Hi everyone
I’m Thach Quach, European Software Product Manager for God of War III.
I hope you guys are all excited about what you’ve seen or read about this highly-anticipated PlayStation 3 exclusive. If not, you should, it’s going to be an epic, pulse-pounding and brutal adventure
.
For those of you who haven’t had the chance to play the God of War III demo which was on the show floor at E3, Gamescom, Tokyo Game Show and other SCEE events throughout 2009… well… some GREAT news for you: we will be emailing out some demo voucher codes to a selected number of PAL PSN users who registered to receive the SCEE promotional newsletter. If you haven’t opted-in to receive it, it’s unfortunately too late to be in with a chance to be picked for this promotion, but it’s worth you registering today to be considered for future SCEE offers (simply go to the PlayStation Network icon on the XMB, select Account Management => Account Information => => Notification Preferences, and tick the relevant boxes).
Make sure you check your email inbox over the weekend and hopefully you will be one of the lucky ones to receive a voucher code allowing you to download this demo instantly from PlayStation Store! Remember, it’s a random selection and only a limited amount of vouchers are being sent out so good luck
And if you still haven’t heard about Kratos or seen anything about God of War III, here is a trailer we released earlier this year:
I also wanted to update you on the ‘God of War III Ultimate Edition’ which was announced for the North American market by SCEA. No need to panic guys, we are not forgetting you! We will also announce the Special/Collector’s Edition and extensive pre-order plans in place for the PAL region. So watch this space, you won’t be disappointed for sure
That’s it for now… For those of you who haven’t seen them, below is a selection of God of War III screenshots we released not so long ago.
Any comments or questions let me know and remember to check your inbox this weekend. Enjoy the demo if you are one of the lucky ones to receive it!
Thach

@HazelAM it’s region free and is only £27.99 delivered.
SCEE don’t give 2 hoots about Europe so don’t hold your breath for a release date or new on the Awesome GOW3 collectors edition.

Are codes still send out?

what benefit did i get? I’m signed up and oh look no code just shows a brilliant display of stupidity and annoyance which for sony’s sake i’m going to call Stupidayance.
I’m obviously not getting a code, thanks for nothing sony next time i won’t bother getting my hopes up you obviously couldn’t care less.

i know slapnutzuk, interesting name by the way
but there are many who don’t want to or have a trouble importing.
and i still want confirmation one way or another about europe getting the collection.
and with this title they can’t use the old, it’s down to the publisher/developer excuse, so why a couple of weeks from the us release we don’t know when or even if we’re getting this sce title is something i just cannot understand.

I’ve had the boxes ticked for the last year but I don’t think I’ve ever got any emails from Sony about anything.

Posted on 1 November, 2009 at 12:32 pm by SlapnutzUK
@HazelAM as for as UK games stockists know GOW Collection will NOT see an SCEE release.
In addition there is no fuss or hassle involved, your order it and they send it you. No need to worry about the importing as they do it for you then send the goods.
359

It’s a shame there are no replies yet but maybe from tomorrow we’ll hear something about the plans for Europe.
Despite stockists having no info at the moment, I’d be extremely surprised if Europe doesn’t get an equivalent collection. I know we always come way down the priority list and have done since the year dot, but I’m certain we’ll get all three. Saying that, £27.99 delivered sounds pretty sweet. may have to check that out…

@SlapnutzUK
mmmmm thats not exactly true.
ive bought lots of games off ebay US, payed for them and everything and never received them.
all payed through paypal, i rang them up, they did a investigation, and said its been shipped so tough titties.
same with ebay, i file a dispute they do a investigation than close it and i get squat.
500 bucks+ down the drain, wont be making that mistake again.
i would import the GOW collection, but cant afford to through another 60 bucks down the drain.
it seems sony has forgotten people outside the US have bought ps3s, and have spent thousands of dollars on them.
ive bought 3 ps3s, 4 DS3 controllers, 2 sixaxis controllers and roughly 40 games.
but what do i get back from them?
squat!
they better release that GOW3 ultimate edition here otherwise im going to scream so loud everyone on planet earth is going to go deaf.
363
Posted on 1 November, 2009 at 1:29 pm by MadmanButter
Cheers slapnutz
I’v never used them before. They reliable? Hows their delivery?
I’ve only ever imported 2 games from the US before (both on ebay, and both Disgaea game
)
Thanks!

I think they should have done what they did with the MAG beta, and held a competition, so that GoW fans would find it and be in with a chance of getting a code. And I also have never got any E-mails from SONY.
366
Posted on 1 November, 2009 at 2:51 pm by Miss2912
This time Sony really desappoints.
What’s the benefit in give codes randomly? None consider that many people got fake account with fake mail adress!
I mean, i am not interested in God of war saga but i know lots of person that are, why not give the chance to everybody to play it?
Not clever choiche to allow people randomly, i hope costumer will remember it when will be time to put hands on pocket and buy the game.
Fine.

Posted on 1 November, 2009 at 3:19 pm by bushdoctor777
Got one on Friday.Thanks SCEE i’m gonna be picking this game up day one.
368
Posted on 1 November, 2009 at 3:20 pm by GiantCyclops
As i said in an earlier comment, I will certainly remember this when it comes to purchasing the final game, and by this i mean i will ONLY buy god of warIII pre-owned now!
I was also thinking of importing the god of war collection but after not being considered a “valued PSN member” im not going to bother. It may appear that im cutting off my nose to spite the face, but i couldnt careless to be honest, as the way SCEE treats its most loyal supporters absoulutly stinks…
369
Posted on 1 November, 2009 at 3:22 pm by bushdoctor777
@ muzzar69 and others thinking importing why not use http://www.gamestop.com/ they are more than reliable and will already have the game available for preorder.

Thanks for the code! yous are legends!

Haven’t got a Voucher Code

Posted on 1 November, 2009 at 4:31 pm by SlapnutzUK
gamestop won’t ship PS3 games to the UK or EU, remember SONY made importing a crime of sorts, remember Lik Sang?
Movietyme and Videogamesplus are you best bets. I aboid eBay as you have little to no come back when it goes wrong.
373
Posted on 1 November, 2009 at 4:44 pm by bushdoctor777
@ SlapnutzUK
Are you sure?I’ve already checked their site and nowhere does it say they don’t ship to Europe.They even have a list for the shipping costs and delivery times of every country in Europe.I am considering pre-ordering the GOW3 ultimate edition from them.

THANKS THACH,
I recieved my code on saturday and all other games have now been put aside, i am a hugh GOW fan so this is christmas come early for me.
As for the various questions on importing the collection instead of waiting, i have had mine on order from videogamesplus.ca from annoucement, i have had dealings with this importer before with no issues.
The collection is released with a demo code that should work if you use it with a american psn account.
I may upset some with the following paragraph so except my oppologies – THE DEMO IS AMAZING, PURE GAMING HEAVEN, THE GRAPHICS ARE MIND BLOWING, THE CLASSIC GOW FIGHTING AND QTE ARE JUST BREATH TAKING IN HD.
375
Posted on 1 November, 2009 at 6:32 pm by SlapnutzUK
@bushdoctor777
They list shipping to other countries for all other items except for PS3′s and PS3 games.
Basically it’s all to do with the original SONY war cry pre PS3 launch, they didn’t want people importing and picked on them first. It’s basically frowned upon so some big names won’t do it incase there are repurcusions of some kind.

@giantcyclops
i’m with you on that. Why others don’t understand why it’s insulting to not be picked is dumb, it’s insulting as it’s like having Jack Tretton say to you “your so unimportant to me, i don’t want to send even a demo code to you but as long as your spending money that’s fine with me!”

Got code, played demo, was very impressed. to those who havent got a code, i sympathise as i know the feeling, this is the first code ive ever got from sony… no MAG, U2 etc.

and this blog needs an option for correcting mistakes..

me wants too
388
Posted on 2 November, 2009 at 7:41 am by HazelAM
it was inevitable these codes would end up on ebay.
stupid, stupid way to release a demo.
i tell scee now, i will only buy god of war 3 and the collection, if we ever get it, preowned.
you won’t make a penny off me.
does scee ever think about what it’s doing before it does it?
you annoy god knows how many loyal playstation fans just because it’s easier to pick random names from a mailing list than to deal with shops to give them codes for preorder customers?
once again the scee laziness annoys the fanbase.
and a little reminder, i’m going to keep asking till i get an official answer.
is europe getting the god of war collection?

Posted on 2 November, 2009 at 12:05 pm by kamikazechicken5
Yo, I got a code, but the damn thing is all black/white! I got the US version for some reason. Is there any way for me to play the demo in color without getting an HDTV? If anyone knows a way please respond. Thanks

Posted on 2 November, 2009 at 1:07 pm by Burkatron81
I think people need to chill, it is only a promotion afterall, there is no way sony will not release this on PSN in time.
Its all about generating hype but a lot of you gus are missing the point and end up whining like babies.
Be patient, im sure you will all get the chance to play it this side of xmas.
395
Posted on 2 November, 2009 at 1:44 pm by bushdoctor777
Totally agree with you Burkatron81.People need to stop [DELETED] about this thing.It was RANDOM didn’t you read it wasn’t like they ditched people on purpose.And i am also sure this demo will eventually be released on PSN for everyone at some point.
I didn’t even know about this until Friday which i checked my mails.I wasnt expecting anything so that was why i was happy when i got it but even if i haven’t i wouldn’t be bitching over here threatening not to buy the game.When a game is worth buying i buy it and this one is one of the best games of the ps3 and i wouldn’t have let my disappointment and anger of not getting a code not buy it.Thats just pathetic and miserable.
396
Posted on 2 November, 2009 at 1:55 pm by MadmanButter
@ Burkatron
So anyone whos even a little dissapointed about not getting a code falls into that category?
Thats a bit on an unessarsary genralisation of everyone. Myself, I’m just a bit annoyed. Nothing more. But unlike a lot of others, I wont rant on/go on/hold it against them now the offer has ended. So how would someone like myself fit that description?
I wouldn’t…
(of course if you’re just reffering to these over the top people in the first place, thn pardon me lol)
397
Posted on 2 November, 2009 at 1:56 pm by Burkatron81
My precious SONY? your the one who also has a PS3 pal, why are you having a pop at me? All im saying is people need to get things in perspective but you obviously cannot do that hence your reply.
As for the collection issue, SCEE have said all along they will release info in due time for us europeans, why cant you just accept that?
As for myself being angry, please show me once where i have express this? my opinion was that people on this blog get way too wound up in the little things and it comes across as childish, just my opinion. Im not attacking anyone, yourself included, im just stating what i percieve when i visit this site. Surely you see this too and like me are getting tired of reading such tripe?
Going back to the collection issue, just order it from movietyme like i did, problem solved, you’ll get the game in 2 weeks and be happy, i cant see the problem here.
398
Posted on 2 November, 2009 at 1:58 pm by Burkatron81
@madmanbutter
Mate its only directed at the crazies, i can see your a respectable chap. I get frustrated as much as the next person but i dont go over the top like some do.
Im not trying to start arguements in any way, im a nice guy honest:)
399
Posted on 2 November, 2009 at 2:04 pm by MadmanButter
Therefore I beg your pardon then fella
/remembers to not be so jumpy.
All weekend I’ve been checking for an email. Most of my mates got one. And they don’t really like GOW >_<

Posted on 2 November, 2009 at 2:15 pm by Burkatron81
To everyone, i intended no offence with my posts.
Please accept my apologies if i did. Maybe i also lost sight of what i was trying to say and for that i say my bad:(
@madmanbutter
can you not game share with one of your pals?
