GoWIII Launch Date Confirmed, Ultimate Edition Revealed

You know, we've only been saying God of War III releases on March 16 because that's the date GameStop has in it computer. That's hardly official, as everyone knows, so it's good to have the final announcement.

As revealed at the PlayStation Blog , SCEA's new masterpiece will indeed land on store shelves on the 16th of March, and along with this confirmation, we get a look at the final box art and the revealing of the special Ultimate Edition (pictured here). The update doesn't go into specifics for this bad-ass edition but we will get "premium collectibles and digital content," and that's good enough for now. To add more fuel to the hype train – as if it needs any – February 11 is another day to mark on your calendars; that's when Sony will debut a brand new trailer exclusively on Spike's GameTrailers TV. Last but certainly not least, if you haven't picked up the God of War Collection just yet (featuring the first two GoW titles in stunning high definition), now's the time…because the price is down to $29.99! The mania has only just begun and you can bet that as we close in on that release date, you won't be able to avoid the name "God of War." …what, you're gonna complain?

We can't wait to get our hands on this one; it's the third big PS3 exclusive of 2010 behind MAG and Heavy Rain . Well, chronologically speaking. Stay tuned for the MAG review; it'll be up in about 20 minutes or so.

Doesn't the ultimate edition have a replica of pandora's box? Is pandora's box inside that regular box?

That's what I was thinking. Pandora's box has to be in there.

That would be the Collector's Edition of GOW3.

Nevermind my first reply. I can't find one that says Collector's Edition.

Amazon shows the same picture above and still has pandora's box listed in the contents.

I'm so happy with this because that day is my birthday, and i have been a fan of the series since it started. I really would like it if GOW3 gets GOTY. So i actually read a lot here but i post very few times, the people in here are so funny and everything especially Ben.

That's central time, I live in Illinois for the time being. And that does suck about allergic to Kleenex. The 1983 is because that's when I was born.

I live in Illinois as well. I understood the 83 most likely referred to the year you were born. My itty bitty song was simply directed to you due to my allegiance with OSU football.

Oh and I'm not allergic to Kleenex, I was simply kidding around. As far as I know I'm not allergic to anything. I mean come on, kleenex?!

In other news, I finally beat Assassin's Creed 2. That was a kickass game. Now to complete Bioshock, Dead Space, and Ghostbusters. >_<

i love AC2 but i was so disappointed in the fact tht you only left the animus like 3 times even tho you actually got to fight and free-run while out

…and the ending annoyed me cause now i really wanna know what happens and i gotta wait til AC3 =(

…and the truth video was kinda trippy

Dead Space was actually alot of fun. I never thought shooting limbs off could be so fun….well, yeah I did.

Just picked it up about 2 months ago for $15 at Best Buy. Great buy!

This game is going to be off the hook. However, I'm more inclined to buy 2 regular games than an Ultimate Edition of one.

I'll be broke and playing FFXIII by then but I look forward to the continuing hype here by my favorite members. And some of my least favorite.

Wouldn't mind checking out that Spike trailer too.
