well i picked up the ultimate edition and gotta say I should have gotten the regular edition. The Box is crap, looked all cool from photos and then you get it and the felt inside the box is comming off getting all over the game and art book. Also theres no soundtrack cd, its mp3 download only...... I really wish they would have done a Kratos figure and honestly i feel ripped off for a $100 bucks...... Stick with the regular edition. Game is fun so far at least :)

Yeah, I'm usually never too happy with the Collector's editions, so I don't really get them as often as I should. My top 3 collectors editions in my opinion: 1. BlazBlue - Extra 2 disc OST and BluRay Guide extra absolutely FREE just for buying it early 2. Demon's Souls - 10 dollars extra with preorder got you a full colored guide, artbook, and soundtrack CD 3. Assassin's Creed 2 - 20 dollars extra for a freaking HUGE Ezio figure (looks badass and detailed), a hardcover artbook, BluRay disc with tons of stuff, and some extra codes to unlock maps. Anything from Atlus or Aksys I've learned have been pretty good, but distribution is a weak point for them.

Dang, I just found out that you can get the music stuff for 1.99 through the official site. So I basically payed $30 for a crappy plastic box..... Sheesh.

its ok, i mean it aint the greatest thing, but for a game thats suppose to conclude the series, its decent. i mean yea the box doesnt look 100% like the pictures, but then again, all of u should of known that usually collectors edition for games usually are kinda 'meh' u know? only ones i liked is blazeblue and demons souls, i kinda like the gow3 ultimate box, maybe cuz i wasnt really hypin myself for much, the game is wat i really wanted.

Well, one thing that killed the box for me was when I first saw a picture of it in a gamestop advertisement there was a PS3 sitting next to it and the PS3 could easily have fit in the box in the picture. There was also all these vouchers and cds spread out in front of it as if all that stuff came inside the box. The box also looked very authentic looking. Basically, I was the victim of false advertisement! When the dude handed me that little @$$ box he actually smirked at the face I made. I really thought this was going to be the most epic pre-order ever. Now, I know why it was so impossible to find the dimensions of the box listed anywhere on the net!

Think about it this way: you supported the dev's, so that when they make a new game, they will have a bigger budget :)

I have got the regular edition. Maybe, I am a big fan of the series but I wouldn't spend extra 80 € on something I don't need.

Now a Tshirt and poster would've been cool... I must say that the "Unearthing the Legend" bonus is both useless and and awesome at the same time. Its a hour and ten minute documentary that explains the story of Kratos as if he were an actual Greek hero. Its hosted in the style of somethi you'd see on the discovery channel and its hosted by.....Robocop! Seriously. :P

Yeah, i'm going to do the same. Just a poor quality product. The Halo Legendary Edition was much better than this.. and the Gears of War lancer just blew all collector's edition out of the water. I'm sure they painted the pandora's box in the advertisments better, with more detail. Perhaps, even a bigger model to enhance it's look on the photos. It looks NOTHING like it. I'm definitely going to sell it on eBay.

Before they came back in stock on Amazon on Monday they were selling for about 150 on Ebay. Haven't checked since, but since you can't find them anywhere again odds are you should be able to make a profit right now. Things could change though if they come back in stock.

Wasn't worth the extra $40 at all. If would have been for me if the Soundtracks were on disc. I don't really care that Pandora's Box wasn't as high quality as people were expecting because I expected it to be as much however, it felt empty with only the art book and game and everything else digital when lesser limited editions contained more physical media.

Who cares if it's download only? As long as I can stick it on my mp3 player and save it on my ps3, I'm fine. What's the difference? And I don't see why so many people are complaining about the box. How many people honestly bought it just for the box? The music and documentary played the biggest role for me. I love behind the scenes stuff, and more games need them. Plus GOW has some of the best game music out there. I'm not going to fork out an extra 40 bucks just for a box.

Just got the ultimate edition today. You really think the box is that bad? With the way you were going on, I thought it'd be a lot worse. Yeah it's plastic, but it's not as cheap as you made it out to be. Were you expecting gold plating? lol Anyway, I'm totally satisfied. The box is really nice in my mind, and if it was much bigger I'd be hard-pressed to find a place to keep it.

Downloaded the music. A soundtrack for each game, plus 7 heavy metal versions. Pretty awesome.

Also, the art book is much bigger and better than I'd been expecting. Still haven't even put the game in yet, and I'm actually impressed. I'm usually a sucker for always buying the collector's edition, but this is by far the best collector's edition I bought yet. Yet everyone complains just because the box is too small...

What happens when you try to use the codes? Also, I think it only works in the US and Canada. So if you're in the UK, it might not work.

It was worth it, but I'm kind of pissed that the trilogy soundtrack and blood and metal are download only. I was finally able to redeem the code and get the music after 2 days of trying. (Sony said they were having problems or something with the site) Aside from that, the UE is great and worth the extra $40. I'm glad I got it.
