How much would you expect to pay for God Of War III, the PS3 re-release of God Of War I & II, plus assorted goodies? If you said under $200, you’d be way off the mark.
EB Games has announced the price for the God Of War III Ultimate Trilogy Edition, the limited edition box exclusive to the retailer.
That price is $258.01. UPDATE: Since this post was published, the EB Games product page has replaced the previously listed price with $TBC. We’ll follow up with Sony and EB to find out what’s going on.
To put that into perspective, let’s take a look at the North American Ultimate Edition. It comes with the same Pandora’s Box packaging, the same bonus in-game content, the same soundtrack, the same documentary, the same art book and of course the same God Of War III game.
Its price? $US99.99.
The only difference is we get the God Of War Collection (God Of War I & II given a high resolution makeover) and a bunch of postcards in our special edition.
Who’s preordering now?
[Thanks to Michael, Vel, Isaac and everyone else who tipped this!]

And you’d be surprised how many people don’t know how to use the internet, or in fact even work their PS3s, or know why they even have PS3s.
People are idiots.

Tuesday, January 12, 2010 at 12:08 PMSaw this article and just had to ask EB what was going on and got an official reply from there head office in Queensland, and it goes something like this. ” we have not received a official price from the publisher but to offer preorders and offer preorder bonuses our computers demand a R.R.P.”
Wonder what the preorder bonus will, Any ideas???
(I hope that it is not more downloadable content, it already has enough of that already)

Wednesday, January 13, 2010 at 10:51 AMChecked the EB Games site just then and it seems that they’ve lowered the “estimated R.R.P.” to $248. Now THAT’S a bargain *extreme sarcasm*.

Wednesday, January 13, 2010 at 11:57 PMThe estimated RRP is AU$248 now.
If Gametraders is selling GOW 1&2 HD for $100, add GOW 3 for around $90, that’s already $190. So… does the Pandora’s box, bonus DLC, soundtrack and EP, documentary, art book and postcards worth $60??

Sunday, January 24, 2010 at 5:03 PMWhen you consider how much the God of War 1 and 2 HD sell for, it is reasonable pricing. I put it forward to the customers like that when they exclaim the outrage in price.
Also we are forgetting that we normally get a $50 markup on our game prices from America’s anyway.
In store it is $250 for the trilogy edition and on the site it is now $248.

I’ve never ordered from there before, but won’t that mean that all of the texts/slicks/game books won’t be in English? Has anybody ever ordered from there and had this problem before?

if you bought the remasted collection ( 29.99 now at walmart.com) and the collections edition gow3 for 99.99 at walmart.com) it would be around 130.00, which means you would be paying 120.00 for the DLC and the kinda cool box it comes in. WTF??????
