    Actually, I'm pretty stoked about the HD documentary on the series that comes with it. Also, it's two soundtracks, the musical score, and the metal album, which includes Dream Theater. The other bands, I don't know too much about, but the DT track sounds awesome. The Artbook I have to see first, but the Music and Doc, as well as the cool box were convincing enough for me. I'm getting this free, but even if I wasn't, I was ready to buy it.

    Yeah, I was hoping for a toy but oh well. I'm going to get my money's worth by rolling the windows down and blasting GOW music all the way home.

    No kidding... just a few more hours till midnight.

    Obviously if someones willing to buy the collectors edition, it's not just for the game. If they just wanted the game, why would they spend an extra 40 bucks?

    If anyone was buying the collectors edition just for the game and had no interest in the extra stuff, that would be crazy.

    I just finished the first level and that had to be the most epic first level i've EVER played lol. The only thing about the game bugging me isn't even the game but the douchebags at gamestop. I'm sorry, but for as long as I can remember, guys that work at video game stores are all jerks. Last time gamestop gets my money.....

    The game is actually underneath a black panel at the bottom of the box

    Not sure if anyone else picked this up but my box is full of this black dirt. Anyone else have that problem?

    No black dirt, but I think that has something to do with your box being an actual pandora's box. It's a trick, get an axe.

    Also, holy fucking shit on the first battle.

    I have a small disappointment with the Unltimate edition.

    I REALLY would have rather had the soundtracks and documentary in individual discs. I'm happy that the downloadable doc is in SD and HD, but I would have liked that box to be jam packed, not full of paper vouchers. Also, the web site for the soundtrack is down, which is a motherfucker, because I want the damn score.

    Seriously though, those first 10 minutes of the game made me question the reality of what I was looking at. My doubtful mind was thinking that they were combining CG with realtime foreground, like FF7 did a long time ago, but that just was not the case.

    While I haven't truly began to play it, since I only had about a half hour free, I did watch the opening. Words cannot describe how amazed I am at the graphics. They are the best I have ever seen.

    Yeah, the game is pretty amazing! I just managed to defeat 2 of the "gods". I think that there could be a
    "side" quest after beating Hades, the Black Smith asked Kratos' to save his daughter
    ?

    yeah, I thought that stuff would be on disks as well but D/L content is good to I suppose. That still doesn't take away any of this games greatness:dj

    it's cool, basically you place the word spoiler within brackets.... so

    [ spoiler] Kratos is really a woman [/ spoiler]

    Just remove the spaces I put in my example.

    Yeah GOW doesn't have the most amazing story ever, but spoilers should still be darknened.

    Kratos ain't even a man. He makes a man look like a woman, so he's like a new gender.
