Amazon and Gamestop offering God of War III pre-orders, claim March 2 release

Joystiq reports:

''We know that a vast majority of the gaming media consumers out there have a fairly negative outlook when it comes to pre-orders for popular titles (did anyone really have a hard time finding Halo 3 last September?), but that's not why we're writing about the recent pre-order listings on Amazon and Gamestop for the next (Barlog-less) installment in the well-received God of War franchise. What we find intriguing is the March 2 release date listed on both websites.''

I can see this being a mid month release, if so, there's goin to be some serious massacre before the end of Sony's fiscal year at t end of March 2009.

Killzone II - Febuary 19th

God of War - March 12th

FF 13 - March 26th

... 'ACKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!! It's going to be a frikgen blood bath!

Its BS. I seriously doubt sony can get GOW ready in time for March. If i see E3 footage though i will be a believer. I don't mind waiting till 2010 for a proper GOW sequel. Just make it the best of the 3. Kick a$$ story and end the series with a bang. I hope this will be the last one because i can definitely see the series going down hill

It won't be released in March, It would be mad to release it close to killzone, unless Killzone is released at the start of Feb.

I don't think we will see it to hoilday season 09

My bad and its not paranoia, its just getting really tiring coming on PS3 threads and then we have people making off-beat comments about the 360 and their games. Who cares???

I'm probably one of Sony's biggest fans and supporters, and when I'm on a PS3 thread I want to talk about the game or console in question. I don't wanna hear "Doom for the 360, or this game kills anything on the 360" who cares. How about talking about what God of War 3 might look like when it releases, what changes can be expected now that new hands will work on the game.

I've been on this site since right before the PS3 launched and I remember how it used to be with Mart, PoG and the rest of the 360 fanboys, but since the PS3 has been picking up steam its the exact opposite and it was fine at first but DAMN!, sh!t has really hit the fan, and you got people like AlexM, Nasim(with his multiple accounts) and several others who spam a good PS3 thread with their crap.

A fanboy is a fanboy no matter who they support, I hate every single last one of them. Its like they literally have no life except to want to push their own gaming beliefs on the next person, kind've like Jack Thompson does with his crusade.

Plus, even though I am not a huge MS fan I do appreciate their participation in the console war, cause if it wasn't for them we would still be paying $600 dollars for a PS3 (Which I did at launch), Sony would be charging us for online service and they wouldn't be in a rush trying to do whatever they can to win over some more PS3 fans, cause quite frankly the Wii is a whole different market.

So yeah thats my reason for that comment. The industry is a big part of my life and this new trend of being a Nazi for said console and developer is pretty sad, it never was this bad back in the sNES/ genesis days.

P.S. its okay to direct the response to "kornbeaner", thats my tag (for certain reasons) and it would be stupid of me to get angry if somebody used it against me.

this is the reason people start calling the PS3 delaystation, unofficial release dates made up by sellers are taken seriously and when developers announce their own release date its suddenly madness.

Wasn't a key member of the team that made the first two games who said they started work on the game some time ago yet won't release till late 2009 at the earliest? Anyways we'll know about it during E3 - I'll be shocked if Sony didn't have a teaser trailer ready for it by then.
