God of War: Ascension PS3 bundle includes all six games

New $350 500GB garnet red system to launch in March featuring 30-day PS Plus membership and all God of War games to date.

131 Comments

Sony is marking the return of Kratos with an all-new, game-stuffed system bundle. The company today announced the $350 God of War: Ascension Legacy Bundle, which features a 500GB garnet red system (with matching controller), a copy of God of War: Ascension, and the God of War Saga.

No Caption Provided

This includes God of War, God of War II, God of War III, and the God of War: Origins Collection (which includes PSP games God of War: Chains of Olympus and God of War: Ghost of Sparta).

In addition, the God of War: Ascension Legacy Bundle includes a 30-day trial membership to PlayStation Plus.

The bundle will be available day-and-date with God of War: Ascension on March 12.

Sony just last weekend launched a 500GB white PS3 model, marking the first time Sony had ever released a PS3 in any color other than black in the United States or Canada.

The God of War series has sold over 21 million units worldwide since it launched in March 2005. God of War: Ascension is a prequel to the original, and is the first entry in the franchise to feature a multiplayer component. A trailer for the game will play during the online Super Bowl XLVII stream this weekend.

Don't suppose there's any chance of them selling just the GoW bundle without a PC3 attached?

The last GoW was my first time playing this series and was one of the few games that showed the ps3 had a slight edge over the xbox when it really came down to it. Shame about the other 99% of games though.

@mattcake And shame about your two games that hold up the entire 360...


it is merely a matter of taste but the ps3 does have far more exclusives and IPs to enjoy.

@WolfGrey "My" 2 games? I own every console going and have no allegiance to any. Whether the PS3 has more exclusives or not doesn't really matter when 99% of cross platform games run better on the xbox. Don't assume everyone who criticises the ps3 is an xbox fanboy, I'm just a realist who buys the games on the platform they're best on. It doesn't matter to me which platform that is.

@mattcake @WolfGrey To be fair, the best platform for games are on the PC.

@ClaudiusCaesar If people haven't bought a PS3 now then I doubt this will make anyone buy one now. At this point console sales tend to be replacement systems rather than first time buys.

@TTDog Not really. People buy a new console when its the right time for them. If not that way, all consoles would sell only on launch day. Now, probably, it's the right opportunity for many that don't have a PS3 yet.

@ccgod I feel sorry for the exclusives you are missing. Don't waste your time here, go back to play Halo 8 and Kinect games.

@TTDog Halo 8 was to mock that 360 has only Halo and Gear. This bundle has only one franchise, but then you can get lots more later.

@AceJakk: And a lot of people don't... It doesn't make them wrong for not liking what you do. For some its too cut scene heavy, too full of itself and light on actual gameplay.

@Grenadeh @ClaudiusCaesar @ccgod "MGS 4, who cares"? You immediately clarified what type of person you are with that statement. It's one of the most important franchises in the past 20 years and therefore, a lot of people care.

@ClaudiusCaesar @ccgod I have a ps3 and 360, they aren't missing anything. Uncharted, MGS4, Heavy Rain - that's it. Infamous isn't good enough to buy a PS3 for. Uncharted is a rinse repeat of empty room/100 enemies and stays afloat only on its story and graphics. MGS4, who cares. Last of Us might be the only exclusive worth getting when it comes out.

I already have a 360 and PS3 and plan on getting a Wii U, but man, seeing this bundle definitely makes me want to hold off on getting a Wii U until they offer a deal that comes even remotely close to matching this, which sadly, will probably never happen.

Holy Hell, that's the most action packed System bundle ever offered o.o. I think it just might top the Zelda Collection Gamecube, but only because that bundle didn't include A Link to the Past.

and I bet some of the games will be DLC just as they did with that alleged collection that allegedly had all 5 games in it when it only had 3 and 2 were DLC

I still haven't got a single God of War game, and I've had my ps2 since 2002 and my ps3 since 2009...I guess I should look into buying these games eventually

I already bought a superslim PS3 250GB. Plus I have all the God of War games. Released thus far. This system looks nice in red. Why Sony waited so late to release different colered systems here in North America. Hopefully Sony won't do this next gen.

If you still haven't got a PS3 then this is your best bet.

That is an awesome deal for those who do not own a PS3 yet. Too bad the console isn't blood red.

Everyday this year I see more news that entices me to buy a PS3. There are about 10 games I would get right from the start, including all of the GoW games..

It's a good deal, but unfortunately we are getting the awful top loading PS3 Super Slim with it. If this included the original PS3 Slim, I'd be more interested in it. I already own God of War Saga and a 320GB original PS3 Slim. I'd rather hold onto my $350 for the next XBox 720 or some nice exclusive games like The Last of Us or Gears of War: Judgement.
