According to our source at Gamestop, starting March 5, EB Games and GameStop stores nationwide will begin taking reservations for God of War III.
With the release of God of War: Chains of Olympus on PSP, SCEA has given Gamestop the go ahead to begin taking preorders for the much anticipated God of War III. For those of you who have picked up your copy of Chains of Olympus today, you may have noticed the God of War III "Coming Soon" advertisement on the back of the game's instruction manual.
As of right now all that is confirmed is that God of War III will support 1080p and have both SIXAXIS and rumble functionality.
Stay tuned to PSU for more information, as tomorrow we should get an update on price and estimated release date.
Update: Beginning today, Gamestop and EB Games are taking pre-orders for God of War III. As of now they have the title listed to release March 2009 and for $59.99. Since Gamestop receives their release dates from their distributors, our guess is that SCEA plans to have God of War III ready sometime around Spring to Summer of 2009.

Wow. I didn't expect to hear about God of War 3 so soon, it would be cool if it could come out late 2008, but I'm thinking it might come out Q1 2009.
I'm not pre-ordering my copy until a few months away from the God of War 3's actual release because I want to get a Special Edition of the game if there is going to be one and I want to be sure that I pre-order the Special Edition and not the regular edition.
The developers obviously jumped on God of War 3 immediately after they finished God of War 2. Sometimes I think it's good for a sequel to a game to be released at least 3 years after the previous installment because it seems to build more anticipation to me, but if God of War 3 is locked and loaded and is ready to go, then they might as well release it. God of War 3 is going to be anticipated regardless because the ending of God of War 2 would leave anybody pumped up for God of War 3.

Can't wait!! The gameplay was amazing in GOW2. Now I can't wait what the PS3 is going to give us with this game, especially in 1080p!!

This is my second favorite game, next to GTA. I am so hyped for this game, the story in these games are some of the best ive ever seen. God of War 2 probably had the greatest ending of all time, it gave me chills just watching the ending, I will be pre ordering this ASAP

Favorite game of all time. Too bad III is the end of the story.
I'd go ahead and pre-order it but I'll bet that there will be a nice special edition or a nice pre-order set.

"What? Why hasn't there been any GoW3 images leaked to the press yet? I honestly wouldn't expect a game of GoW's calibur to show up any sooner than early 2009."thats EXACTLY what the article said.....why do you have a "what?" and act like they said it is coming out this year???

Gaystop is fully of crap. Its more than a year a wait and their taking you lousy $5 from you already.. I dont know but for Sony to put on the back of the manual "Coming Soon" and the game is more and a year away is going overboard or a major over statement.. As always I just let time take its course and things play out by themselve cause I dont like to set myself up for dissappointment..
