So I picked up my Pre-Order of God of War III Ultimate Edition last night, there were a few stacked on the counter behind the register and one of the clerks tried to get me to give-up my pre-order, lamenting that he neglected to order one for himself. Apparently they only got in 7 of this edition, and that only covered the pre-orders that had been placed. Already this sounds good to me because rarity makes these CEs appreciate, unlike bin-fillers that flooded the market such as the Halo 3 Legendary Edition.

Once again we see special edition content being sold separately, this week it’s the God of War III soundtrack. One of the biggest features of the Ultimate edition in North America as well as the Trilogy Edition in Europe is the fact that the game includes a heavy metal soundtrack by well known bands inspired by and specifically for God of War III.
Not content with having these be exclusive to the buyers paying a premium for the CE releases the Soundtrack is available for purchase right now for about $6. Of course right now you can only buy the 6-track EP which is significantly shorter than the full length album that comes with the CE, but content is content. At least European collectors get their money’s worth with the inclusion of the first two God of War games. Then again the “God of War Collection” hasn’t been released in Europe and I’ve been enjoying my copy here in the US for some time now.
Here’s hoping Pandoras Box is as pretty in person as it looks in the pictures.

Recently Edios announced that Europe will be getting a Game of the Year edition of Batman: Arkham Asylum, while there’s nothing special about the packaging it does include some DLC content the real interesting part is that it will include a pair of 3D glasses and you will be able to play the game in 3D on both your HD or SD TV.
The GOTY edition will be available for Xbox 360 and PS3 in Europe on March 26th at a price of £39.99

The Final Fantasy XIII Super Elite console bundle hasn’t even been released yet and already they’ve announced the next one. The Upcoming Splinter Cell Conviction will be getting it’s own “Special Edition” console bundle that like other Super Elites will include a 250GB hard drive and a 2nd wireless controller, as well as a copy of the game.
Unfortunately there will be no special case art, simply black plastic like the normal edition, also disappointing is that the console will include the regular edition of the game rather than the Collector’s Edition that is also slated for release.
This bundle will be released along side the regular and collectors edition of the game on April 13th, at a price of $399, which is a pretty good deal when you consider it will include a $60 game, a $60 controller and an extra 130GB worth of hard drive space over the regular $299 Elite console.
