Got my shipping confirmation for the super crazy Pandora's box edition this morning. Haven't been this excited for a game in years.

I just checked my order. Used my Gold Box discount, some $10 pre-order game credit and my last ECA discount from way back when and got it for $38.44 (not counting the $10 game credit it's giving me). Nice.

In keeping with the new title of this thread, I share with you another thread with a hilarious slant on the HHG video: http://forum.blu-ray.com/blu-ray-gam...-industry.html

The video is linked below. Sure, his grammar is bad and there are some muddled thoughts trying to be expressed. But, there is a real and true message that needs to be heard. Hear him out and tell us what you think.

Just get Dante's Inferno. It's basically the same game, mindless button mashing.

That's sort of like saying that Orca is basically the same movie as Jaws.

Somehow you beat me. I've got roughly all the same discounts ($10 discover discount vs. pre-order credit) but mine's at $39.94.

I was gonna reply with something along the lines of while they both might be mindless button mashers, one looks and especially feels far superior to the other - but I like your analogy better.

Good luck getting through the spike columns in the first game just by closing your eyes and mashing buttons randomly.

Looks like TRU has the free $20 gift card from 10am-2pm on release day. Guess that's where I'm going.

Re: Official God Of War III thread of deserving a 10 not bias journalism

I still haven't decided where I'm going to go buy this game. Future Shop has $5 off if you preorder the game but I also want those exclusive skins that Amazon.ca (Apollo) and EB Games (Phantom of Chaos) are offering. What are the chances that they will be available later on the PSN?

Remember, you can't even use the skins until your second play through. It really shouldn't be a deal-breaker for most.

Re: Official God Of War III thread of deserving a 10 not bias journalism

Local indie store has had the game since Thursday and I've done everything I can to keep myself from buying it (not enough time to play, and I'm also trying to burn through Dante's Inferno, because once I get GoW3, I'll never touch D'sI again), but I think I'm gonna break down and buy it today after work!

I want to get this but I'm still hooked playing MLB and I haven't even run through GoW 1 & 2. I should probably finish those first I'd imagine.

Thanks. I'm hoping that it becomes available on the PSN anyways. I'll think I'll go ahead and get the $5 off of this game.

And in case you didn't know, 7-11 has their own skin they're giving away with 10 Slurpee points. If I'm in a charitable mood, I might go ahead and give one of them away in this thread tomorrow...

They should have let you unlock all these skins during the first run through and then change the skins on the fly (see Wolverine Origins).

Seems like Amazon has the Ultimate edition up for preorder again. At this point, I doubt this will be anything close to rare.

Re: Official God Of War III thread of deserving a 10 not bias journalism

question about Kratos.


How are his blades attached to his back? It may seem like a stupid question, but I've wondered for a while.

He doesn't have any sort of holster or strapping mechanism, yet the blades get fixated onto his back every time they aren't in use.

Was there ever a story explanation for this or is this one of those "video game things", like Leon carrying a shotgun, RPG and grenades in a giant weapons case.

Magnets embedded on his shoulder blades.

I was tempted before, but not so much anymore. The game is all I need...

Amazon only lets you order 1 copy of Ultimate.
