kratos more than anybody else.

So help me god Sony if you pull a Nintendo/Capcom (Which I shall for ease of future reference be calling a Captendo) I am going to put you in a time out until you can tell me what you did wrong.

Dude, it's just a repackage of the 3 main games, plus the 2 ported PSP games, which were already confirmed to be available everywhere else separately. Unless you don't have a single God of War game, it isn't that big a loss, and even then, it's only a few bucks.
No need to overreact and all...

Does this include the PSP adaptions? If not, then were not missing on anything.

Eek, I dunno. God of War isn't the same without all the Nazi references that they're probably going to have to remove.

Funny... god of war seems like the kind of game that would be heavily censored, or not released at all in germany.

I hope Sony eventually change their mind and release it for the u.s and the rest of Europe. I never played a god of war game and i was looking forward to getting the master edition.

Since the PS3 is not region locked, there's always the import option right? RIGHT? I'm so sad 'currently'

Say what?! Dude that bites, I was looking for ward to it! It's my favorite thing next to airsoft. I usually go the field I found here http://www.airsplat.com/states.htm and play video games when I get home. Oh well.
