Sadly no pictures yet. :-)... View this article on the HomePage. (http://collectorsedition.org/10709/god-of-war-ascension-collectors-edition-announced)

[Dr_Jengo]

Kratos statue will put this collector's edition in my priority list :2cool:

Surprised it's only $79.99, usually anything with a figure/statue will be $99.99

[Madigan]

Thanks for the info :D

The steelbook closed the deal, but they never learn. Include an artbook, soundtrack, making of... stop including toys!!!!!!!

[Vicarocha]

... Statues are no toys! I would say: Stop including steelbooks (I can't stand them) and include more statues, props etc.; an artbook (the quality of the The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim or The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings Collector's Editions artbooks) and an OST on CD(!) should be olbigatory, too.

[Madigan]

Maybe because the statues they include suck 95% of the time?

and that shitty statue replaces important info such as soundtrack cd, artbook or making of video. But looks like you love that stuff, keep collecting "statues with generic face number 4632"

Way to slag someone else off just because they like something you dont. I agree with Vicarocha, I'd rather have a statue. I've bought a lot of the CE's with statues the past few years, and most of them are good quality. All I really look for in a CE is something different to what I already have, and seeing as I dont have anything Kratos, Im there day 1

[vhal_x]

I like statues too, and I also love steelbooks - tbh, the more physical content in a CE, the better :) Steelbook, statue, CD soundtrack, good quality artbook, nice outer packaging etc - all awesome in my book :D xx

[iNCREDiPiNOY]

i was searching for god of war: ascension steelbook on google and this site was the first searches came up. lol

for 20-50 dollars don't expect much.

[vhal_x]

Of course the ones by the likes of Sideshow etc will be better quality, that's to be expected for a figure/statue that's $300+ compared to an extra £50~ in a CE - but either way, I still like statues in CEs. Not that that means I can't like better quality statues too xx

But that's the problem for £50 you can't expect much.

Like an incomplete soundtrack cd vs a full OST

The classic little artbook (GTA IV, deus ex: HR) vs the one inside diablo's CE, MGS HD, bioshock 2 etc etc etc.

They charge you more, for something mediocre.

[Saturn]

Not everyone can pay $300 for a single statue. I know I wouldn't.

[Madigan]

But at least put some effort into it.

In a few years you're going to wake up and say, Who the hell is this guy?

[Mike1888]

I love statues. Some of my favourite CE-included ones are the AC2 white/black edition one, the vanquish one and the new ghost recon figure. Also, they don't necessarily have to be expensive either. For instance I really like that R2 chimera figure.

I like steelbooks too. So this will be a must-buy for me. Steelbook + Figure, perfect combo.

[NaughtyDogJames]

Fair enough the Max Payne one was shit but a lot of them are great, just because you don't like something doesn't mean anybody else shouldn't. Live with it, people have opinions.

[Viridius]

Wonder when we will get some pics of this

[AlliDfense]

I preordered my LE of GOW yesterday.

price is bit weird...$82.88 never seen such a price before for CE

[d12dotcom]

Really, you get what you pay for. I also collect 1:18 scale cars, and I know that if I buy an AutoArt model, its gonna be a lot better quality than a Bburago model. That doesnt mean people who buy Bburago models are morons. I also find it easier to justify buying a CE with a statue, than buying a game and a statue separately

[NaughtyDogJames]

Do Amazon US ship to the UK? If so how much?

[vhal_x]

$12 or so xx

[NaughtyDogJames]

Thanks, really tempted to pre order it, I'll wait for pictures first.

[RyT]

Thanks for the heads up guys, preordered... Gotta make sure get one before out of stock like the previous case.. Now waiting for EU announcement which will include something more

[iNCREDiPiNOY]

Got one, thanks! gotta love amazon prime, no tax and free shipping.

[Dreamcazman]

Preordered too, can't beat $16 postage. :D

I google and found a picture of the Collectors edition

That's the omega collection.

Steelbook
Statue
Gow I & II
Gow Origins
Gow III

[Lord Zadik]

If you want really nice and not that expensive videogame figures you should check the Square Enix Play Arts line they get better with every release and they are releasing a Kratos figure that looks awesome www.toyark.com/news/attach/1/9/9/9/GoW3-Kratos-1_1316172163.jpg

[sawada]

Must buy,i have ordered,i love the steelbook,haha

[rapister]

Collector's Edition Contents:
• Exclusive 8" Kratos Statue
• Premium Steelbook case
• Official Game Soundtrack (digital version)
• PS3 Dynamic Theme
• PSN Avatar Pack
• Multiplayer Double XP Unlock
• Pass for future DLC content

So... this one is better than the omega edition from latin america in terms of DLC, but much less exclusive
(assuming you already have the other GOW titles already)

[DoctorX]

I wonder if we Europeans get different edition like special editions of God of war III.

[Madigan]

EU and AUS editions confirmed

http://blog.eu.playstation.com/2012/08/30/god-of-war-ascension-release-date-confirmed-special-editions-detailed/

The Collector’s Edition features the ultimate GoW collectible, a 8″ Kratos figurine. Packaged in a premium steel book game case, the set will also include the official game soundtrack (digital version), a PS3 dynamic theme and avatar pack, a double XP bonus for multiplayer (more info on this soon) and a DLC pass to unlock all future DLC for the game at no additional cost (more info on this soon too).

The Special Edition will feature a premium steelbook game case, the official game soundtrack (digital version), PS3 dynamic theme and avatar pack, and the multiplayer double XP bonus.

[NaughtyDogJames]

Hope the Collectors will be no more than £75.

[Saturn]

Hope the Collectors will be no more than £75.

Yeah! Because the only good thing it has is a figure. The rest of the stuff is nothing more than DLC crap.

[DoctorX]

Wow wow wee waa, thats awesome news, no more need to worry about importing. I think i will purchase special edition, because of steelbook. Thats enough for me. I will perhaps reconsider if that statue is really fine piece of art, but at the moment it's steelbook that matters.

It's sad to see todays trend with digital goodies. Maybe i'm just so old fart that i crave for physical items but hey cmon, it's supposed to be collectors edition. How do you keep collecting stuff that will vanish if sony closes it psn-servers.

[Dr_Jengo]

I think the statue looks great. Usually statues that come with CEs are not as detailed as others but this looks good, not great but good.

Pity that they decided to add a statue of Kratos only in this God of War game when he lacks any armor on his body. A statue of the Ares armor on him would have been awesome!

By the way anyone knows the story of this Kratos statue?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/God-of-War-12-Kratos-RESIN-STATUE-NEW-/261111330244?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3ccb72b5c4

Never seen it anywhere else other than this auction..

[NaughtyDogJames]

Arghh I want tr sackboy but I also want the CE!?!? Opinions on which to get people.

[Dr_Jengo]

You know what they say when u can't decide.... Get both!

[NaughtyDogJames]

I found out that you get it with both editions (I think) but it might be cheaper to get both as I'll have a lot less customs and can sell the Steelbook and have the UK edition.

Anyone want to take odds on whether the real statue will look anything like this? I'll be surprised, but will remain cautiously optimistic on the topic.

[cakefoo]

[Dreamcazman]

I've got the game preordered at Amazon for $80...

EB just listed here in Australia for... $144! :suicide:

https://www.ebgames.com.au/ps3-160020-God-of-War-Ascension-Collectors-Edition-PlayStation-3

Only sad thing is people are going to pay it. :(

[Letrico]

Lol cazman. We always get ripped off. I got it on Amazon too but I might switch to jb for sack boy. We got ripped more for ni no kuni. The rest of the world.sells for 100aud converted. We get it for 150.

[kittychloe]

thats nuts, $95 with postage from amazon or $144 from ebgames.. obvious choice.. now that the r18 thing is over we should probably start writing letters on pricing regulation

[Dreamcazman]

Lol cazman. We always get ripped off. I got it on Amazon too but I might switch to jb for sack boy.
Not everything we get ripped off with. The Colonial Marines CE is only $118 here and $99 on Amazon. When you include postage it's basically the same price. I'll be getting that locally so I can get it on launch day. :D

As for the Kratos sackboy, depends on how desperate you are to have one. :thumb:

[NaughtyDogJames]

Pretty desperate but ?40 the lowest it'll cost me once I sell the game. So unless any Aussies want to sell it separately (hint hint) then I'll have to leave it.

[kittychloe]

i might beg jb staff for one while buying another game on release day.. see if i can get one or 2

[kittychloe]

not sure the sack boy is worth paying $50 extra for but he will go nice with the other

[NaughtyDogJames]

If you do get any let me know as I'll buy one off you.

Some local retailers in Singapore will be having the Controller Edition bundled with the game so guess it's not a Japan Exclusive but no prices stated :facepalm:

I want the controller bundle, do you know if it will be a regular copy or the steelbook?

[Dr_Jengo]

Im guessing it's the regular copy. Not much details provided yet

[Lemur]

Watch the asia playstation announcements I guess. They always have detailed announcements for such bundle releases.

[jazzmartini]

Local also selling the game exclusive special edition but price not confirmed yet

[Dr_Jengo]

Yea comes with the Bronze Kratos statue released with the Brazil version I think?

[mosavon]

I'll need :help: with this one. :yes:

[jazzmartini]

Nope qs make a mistake and change the picture already, so it just the steelbook like game exclusive.

The bronze i thought only omega edition hv?

[tonybsg]

Just ordered the CE for 99E in a local store. For some reason initial price was 119 but they lowered it. Sony will localize it completely, it was about time (even though I'll still use original english audio).

[Dr_Jengo]

Ahh I see, but I saw another local site showing those 2 figurines and saying there will be 2 different editions.. Weird..

[Dr_Jengo]

Lol updates again, there seems to be a collector's edition and a special collector's edition.

Taken from their retail online store..

"God of War: Ascension Collector's Edition: Comes with 1 statue
God of War: Ascension Special Collector's Edition: The special collector edition adds 1 more statue to the standard collector edition"

Then there is the steelbook edition and the special dualshock 3 controller edition"

to add in the dualshock edition it said to be normal game and not steelbook but all further details is awaiting for the asia playstation to announce as all these four edition is asian one

[Dr_Jengo]

By the time they make the announcement, I would have already made my order at Gamestop.. :hammer:

[SwiftDeath]

Well the bronze kratos looks exactly the same as the kratos statue in the Latin Omega edition

I wonder if they're all numbered off the same run?

Or maybe there's seperate numbering for Latin america and asia like with the borderlands 2 loot chest?

Any idea how likely this is going to be the final product?

[ingmar1988]

That would suck if its same statue :(

Still not officially announced and haven't seen any other stores advertising it.

But this store seems to have a lot of contacts and are one of the best with bringing in CEs (local ones and imported ones). Everyone else seems to wait for official announcements from the main distributor.

But then again, this store is not officially recognized by the main distributors and they seem to work on their own. Still they are very popular for their prices (Usually lower than the rest of the market) and are mostly trustable with their sources...

Of course, all these is just my humble opinion.

[SwiftDeath]

Yes I guess but to be expected if you offer two seperate statues in the same CE

I mean that's quite rare, isn't it?

Wonder why it's not recognized by the main distributor

[jazzmartini]

Cos usually if local shop are partner shop with sony, their items will hv to follow sony RSP and that suck as it will be expensive. these stand alone shop, get their stock from other supplier, we tend to save more this way

[Dr_Jengo]

From what I hear. It's because they don't follow the Suggested Retail Price, they sell it for less. They sell loads that way, better prices, more sales, better prices again..

They sold more copies of Diablo 3 than the official distributor on release day.. Plenty of controversy about that due to their prices.. But in the end, consumers win! ;)

lol that's pretty sweet

Wish we had something like that over here

CE's are pretty much standard prices on release

Certain stores offer credit and other promotions sometimes though

[Dr_Jengo]

There's pros and cons of course..

Prices are better but sometimes you won't know what the exact price is or pre-order bonuses you are getting until release date or a few days before. Can be a little tricky for collectors who are looking for certain stuff.

So do you watch there updates closely then?

Not really, they have been around for years, and are growing, even before I started gaming. Their customer service is very good and they are trustable. They have taken care of their customers should anything go wrong. It's just that they aren't recognised by official distributors because of their tendency to sell under suggested Retail Prices.

Yup always follow their updates, have bought plenty of games from them as well.

Those Bronze Kratos statues run over 35,000+ from the ones i've seen, i doubt they made that many Omega Edition's so i would say for sure the Bronze statue in this Asia Edition is definitely from the same Sideshow run.

[ingmar1988]

yea the number of statues did not make sense because i also didnt think they have made that many omega editions if you look at the small market in south america, and i think most people there dont have the money to buy fancy ce.

[Dr_Jengo]

Yup very likely they will be from that run.. Doubt they made an exclusive statue solely for Asia..

That said, SGD$139 (~US$113) is a good price for the game, 2 statues, the steelbook and probably the season pass..

[mosavon]

Yeah i might get this and the Dualshock bundle, i will ditch the UK one

[Platfus]

Would like to get the special CE, but I don't think it will be available in cz. Also, is that second statue confirmed yet?

[Dr_Jengo]

So far I have heard, it's an asia exclusive.. No official announcement yet.

It's Asia.. One of the most hardcore gaming continents but regarding news and updates, it's probably the slowest.. :boredo:

[Lemur]

That shop mentioned is fucking dodgy. So many stories about them. Personally I avoid them.

[ingmar1988]

Whats the link to the shop?

[jazzmartini]

http://www.qisahn.com/

Personally they say this is just the estimated price they came out with and it not the official price

[Dr_Jengo]

Official price for the Dualshock Bundle is SGD $129.90. But the retailer above still has estimated price at SGD $109
Steelbook Edition will be included in it.
and 7 DLCs:
DLC 1. Mythological Heroes Pack
DLC 2. Blade of Judgement
ŸDLC 3. Pass for future DLC releases
DLC 4. PS3? Dynamic theme
DLC 5. Official game soundtrack
DLC 6. 48 Hour MP XP Booster
DLC 7. PSN Avatar Pack

There will also be a official pre-order event this Friday evening here in Singapore giving out the steel mug for first 50 customers pre-ordering the above bundle.

Still I don't see any official word on the Special Collectors Edition with the 2 statues but another retailer has confirmed on their FB page that those 2 statues will be the ones included..

[Rashmeet]

BuyGame2 have confirmed the CE to have 1 statue, Steelbook, Limited Edition DS3 and DLC. Best version imo.

Such a shame being an Asian country we're still under EU territory for games.

[Dr_Jengo]

All Asia CEs have been confirmed, the 2 statues are indeed the Ascension Version and the Omega Version from the South American edition.
All CEs and Bundles will come with the SteelBook Edition

Pre-orders are officially open in Singapore..

[Rashmeet]

Any pictures?
Sounds like an awesome version. Price?

[Platfus]

CE seems overpriced here in CZ...
What is good price?

[tonybsg]

In Greece it was initially 119E but after a while all the retailers dropped it at 99E.

amazon.uk had it for 60GBP at first, now its 75.

i found the game listed with a free god of war sackboy
anyone know if this is the same as posted earlier by a member showcasing JB hifi or if its dlc or owt

i found this listed from GameSeek. its mainly UK based as far as i know and ships worldswide

http://www.gameseek.co.uk/pd/VideoGamesau33wxm5wa/

[Platfus]

Just a little OT: could anyone sell only the Sackboy or do a group buy for it, but without game? I want it in CE or Xzone E.

Is the Gameseek one a updated version of the one above or a different one?

This is what I'm trying to find out. The picture is different but gameseek don't give any details. Does anyone know?

[NaughtyDogJames]

The gameseek is just a pciture if the DLC costume. I presume t's te same as the Aus one.

[Platfus]

Dualsock itself will be available in the czech republic as well

[bigg_k]

i got a reply from gameseek via twitter regarding the god of war sackboy item that comes free with preordering via them

i asked them
"hi. was wondering if you could give me and friends more details regarding the god of war sackboy? Is this dlc or a plush? thanks"

they replied
"I haven't seen them yet...Don't think they are 'plush', think they are 'hard' figures (not DLC)"

[KyleGM]

I cannot wait for this! Got it for ?50 from Amazon so it's a bargain :D

Yea from the first image, they look like vinyl figures

[Tejstar]

Ascension edition has been unboxed over on the official PS blog (http://blog.us.playstation.com/2013/03/01/god-of-war-unboxed-inside-the-ascension-collectors-edition/). Glad to see the figure is exclusive and won't be sold separately.

[Dr_Jengo]

Nice! I don't collect steelbooks so don't really like the decision to put the game disc into the steelbook itself. Was hoping to have a normal disc case to go along with it.

U wait later buy cos after first batch will be normal casing

Where did you hear/read that? Afaik there will be only one collectors edition .

[Dr_Jengo]

I think she meant buy the standard edition of the game later.

That means I will have to buy another copy of the game :P

[jazzmartini]

Yup here in singapore only first batch of the game come in steelbook, after it gone will be back to normal casing hehe

[Dr_Jengo]

Game's out everywhere in Singapore.. Weird but I'm waiting for my CE from GameStop USA with extra content ;)

No news on the dual shock edition that I POed locally though

[NaughtyDogJames]

From the unboxing's I've seen the EU got the best CE version. We get a slipcase for the steel and the box is so much better (it would be ideal to display the statue in).

I agree, but at nearly twice the price I'd rather have the US version.

[NaughtyDogJames]

I agree, but at nearly twice the price I'd rather have the US version.

In fairness we pay more for games anyway. Plus the US have tax which isn't included in the price AFAIK

[dahein]

The US Steelbook doesnt have th ps3 Logo on the Steelbook like the uk one.
I like the US Steelbook better ;)

[Dreamcazman]

That may be true, it's like that in Australia also, but you don't have to accept it. I try to find the best deals I can.

Ascension is $144 at EB, $80 at Amazon (plus a $10 credit), you do the math. :banana:

I don't know why the price difference is so great with this game, usually they're pretty close between regions.

Anyone want to take odds on whether the real statue will look anything like this? I'll be surprised, but will remain cautiously optimistic on the topic.

Not surprised, but wish I had been. That first photo looks horrible, the second two don't look awful to me.

Still, I'm not complaining because I think $79.99 is a reasonable price considering the extra content (as compared with $59.99 for just the game alone). I wasn't expecting a Sideshow quality statue for $20.00.

Euck, that is horrible... :eek:

Another case of Max Payne 3, luckily I skipped this one and got the Sackboy bundle

[Dreamcazman]

Don't know what everyone's complaining about, the staue looks alright to me, except for the speckled look, wtf is with that?

At least it looks like Kratos, Max Payne on the other hand. :facepalm:

meh always found god of war boring gameplay wise, the kinder egg figure does not help this edition

This picture looks okay. Passing on this one though.

[mosavon]

For such a great game series, that is a pretty lame CE.

[comaamen86]

:facepalm:

just one of those things, could never get on with it

[Mike1888]

GoW 3's wasn't anything special either.

[Madigan]

Just wait to see The last of US Post Pandemic Edition. :twisted:

Sony always released shitty CEs.

[mosavon]

:rules: new rule, you must like God Of War.

I always liked the Uncharted and Resistance ones. LBP too. Its hit and miss.

[ingmar1988]

Most Sony CE's are good (i liked uncharted EE, resistance3, infamous 2, killzone3). Cant really think of a really bad one this quickly (the only thing sucks killzone got way overproduced). Also a lot of nice steels.

[Strizay]

[Dreamcazman]

lol, that is funny. :D

Better not let my son see that, he likes the cookie monster.

[Lemur]

The Asia controller bundle is packed just like the Uncharted one. I just picked a copy for a member here. :beer:

On topic:

I just cancelled my preorder...i think this will drop in price pretty quick.

[DESOUL]

Can anyone help me get my hands on God of War Ascension Deluxe edition, I think its only sold in HongKong, Philippines, Singapore and Malaysia and i am very far away from that region.

[vhal_x]

Need to get me one of those at some point, to go with my Uncharted 3 one xx

[ingmar1988]

they are available in europe to right...but with different packaging. Would love it with my uncharted one as well (hate that i dont have the FFXIII one), but to expensive now.

[Murtera]

Has anyone grabbed the US edition? I am debating on picking it up or not and looking for a little input...

[Strizay]

is anyone selling the controller alone?

Very nice. I decided to man up and go get my preorder. Had a $20 certificate for Best Buy so got it at the price of just the game.

Mine's coming via expedited mail, call me a cheap arse :lol:

We don't have to pay any sort of fee for incoming mail, as long as it's less than $1000AUD.

There was talk about the government changing that, but I haven't heard anything of late.

[ison]

Does anyone know where i can find this now besides ebay (the guy there asks for 80$ shipping...i mean common 80$ p&p?)...

Maybe some one from hong kong /phil in here can help me?

[Dr_Jengo]

The promos from ordering at the pre-order event in Singapore.

Steel Mug, Posters and T-Shirt

The posters are made of very good quality material, not the usual material..

[Romeo]

Holy crap Veron you are lucky, those are amazing!

[Dr_Jengo]

Yup not all stores had this promo, it was only at 2 stores in Singapore and you had to pre-order on it on the first day. But I bet they had extras to give more out.

Other stores only had the steel mug from what I know..

[evilvort3x]

That mug and tshirt me wants.. :)

Nice! That looks awesome, but where's the other Kratos.

[trugamer1995]

i got the us verison(got really lucky i had to drive another gamestop 20 mins away from my local one because they sold out) its preety nice but base of the statue feel freaking CHEAP AS HELL but after you JAM the arms in the kratos statue it looks pretty nice..... just hold that base too long or you hate how cheap it feels puls the steel case is badass.

[enesis]

Nice! That looks awesome, but where's the other Kratos.
:D , we're too excited and forget the other statue .
The other kratos statue is same with the one from CE .
All remain the same except big - long box and impressive artbox design .
