Sony had given you plenty of opportunities to blow your money on God of War III-related items, from a version that came inside Pandora's Box (http://www.destructoid.com/god-of-war-iii-ultimate-edition-pre-order-details-153626.phtml) to Slurpees at 7-11 (http://www.destructoid.com/buy-the-kratos-fury-slurpee-at-7-11-get-free-gow-iii-dlc-161903.phtml). But here's something you can't buy in stores -- a collector's edition box set of the game won by an Italian God of War fan.

The game disc comes in a wooden box, stamped with the familiar God of War iconography, smeared in blood, and signed by members of the Sony Santa Monica team. Also in the box is a second disc with even more content, a mini-poster, medals, and some sort of art booklet in Italian.

Pretty neat stuff, and perhaps the only way you'll see it is if you watch this shaky cam video shot by the winner. You'll also have to listen to Disturbed, so plan your volume situation accordingly.

reeeeeeaaaaaly....
well that makes sense, I had a hard time believing they'd go though all the trouble of a custom case for a 1-off release.

I would suspect that it differs mainly in that this one is autographed.

did the press kit include the game? I know a lot of times they don't...

From what I've seen, the press kit came with the full game. The only difference I can see is this one has the signatures on the box cover. Either way, would be nice to have :)

All the gamestop store managers in the US received a Kratos mask, along with the usual other goodies.
