God of War III Ultimate Edition = Interesting

[megasdkirby]

Really? Based on what? All you get is what will likely be a small plastic box and a small art book. Everything else is a download code, including the making of documentary and music soundtracks. I can't see how those two items are worth $40.

To collector's and desperate folk, the pack will most likey fetch a high value in the later future.

Plastic or not, that's a cool looking box. I also am a fan of God of War so it's worth it to me. Of course, I could be completely let down by it like I was the Castlevania 'statue' you got for reserving one of the DS titles.

If the entire game is anywhere near the quality of the demo being letdown shouldn't be an issue. Easily the best look and running PS3 game to date, colors are vibrant and the effects are gorgeous.

I'l be picking up this set as well for the sheer love of the series.

I'm disappointed it doesn't include the re-mastered God of War 1 & 11 that is being sold for the PS3. That really would have made this the "Ultimate Edition" and probably swayed me to pre-order.

pre-ordered the LE. this game is the reason i bought a ps3. uncharted was a nice bonus. can't wait til march.

[RPG_Fanatic]

I pre-ordered the ultimate edition, I'm a sucker for special editions even if most of them aren't worth anything in the future.

Unlikely. It's being distributed very widely and I can't see how codes could have much collectible value down the road.

Not referring to the codes, but the physical contents of the game, like the box and all corresponding physical "extras".

I've seen SF4 and RE5 collector sets fetch an asinine prices in the past, so I would not be surprised if this happens to the game as well.

There are only physical two extras, the plastic box and the art book. RE5 went down in value immediately and can be had new/sealed for about the same price as the game alone. Only the PS3 version of SF4 CE experienced a bump because it outsold the 360 version and the PS3 became the official system for competitive play for the game. You can still find the 360 CE version for slightly more than the game sells for alone. Unless this thing is truly limited (which it won't be), I guarantee it won't maintain its value. As such, unless you have to have a plastic box and a small art book to make your GoW III experience complete, this isn't worth it.

I want one. Believe it or not I know that it is a small box that won't be an actual representation of pandora's box but I like it and I want it for me not to sell. Is that so wrong?

[incubus421]

The box is supposed to be of much higher quality then most extras in other Limited Editions. But having all the cool extras as download only is a deal breaker for me. The cool box will just sit and look cool for a few weeks on a shelf but without anything else to go with it after the codes are used it's definitely not worth an extra $40 outside the cost of the game itself.

By the way...the demo is pretty slick.

Oh, of course. It will be just like Metal Gear Solid 4.

[jcalder8]

I'll be passing on this one. The last LE I bought was Assassin's Creed 2 and I waited and I was able to get it for $30 rather than $90.

[Zap!]

Well, the pre-orders are all sold out. I got mine in, anyone else?

This will end up just like every other CE that comes out in this day and age.

I am now up to 4 CE/LE/SE games I got for super cheap by waiting:

GTA4 (I got this for $60)
Batman: Arkham Asylum (I got this for $60 counting shipping)
Halo 3 Legendary (I got this for $50 counting shipping)
DJ Hero Renegade (I got this for $31 counting shipping).

Only DJ Hero was bought used. Now I will not act like the $60 ones are as cheap as that copy of DJ Hero, but for what they originally retailed for and for getting them new, I would say it is a great deal since I got both while the games were halfway new. Well, Batman has been out for a little while, but my retro ass still considers it semi-new

I don't own a PS3, so I have no clue about the trends in ps3 ce games, but if it is anything like 360, don't waste your money. Really. Wait a couple months and get it much, much cheaper.

If you truly want to play the game, buy the game, wait for the ce to drop in price, than sell the game for the price the ce is going for and voila, you got to play the game on day one, and now you have the ce. Congrats.

Plus, I am not too sure about all the content being digital.

All of the CE's I have gotten thus far have all come with physical copy discs. That is a little dissappointing to only get the case and art book. Either that or just buy the contents of the CE itself a month after the game came out. , that is how I got Renegade edition for $31 since I just wanted the stand and I was able to actually fix the issue with the turntable myself.

It sure will.

Batman: Arkham Asylum (I got this for $60 counting shipping)
Halo 3 Legendary (I got this for $50 counting shipping)
DJ Hero Renegade (I got this for $31 counting shipping).

Here's a few of mine:

GTA 4 special edition(360) $44.98
Halo 3 limited edition(360) $24.99
Halo 3 legendary edition(360) $30
Halo Wars limited edition(360) $19.99
Straglehold collectors edition(360) $7.99
Quantum of Solace collectors edition(360) $9.99

I still want GOW3 but if I'm going to pick up the collectors edition it won't be until it's on clearance.

Good luck on this one. Already sold out on Amazon.

8 of 10 LE/SE/CE is not what it is shown on picture. Right now you have to be cautious not to assume all LE/SE/CE are worth the money.
