The biggest announcement is that next year's God of War 3 will have a requisite premium bundle--this one is being called the Ultimate Edition. According to the blog post, the Ultimate Edition will be housed inside a replica of Pandora's Box and have two items inside--a God of War 3 game and an art book. The lion's share of exclusive content will be digital, as the Ultimate Edition will include voucher codes for an in-game exclusive skin for Kratos and a combat arena with an exclusive environment and seven challenges.

On the multimedia front, you'll be able to download a God of War 3 making-of documentary and two soundtracks--one containing music from the trilogy and the other including heavy metal tracks inspired by the series. According to the GameStop listing, the bundle will sell for $100.

Even if you're not willing to shell out a Ben Franklin for the Ultimate Edition, you'll still be able to score some sweet exclusives if you reserve the game before it comes out. Customers who pre-order either version of the game at select retailers will receive a voucher code to download God of War 3 demo today, before it's available with the God of War Collection or District 9. Additionally, Amazon, Best Buy, and GameStop will all have their own exclusive downloadable skin, none of which resemble Kratos all that much.

To find out more about the Ultimate Edition and the pre-order bonuses, you can check out the PlayStation Blog post or the official God of War site.
