Sony has announced God of War – Ultimate Edition, a collector’s edition version of the game that includes a TON of premium collectible and exclusive digital content for true God of War fans. God of War 3 will be released on March 16, 2010 and will be available in the regular and ultimate editions.

So what do you get with this special edition? Take a deep breath . . .

* High-End Sculpted Replica of Pandora’s Box
* Limited-Edition God of War Art Book featuring exclusive art, content and interviews
Exclusive Digital Content (Available via PlayStation Network voucher codes on day of launch)
* God of War Combat Arena containing an exclusive environment and seven challenges
* Premium Kratos Skin – Dominus
* God of War: Unearthing the Legend Franchise Documentary – a full-length movie documentary depicting the history of the God of War franchise
* God of War Trilogy Soundtrack – God of War 1, God of War 2, and God of War III scores from the games (mp3 digital download).
* God of War: Blood and Metal EP – a heavy metal homage featuring original music inspired by God of War (mp3 digital download).

Additionally, if you pre-order the game at select retailers (Amazon, GameCrazy, GameStop) you’ll receive a voucher code for first immediate access to download the God of War III E3 2009 Demo! That means you can play it as soon as you pre-order!

And for those “Spartan Army” members who signed up to the official God of War web-site, they may find a special little code in their inbox that will let them download the God of War 3 demo off PSN! But only a select number will be sent the code and it’s random, but if you are a member keep an eye on that inbox!

Also don’t forget that you can alternatively get your hands on the God of War 3 demo by buying a copy of District 9 on Blu-ray which releases on December 29, 2009. Complete the demo on the District 9 disc to also unlock a God of War 3 documentary (no word on if it’s the same one as in the Ultimate Edition or not).

I personally think this God of War 3 set is BEAUTIFUL. And I can’t wait to hear that metal CD!
