In Greek mythology, Pandora's Box was a vessel, which, when first opened, unleashed all manner of evil and suffering on the world. Now, Sony has chosen the relic as the ideal packaging for its God of War III Ultimate Edition, the $99.99 deluxe edition of its upcoming PlayStation 3 exclusive action game.

The only thing left inside is hope…and swag.

Sony today announced the Ultimate Edition will arrive alongside the standard version of God of War III. In addition to the game and decorative Pandora's Box packaging, players of the Ultimate Edition will receive an art book and access to a wealth of downloadable content. Gamers will get a feature-length retrospective on the franchise, the trilogy soundtrack, and a selection of heavy metal tracks inspired by God of War.

The special package will also come with a pair of in-game bonuses: A new "Dominus" skin for Kratos and the Combat Arena environment that lets players take on seven challenges. Finally, preorders for the Pandora's Box package will come with a code to download the God of War III Electronic Entertainment Expo 2009 demo, the same bonus included in November's God of War Collection and December's Blu-ray edition of the hit film District 9.
