Is this lawyer guy serious? So a game purported to have 3D doesn't have it and you can take Sony to court for an error? WTF is wrong with this country?
God of War five-pack, Infamous compilation hit PS3 for $40

PlayStation Collections software line launches Aug. 28 with budget-priced compilations of all past non-cellphone God of War, Infamous titles plus bonus content.
Gamers who have never played a God of War or Infamous title may want to wait until later this month to begin their digital journeys. This morning, Sony announced a new PlayStation Collections software line, which will launch for the PlayStation 3 August 28 with the God of War Saga and the Infamous Collection for $40.
Inside the God of War Saga (rumored last week) is the original God of War, God of War II, God of War III, and the God of War: Origins Collection (which includes PSP games God of War: Chains of Olympus and God of War: Ghost of Sparta). Additionally, the God of War Saga packs in unspecified "exclusive bonus content" and a one-month PlayStation Plus trial voucher. All games in the God of War Saga have been remastered for high-definition, and include Trophy support, and 3D functionality (for God of War: Origins Collection only).
The Infamous Collection packs in the original Infamous, Infamous 2, the standalone Infamous: Festival of Blood downloadable expansion, extra missions, and additional character costumes, power-ups, and weapon styles.
Sony also said that "select titles" from the God of War Saga and Infamous Collection will be available individually--without any of the extra content--through the PlayStation Store. No prices were provided. Additionally, it appears the PlayStation Collections line will grow, as Sony said gamers can expect news in the coming weeks of what other franchises the company will bundle together.
Lastly, Sony reiterated that the Ratchet & Clank Collection will arrive on August 28. That PS3 pack contains PlayStation 2 Ratchet & Clank games: Ratchet & Clank, Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando, and Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal. These games have been updated with Trophy and 3D support and come by way of Pain developer Idol Minds.
[UPDATES AND CORRECTIONS] After the publication of this story, Sony revealed it had made a typo in its original reporting regarding 3D support for God of War III. God of War III will not support 3D, but God of War: Origins Collection will. Additionally, the original version of this story listed the God of War Saga and Infamous Collection as retailing for $30. The bundles in fact retail for $40. GameSpot regrets the error.

Hi, I am one of the consumer protection lawyers at Girard Gibbs LLP. We?re looking into the advertising of God of War Saga ?that it was promoted as having a 3D version of God of War III but which is actually not 3D compatible. We understand some customers may be upset about this and we are interested in talking to anyone who has been affected. If you want to spend a couple of minutes letting us know your story, feel free to email (ctc@girardgibbs.com) or call (866-981-4800).

When does the inFAMOUS Collection release in India, i never got a chance to play both the inFAMOUS games and i would love to buy it. Somebody please reply i have been waiting.
1 Like but rockstar should have gave wii gta vc sa and 3 , or give wii u a gta iv /v collection
darkchoas rockstar did this for gta , it was called gta trillogy released on xbox and ps2 they also have a 2 pack for psp and ps2 that included their respective vcs and lcs games
I need to see the "extra" content in order to go for the complete saga
Personally I prefer to buy individual games
i have a better idea:buy the gow collection then use the psn+ trial to download infamous 2 for free
= profit (sort of)
@HyabusaRyu lol good idea but then youll have 1 month to finish the game before it gets locked
Any word of what the Exclusive God Of War content are they releasing in the Saga?
I'm going to be so pissed of if they release some actual level or playable content exclusively to this. Way to tell long time fans that they now get screwd and can't get it.
Honestly, Sony is getting a bit ridiculous with these HD collections, but at least they're good collections. If you haven't played GoW ever...you'd be crazy not to get this bundle.
@thetravman I'Ve finished one and liked it. Played the second pretty much and the 3rd just a demo... How many canon games of GOW is there anyways ?
Nice. I only have God of War III and have wanted the other God of War games. Now I can just wait for this to come out.
Fuck!
You mean i bought all the god of war games separately for nothing?
Great now my copies are worthless...
Great news for those who don't already have these titles. I have GoW I-III in HD already. As well as inFamous, freebie from Sony. So I most likely wont be getting these.

The Ratchet collection is primed to be added to my library.
I've been considering buying The Origins Collection, but I'll wait for this. Much better deal.
Sony releasing bargains like this = Sony considering when they will announce their new console.
On a serious note though the GoW package is just too good to miss. I have the third iteration but will go for this on its release.
I would love to see a complete Metal Gear package which includes Metal Gear 1+2, Metal Gear solid Snake (SNES), Metal Gear Solid 1-4, Peace Walker, Portable ops 1+2. A lot of games and I would pay handsomely for this compilation of classics.
@gotrekfabian Yeah, I'd at least like Portable Ops ported as a PSN download to go along with Peace Walker, just can't play fluidly using that crappy PSP controls. And for Kojima to just remake the old MSX games and expand on them to flesh out such a huge missing gap in the story, which was only delivered by dialog boxes and text limitations.
I'm torn. I bought the first two as digital downloads less than a month ago. I had planned on getting GOW3, Ghost of Sparta and Chains of Olympus all as digital downloads, but now, it will cost me more to do that than to get the disc. So I either spend more for the last three, or I spend less to get two games I've paid for already. WHAT DO I DO?
@FlakeyCrust Pay less and get more of course! No brainer really, depends on whether you can wait for its release mind. If you buy the disc there is also the option to sell it on after you have enjoyed its pleasure. Something (not yet) possible with electronic media.
2 Like I definitely love this idea :) my wishes are:
Ratchet and Clank Future Bundle
all LEGO games MEGA bundle :P :)
Mass Effect bundle INCLUDING the first one!
I already got these games separately but 40 bucks for 5 really good games is a great deal. Cant wait for ratchet and clank tho !!
1 Like Not bad, i still want this for VITA, but for $40 is a no-brainer. Amazing games at a cheap price only for people who don't have yet the games. I only have GOW1, 3 and CoO BUT my PS2 and PSP died long ago so im thinking on get this.
1 Like I'm willing to bet both EA & Activision COD and BF would of tried doing this bundle thing as well, if it wasn't for them closing down online servers of old games. :P
@servb0ts And most likely they would realise they can't bundle the COD series because the fans might finally realise they are re-packaging the same game over and over
so I just got a used PS3 with GoW3 for 15bucks and I gotta say its one of the most beautiful and awesome game ever. Kratos IS a god. is this worth purchasing?? are the prequels as beautiful as the 3rd? as bloody,awesome as GoW3? for 40$ seems interesting
@GamerOuTLaWz The prequels aren't as visually spectacular as III as they were originally made for PSP. They're still stunning when taking that into consideration. They're probably on par with God of War and II, if not slightly better. $40 for all five GoWs is a cracking price and well worth it.
3 Like They need to make a Persona HD Collection as well.
Can't wait to see Persona 3 and 4 on the PS3 as HD remakes. Would be something good for them to release just in time for when Persona 5 hits.
They also need to make Valkyria Chronicles Collection, with VC1, 2 and 3... This way they can bring the second and third game which are PSP Japan only release over to the west.
Sorry for off-topic :P
Will definitely buy GOW Saga but I'll skip Infamous. My only complaint is why GOW Origins are not on disc.
We've already got a Collection line from Sony, why do we need another one? I've already payed twice for God of War, God of War II, Chains of Olympus and Ghost of Sparta; I won't be paying for them again. I wonder how the trophies will work in light of the previous PS3 releases. Will they be the same trophies? If so, will they be in addition to the previous releases or will they overlap?
@deadkingdg @PayneKiller Thank you both for pointing out that I don't HAVE to buy this collection. I thought it was a mandatory purchase. I wasn't complaining that this was being released, just stating that I won't be purchasing it even though it sounds like there will be features not present on previous releases. My questioning of the Collection was in relation to the overall new line of software under the PlayStation Collection name, not specifically GoW. You two need to relax.
@PlatinumPaladin you dont need to buy it again, I've paid about $110 in total for God of War ($20 GoW PS2 version, $35 GoW3, $30 GoW Collection & $22 GoW Origins Collection), I love them so much I got platinum in all of them, but there's absolutely no need to buy them again.
My friend on the other hand just got a PS3 last year and wanted to get the God of War games but didn't have the money for them all. He was about to settle on getting 3 only but this came just in time as a savior for him. He'll only have to pay $10 more for the other 4 games in the series now.
The trophies won't be any different, its the same games being packaged into one box at a great price.
2 Like @PlatinumPaladinThis collection is obviously not for you if you already played them and still own them. If someone just got a PS3 and didn't have a PSP, then this is a very good value. They should be penalized because you already played them?
Trophies will not overlap, Sony confirmed that it will be the same.
@PlatinumPaladin I meant the opposite by overlap, lol. Let's say you started playing those game before, then you can continue to earn the trophies you started before. It's the same list, because it's the same games.
