God of War: Ascension Collector's Editions

Well if this Christmas was not costing you an arm and a leg with the amount of games that are coming out, they go and make the start of next year jam packed with new releases as well. Of course they have to go and throw a spanner into the works by announcing collector editions now. Today Sony announced on the Europe Blog they will be doing two editions for the new God of War game.

Special edition is up first which is basically the steel book case with a few extras. I love the simple look of the case and the use of the glowing logo, it works for me so if I don't get the big edition then this will be a must. Also includes the soundtrack, double XP for the multi player then throw in a avatar pack and theme for the console. Nice special edition on all accounts but I do think it's missing something, maybe a figurine? well they have you covered for that.

Look at this bad boy! the figurine! the box art and all the extras! they designed this with me in mind. Ok down to business and let's talk about what is included, well first off the awesome looking box which I regret throwing away the God of War 3 one now. All the stuff from the special edition is included as well plus an extra armour set based on Mythological Heroes which is a bit annoying since it's also the pre-order bonus.

Now the first extra awesome bonus and that's a pass for all future DLC will be included, now that's a bonus! so a season pass basically but of course it depends what type of DLC it will be. I'm hoping for some extra single player stuff and not just multi player maps/skins.

Finally the best part in the box and it had to be last of course, the Kratos figurine and how cool does it look. In fact just to be nice to you my readers I've cropped the figurine out of the original image of the blog so you can see it up close. Just click the imagine below to the full size version of it then when you done go place an order for it, well actually you cannot yet but still start saving!.

So folks what will you be getting out of this lot? me I'm hoping for the collectors if I can get the money together in time, reason I say that is because Tomb Raider is out the week before and Gears of War Judgement is the week after. March is turning out worse then November and that's saying something.

P.S. I forgot to post up the picture of the pre-order bonus armour set which is also included in the Collector's Edition.
