HOLY CRAP! For once, a special edition that contains stuff I actually care about, every single piece!!! And for only $100??? SOLD! The only way this could've been better if they included the GoW 1&2 collection, but that's just me being greedy^_^ Once again, Gamestop wins in the exclusive armor division for me as that's the original concept art for Kratos that was revieled in an older Game Informer. The other exlusive armor winner for me was the Mass Effect 2 armor. Wow, a heavy metal soundtrack and the trilogy soundtrack...*drools* #godofwariiiultimateedition
:| I really want the Documentary and the Arena levels, but that's about it. Please be attainable in some form other than this Ultimate Edition. Throw in a sexy Art Book then maybe... :D
Oh man. I usually don't jump on these really expensive limited edition games, but I might just have to make an exception for this one. It's too cool. This is what happens when the game makers actually ASK people what they want in their limited editions, as everybody who even plans on making a limited edition should. #godofwariiiultimateedition
For a true God of War fan and a collector, this special edition is pretty incredible. I'm not that big into the series, so I'll only be picking up the standard edition; but I can still see why this would be attractive to a lot of people. The box looks pretty slick and some of the DLC looks appealing. #godofwariiiultimateedition
@Polterg3ist is Sick, Sick, Sick: I know. I read the article and didn't read the comments until 10 minutes later. Was wondering "What the heck is EP short for?" and had forgotten that EP was mentioned in the article. When I scrolled back up I glanced that EP was mention there and read that sentence and knew it had to do with vinyls and such. #godofwariiiultimateedition
If people want to pay for extra paraphernalia or aesthetics (like character skins), that's their choice and more power to them. However, it really irks me to see exclusive content included in the collector's edition. If you buy a game, you should have access to all the content. I'm not saying that all DLC has to be free, but you should at least have the choice to purchase it without also buying $40 worth of non-game merchandise. #godofwariiiultimateedition
WOW! Absolutely Incredible. And that's all for $100? I wished it would be available over here in blighty - i'm not even a big GOW fan, but i'd buy this in a heartbeat.
That is, unless they pull an activision and attempt to sell it for stupid money over here... *sighs* #godofwariiiultimateedition
@Ursus-Veritas: Let's see, £1 is a little over $1.6, so using that conversion rate we can expect a $100 product to be on sale over here for about..... £1 BILLION.
@Ursus-Veritas: Well we are supposedly getting our own 'ultimate edition'. I mean if that Thach Quach guy's comments are to be believed at the UK PS Blog then we'll probably get the same one. I mean they called it the Ultimate edition and not the special edition which I guess makes a difference from when they normally just randomly say special edition. I guess they're planning for an Ultimate edition release worldwide. Boxes are easier than Knives anyways :). #godofwariiiultimateedition
@Shawn Dobbins: I cant find it anywhere actually. They should have actually waited till it was available before telling people to pre-order. With useless things like this the longer I have to think about it the less likely I will be to splurge and buy it. #godofwariiiultimateedition
Wonder how much it will be for us Aussies, if it hits locally that is, otherwise importing it will be mighty cheap with our dollar value where it is atm. #godofwariiiultimateedition
Are you guys able to easily import banned titles that are refused classification? I've been curious about this for a while. I used to live in Melbourne like 25 years ago when I was a kid. #godofwariiiultimateedition
@DrunkAus: Hey mate, I played around with gamestop, it only costs $35US to send it to us down here, so an overall $135US ~= $150AU.
Which is not bad I reckon, considering AC2 black edition went for the same price with less interesting stuff... I might have to wait for a few more months to see if EB/Jb will bring it down here locally for a cheaper price tho... #godofwariiiultimateedition
@DAS: If something like that hit Australia it would be more than $150 AU I would reckon so yea you could save quite alot importing this. #godofwariiiultimateedition
I'd rather just have some a little less obtrusive, like the Demon's Souls Deluxe Edition, now that is how you do a collectors edition. #godofwariiiultimateedition

I don't have a PS3, but I'd like that EP. #godofwariiiultimateedition

On a side note 100 US dollars is nothing. My online store where I do most of my shopping says 999 Swedish kroner. Which places it at 137 US monies.
Edit: Just as I posted this I figured out what the EP was... I fail somewhat.

Customs generally don't check games, they have bigger problems to deal with lol. #godofwariiiultimateedition
