Thanks for mentioning this. I should have put it in the details. Amazon.com and other retailers around the world will be getting copies of the softcover (or hardcover) standard version.

Was wondering if ballistic would get mentioned here, currently i have 4? of their books, all of them slip cased but none of them are the game art ones though

I believe the GOW 3 Artbook is their best Art of Game folio yet and worth the money. You can visit the facebook page of Ballistic Publising where they have shown the unboxing of the Special edition.

Its their biggest folio till date and pure awesome. As foreverflash mentioned, Garth Hammet is a is indeed a great guy and very helpful. He is actually the CFO / COO of Ballistic Publishing. Another good person to speak there would be Carissa Wang. She usually handles the sales enquiries.

Ballistic are not yet accepting pre-orders for Folio but I spoke with Garth yesterday and got 1 reserved for myself. If you want to reserve a specific number, contact them at the earliest. My name is Tate and you can give them my reference which would hopefully help.

But I was told that the people who previously purchased folios would be given priority for number of their choice and they will have an option to select the same number as their previous folios. So it would be prudent if you hurry up and request for the number of your choice. Whilst the number might not be an issue to some , many (me included) like preferred numbers.

Hope this helps and good luck wth your purchase

Well that sucks and it's unfair to take pre orders before they open it to the public.... They do this with every limited edition?

That happens with all the companies in case you are not aware of it my friend. If you know people, you can get things done. Its just way of life. Also I mentioned that that I got 1 reserved, not pre-ordered. So I havent paid anything but owing my good relations with the company, but its just a good gesture on his part.

If I am suggesting to give my reference to members here for reservations, I am also taking a favour from him for them. It doesnt have to be an issue since in this context you are not exactly general public.


I have got far more rare and precious items that this and some were infact never released to public. But thats how the world works

I don't collect 360 games either, very very little if at all. But this GOW3 artbook folio qualifies for purchase just on its quality itself

Is the deal Gran Turismo Artbook finalised yet? Last I heard Sony had some issues. Not sure there

[mosavon]

No Gran Turismo isn't available yet, people believed it got canned like InFamous but its very much in development.

The very reason UC3 Artbook never happened was cause of Sony, ND were fine with it in my knowledge

Im waiting for their god of war 3 folio to drop in price, that one didnt sell well at well. Do you have any knowledge of this by chance (discounting in general), its just seems to me its taking up shelf place and i dont imagine many will be sold now.
