On Sony's official PlayStation Blog, product marketing specialist Ken Chan poses a simple question: What do you want in the collector's edition of God of War III? From the look of the text, it seems that it's a definite to come our way now. So that's cool. What's more interesting perhaps is one or two of the options in a poll that was put up to ask fans what they'd like to see in said collector's edition.
While it asks your interest levels in things like a soundtrack, figurine or soundtrack, the most curious one has to do with including God of War and God of War II on Blu-ray. Now, folks with backwards-compatible systems can play those games just fine, Blu-ray or not. But gamers with newer PS3s wouldn't be able to. If said titles were to be included in the box, you would have to assume that Sony would somehow make them available for play for anyone who buys it, backwards-compatible machine or not. We'll leave the details up to your imagination (as that's all we can do right now), but it only makes sense to us that this couldn't be a straightforward burn onto a Blu-ray disc. Somehow, Sony would have to make the game run on every PS3, which might mean that other tweaks could be included.
We'll have more as things develop (or get sliced in half by Kratos).
