Hi everyone,
You may have read that the God of War III U.S. release date has been confirmed today as the 16th March 2010. Whilst I can’t confirm the exact date for PAL, I wanted to let you know say that we are aiming to release God of War III across PAL regions during the same week. I will confirm this as soon as I can so watch this space, the wait will be over soon!
Some more news for you … on 11th February, I’m really excited to announce that we’ll be unveiling our brand new God of War III trailer here so look out for it then, you won’t be disappointed.
Meanwhile, for those of you who haven’t seen it, below is the official God of War III box art, hope you guys like it!
We are also currently finishing off the box art for our Ultimate Trilogy Edition and I will unveil it in my next post.
That’s it for now, stay tuned, more God of War III news to follow as we’re getting closer and closer to launch!

A couple of things.
1) This box art is terrible. Really, REALLY terrible (in my opinion, of course). But hey, at least the Americans suffer with us
2) You can redeem yourselves by giving us a same-day release with North America. There’s no logical reason I can fathom for releasing the game on Friday here. If you have one, please do tell.
Sorry if I sound rude, but I am getting tired of getting the short end of the stick.

can you please confirm whether the ultimate trilogy edition has been removed from sale in Australia. Apparently it was exclusive to Ebgames but they have removed it from Australia. The price difference in comparison to the UK Ultimate trilogy edition was $50 higher – do you know why? we have been told by Sony Australia that our pricing should always be in line with the UK.

I actually don’t mind the cover. It isn’t as good as the special edition cover that has been doing the rounds, but at least it has some simplicity to it.
What I would like to see is SCEE to start using the actual logo, instead of the boring plain text, on the spines of the boxes, as everyone else does.
The 19th March has been pretty much confirmed as the release date for some time now. All we need to know now is when the GOW Collection is coming separately, as the BBFC have just rated the set, so it’s can;t be far off.

1)I’m assuming they’re not sure about the exact release date because it’s still up in the air whether or not they’ll go for a simultaneous release with the American launch or just release it on the Friday.
2)Personally I would have preferred it if the boxart was something like this: http://i47.tinypic.com/m351z.jpg I find the white to be too bright on the official cover but I might like it more if I see the box IRL. And I’m slightly annoyed that the giant 18 label from the BBFC will fill that white area on the UK version but that’s not really your fault.
3)Also, you should really announce the separate release of the GoW Collection soon. While this doesn’t affect me there are still lots of people who want to get the collection but don’t want to pay £110 for the Ultimate Trilogy Edition and since the the US version dropped in price to $30 you really shouldn’t charge more than £24.99 for it.
Anyway, I’m really looking forward to this and depending whether or not The Last Guardian comes out in 2010 this will be my most anticipated game of the year so keep up the good work.

PLEASEEE change that cover!
or at least the side of it. i like my games to look good on the shelf. i dont want just a boring black side on it. thats very lazy and something a 3rd party would do.

Nice cover!!! btw, hope you change the collection cover, is really ugly =\

It’s coming to Australia, exclusively to Ebgames. It’s not on their website anymore because it’s been pre-sold out. By pre-sold out I mean they’re not taking preorders anymore, and I don’t know if they’ll eve get anymore stock to sell. They might, but I don’t know.I too wondered this and emailed ebgames and they said it’s pre sold it, and will be $249AUD. Hope that helps, and hope you pre-ordered it before it was sold out!

This game DOESN’T need a DEMO!
Could you confirm the SE/LE version for all EU territories.
I already have the GOW Collection, so would like the SE/LE
Can’t wait till march!

Got one question, is the EU getting the Ultimate edition?
If so where can we pre-order it? I really want to get it especially seening as one the bands I love is recording a track for the bonus Soundtrack CD…

You can pre-order the Ultimate Edition from GAME!
i dont really that cover at all, i prefer this version instead:

These 2 are my favourites:

Damn, I don’t really like this boxart. I’m hoping that the UTE wil have a way cooler boxart. I’ll be getting that one instead.

When are you going to release the GOW collection in EU? I don’t want all that other rubbish that comes with the proposed £110 ultimate edition, I just want GOW1 and GOW2 to play on the PS3 – just like the yanks have.
Sony, you guys seriously suck when it comes to region-bias.

I love Darksiders, so am I going to like this?

Considering God of War III will be so epic, the cover is a little too subtle for such an in-your-face title. I quite like these colourful fan made alternatives;

Nice box art but why can’t we have the demo that half the world has had access to for months?
71

£110? …Yeahhh… I can buy a Nintendo DSi for that so no dice.
I just want the Collection. I played my first GoW game a few weeks ago (Chains of Olympus on PSP) and it blew my mind, so I really want the opportunity to give 1 and 2 a try first
But, knowing how the European market is…….

Would someone tell me when I can buy God of War 1&2 on Blu-Ray? I haven’t played them before and would rather play them before number 3

We need this GOW3 themes in UK store as well. Please…

I can’t believe you guys actually went for that boxart. I mean, with so many artwork done by Santa Monica Studios and you went for that? An eye? Disappointing, though I won’t be looking at the boxart when GoW3 comes out. But now this – http://www.vgboxart.com/boxes/PS3/23373_god_of_war_iii-v3.png – is an awesome boxart. You guys could at least put Olympus on fire in his eye. Or Zeus. Just my 2 cents.

The box art of the Trilogy Edition will be just different than the Standard Edition and Collector’s Edition please? No, I need not say with certainty, but will tell us whether or not different.Siento si no lo entendeis bien es que he traducido con el traductor de google XD

I find the US box art (revealed a few days ago) slightly better, with sharper definition and overall better handling of contrast. Check it out: http://blog.us.playstation.com/2010/01/it's-official-god-of-war-iii-wi ll-be-attacking-stores-on-march-16th/

We need more God of War Content for PlayStation Home if there is any?
And especially more God of War Content on LittleBigPlanet XD

http://www.electronictheatre.co.uk/index.php/playstation3/playstation3 -news/3972-god-of-war-iii-release-date-revealed
This site “confirms” a release of 19th of March. Is that true?
Also, this boxart is crappy and doesn’t fit in with the others: Kratos with his back to us, facing something big and epic. This would’ve a so much more relevant and awesome boxart:

Posted on 31 January, 2010 at 10:02 pm by edjayjay
oh come on guys, lets be honest. This boxart is actually not bad. It jsut shows the badass subtelty of Kratos and how deliciously evil you can tell he is just by lookin in his eyes. Besides, the colours are cool.
82
Posted on 31 January, 2010 at 10:04 pm by edjayjay
ps: sorry just to add, arent u tired of having to look at Kratos’ back all the time? At least this time he is lookin ryt at u(no gay pun intended)

There a doubt we have many, is on the cover of the Ultimate Trilogy GOW3 … Will that be the same cover, or other cover in digipack special?

I got a question for Thach Quach:
I´ve seen the Morpheus skin but are we europeans going to be able to get it? I really wish you could answer this question because I am a really big hardcore God of war fan and think I can speak for all God of war hardcore fans when I say that we want it aswell because it looks really cool.
