The Art of God of War: Ascension Art Book (First 1,000 copies will be signed)

[MortalMonday]

They went hog wild with the edition size. 1,000 signed copies is just ridiculous. Should have been 200 signed copies, tops.

What was Journey's signature edition limited to btw?

[Madigan]

The first 750 copies.

[MortalMonday]

750 signed copies for Journey's artbook.

Maybe they thought that because the Journey books sold so well, that they could get away with upping the edition size to 1,000 copies on this one? Who knows.

For all I know, they're gonna sell all 1,000 copies fast. I still think 1,000 copies is way too many though.

man, also shipping to germany costs 60 Dollar shipping + customs
i contacted bluecanvas and asked them if there will be a "international" release someday or if this artbook is only available at bluecanvas.com... but i think its only available at BlueCanvas.com, the Art of Journey already was only available at BlueCanvas.com when i remember right...

70 $ Artbook + 60 $ Shipping + 20? $ Customs

[ingmar1988]

20 customs plus 20 postal company cost lol.

BlueCanvas answered me, heres what they said:

"...However, the book will be available on Amazon as a standard copy. (Journey was as well) It allows us to offer the book and utilize Amazon's shipping rates. Those copies ship directly from our printer to Amazon for fulfillment, so they aren't signed ... but they should be considerably cheaper when it comes to shipping costs.

You can expect to see the book on Amazon near September."

so i wait to september and hope the shipping costs will be around 40$ or even cheaper?

Up on Amazon now but not currently unavailable.

i dont like the appearance of god of war ascension art book, ii love god of war 3 art book and is unfair that a god of war art book signed worth more that unsigned, is the look the same, and the shipping cost hahaha ridiculous, in fact sony are begging for signed art book because nobody want it, the expect that the signed art book sold out in the first week. and they wrong, like add multiplayer, and no press kit edition, but sony deserve it, because that happens when you sell a average game with a filling story line,

That's you opinion and all to you... Me I'm not a great fan of the GOW series the game play is not 360 and if the stick to that format well good luck to them on the next one as that kind of 2D game play (RE6) is not for me anymore. To the book it's under priced I think, paid more for books that are less thick Art of Darksiders Hardback, AC BrotherHood SGG cost me an arm and a leg for me it's about the talent and creativity some people have no matter what there game is. This book is a challenge on it's own the size is out there (still think they can't pull this off) Product Dimensions: 304.8mm x 254mm x 50.8mm, Product Dimensions: 12 x 10 x 2 inches, Shipping Weight: 6.4 pounds. When I worked on a Metal Mag back in the late 90s the mag was 5mm thick 100 pages (crap paper) the repo and pics cost 30.000 pounds alone for a 3 pound mag then there's ink and printing, binding, design and distribution so this is a big Job this book for me posting is a killer but what the hell if they were selling for 30 US and free posting I think you would get one then again I may be wrong.
