Sony has remembered it has customers in the EU! I can’t believe I just wrote that sentence. Exciting news for all you God of War fans in PAL territories. The EU Playstation Blog has just updated with a post that has made me 10 times more excited than Zuler on a good day! For those of you who don’t know our resident trophy-hunter, that’s very excited. Enough of me rambling, you want the facts, don’t you?
Well, first off, if you are signed up to receive e-mail newsletters from SCEE, then you are in with a chance of winning one of a limited number of God of War 3 demo codes. They have advised us to keep an eye on our inbox’s over the weekend. If you get one, you can download from the PSN instantly. The bad news is if you haven’t signed up to these newsletters, doing so now will not put you in contention for a code.
The second piece of information that Thach Quach, the game’s EU Software Product Manager, has brought us is that the EU WILL be getting the special God Of War Collection, which contains the previous 2 games in HD with trophy support and the demo too. If this isn’t exciting you by now, then you are dead! Of course, many of us have already pre-ordered the US version, but this means more and more people can enjoy the best game franchise ever, in my opinion. If you haven’t worked out by now, I’m a God of War fanboy!
UPDATE #1: I apologise for the above paragraph. It turns out I needed to take a deep breath and count to ten! What Mr. Quach actually said was that they will also be announcing the God of War 3: Ultimate Edition (not GoW Collection).
UPDATE #2: Mr. Quach has since been responding to questions on the blog and regarding the God Of War Collection, he has said:
Everything regarding the PAL version of the God of War Collection and God of War III special edition will be unveiled later. Bear with me on this, I won’t let European consumers down, that’s for sure!
Sounds like the EU may well be getting the collection after all!
It is worth mentioning that Thach has also said, in regards to the recent District 9 Blu-Ray story, that this is for North America only. They will let us know if they do something similar here in the EU. SCEE will announce all the details very soon and Mr. Quach has said that we will not be disappointed at all.

Shame you didn’t post in the right area, you could’ve bagged some TSA points.
Cheers for the upload though, nice trophy lists there.

Was a good laugh on the psp so have been looking forward to seeing if it still would be on the ps3? Good for the EU region to actually get something the US isn’t for a change.

hey, this wouldn’t be possible without scee, blame them.
if they hadn’t used this stupid method of distributing demos everybody could get a copy, but no, they have to use the bonehead method,
how many of those codes are going to go to waste because they randomly got sent to people who have no interest in the game, and how many are going to end up on ebay, hell if i get one i might just be tempted to stick it on ebay.

Yes, got the demo now. Download is on 86 % and counting. Too bad I had to delete my Heavenly Sword file to actually download God of War III, even though I had 4 GB before I deleted Heavenly Sword, and the God of War III demo is 2,6 GB. Really pissed me off, actually.

Doesn’t seem as though I got one. 2.4GB is a heck of a download for my internet anyway, but I am going to sign-up for the SCEE newsletter just in case stuff like this comes up in the future.
