Sony has added two more titles to its PS3 Greatest Hits, this time, the heavyweights and bestsellers Uncharted 2 and God of War 3. The Uncharted 2 version is the GOTY version, which includes lots of new content. Both games will retail for $30. The full list of new games added to the Greatest Hits lineup are:

• God of War III
• Heavy Rain
• ModNation Racers
• UFC Undisputed 2010
• Uncharted 2: Among Thieves

If you recently picked up God of War 3 this past March 16th and are looking to pull a few strings to get ahead, read on — The community has recently found a glitch in the game that will allow players to stock up on any in game weapon they want without earning them.

To get down on this glitch before Sony patches it, follow the below instructions courtesy of the Examiner:

1. Unlock Combat Arena by beating the story once and then clearing the Challenges of Olympus mode.
2. In the Combat Arena option screen, set Kratos’ Health to “Level 1″ and difficulty to “Titan.” Set up the Enemies option with creatures that can kill you quickly and start the battle.
3. In the Combat Arena, die five times in a row and the game will prompt you to switch to Easy mode. Select “No” to exit to the main menu.
4. You should hear two different music tracks playing over each other. Furthermore, the Maxed Out! trophy will be unlocked if you didn’t already have it. From the main menu, select “New Game” and the difficulty of your choice to activate the glitch.

Let us know how it went in the comments.

Sony’s God of War III has just been released to store shelves and to hype us up one more time before we all dive into the game they have released the above trailer.

The trailer is entitled Chaos and features the game’s main main Kratos looking all sorts of badass. But what are you waiting for? Go get the game!

It looks like God of War III‘s launch is shaping up to be massive — Reports have just surfaced that say pre-orders for the game have hit 485,000 this week. This beats out pre-order numbers for games such as Heavy Rain, Final Fantasy XIII and even Uncharted 2.

VGChartz estimates that the game could sell as much as 750,000 in North America in its first week but that remains to be seen. God of War III will be out on March 16th, 2010.

The PS3 is an awesome machine – it has arguably the best graphical capabilites of any console, free internet and some great games like Uncharted 2. If I had to pick the thing I like least about the PS3, however, is the damn install times times. It seems like just to play a game for the first time I have to wait a ridiculously long time.

Well, with the forthcoming launch of one of the console’s biggest titles, God of War III, SCE’s Christer Ericson has clarified via Twitter that the game will have no install times whatsoever. Pop in the disc and you’re good to go.

Those hoping that God of War III will see no delays before its March 16th release can now rest easy, some what. Thanks to Christer Ericson’s Twitter, who just so happens to be Director of Technology over at Sony Santa Monica, we now know that the game has gone gold and is entering the manufacturing stage.

Of course, some unforeseen error like the destruction of the manufacturing facility could give us a delay, but that’s doesn’t seem very likely.

Sony has announced that the highly anticipated God of War 3 will be released on March 16, and while they were at it, Sony revealed the final box art of the game, which you can see above (so you know exactly what to look for).

Sony, or rather, Amazon Europe, has revealed new PS3 bundles which will feature the highly anticipated Heavy Rain and God of War 3, each in their own bundles. The games will be shipped with a PS3 slim sporting a 250 GB harddrive. The new bundles were unveiled on Amazon Europe, and so far there is no indication that the bundles will find their way to North America.

The previously announced God of War collection, which includes HD versions of the previous two God of War games, has already been released in the US for PS3 owners, and now it appears that Europeans will get a chance to play the old games in HD as well. However, not as a standalone package, but rather, the Collection will only be available with a purchase of God of War 3 Ultimate Collection, when it’s released in 2010. Oh, and it’ll retail well above $100 in Euroland.

Excited about God of War 3? The newly announced Ultimate Edition of the game might excite you even more, if you’re willing to shed out $100 for it. The Ultimate Edition, pictured above, will include the game, a book, access to tons of DLC, a feature length retrospective on the series, a soundtrack of the entire trilogy, and a heavy metal soundtrack inspired by the game, all included in a stylish box.

If you pre-order the box, you’ll not only get to download a demo of the game, but you’ll also get a free copy of District 9 on Blu-ray. Now that’s a pre-order deal!
