Fresh out of the Spike Sneak Peeks PAX panel comes a very special announcement from Naughty Dog’s Creative Director Amy Hennig — the UNCHARTED 2: Among Thieves Fortune Hunter Edition!
Included in this special package is the game, exact in-game replica of the Phurba Dagger Artifact and stand, Collectible Art Book and Collector case autographed by Naughty Dog, plus a host of downloads.
And part of what makes the Fortune Hunter Edition a real fan collectible is that you can’t buy it — you can only win it! There will be several ways to win including right here on the Blog. Stay tuned as we’ll have more details on that in the very near future!
When the chance arises I will enter the competition however, like many others I believe this to be a unwise business move considering the hype and demand for the game.
“You like this knife? Its a good knife!”
i hope one of the downloads include a Dynamic Theme for Uncharted 2, actually i am sure that one of the downloads is a Dynamic Theme for the game! (if by some force of nature i don’t win, i hope the downloads become available on PSN sometime after)
i would love to win this!! i guess i’ll be trying to win this in Home somehow since back in the beta i certainly wasn’t the best player, and i assume that’s how you’ll win this in the multiplayer demo. i can’t wait for Uncharted 2.. i’m dying to find some treasure and unlock some trophies. Uncharted was my first Platinum.
i want the collection edition. uncharted is my favoryte game

Sony is definitely going in the right direction with this idea, apart from something like this with giving away special edition to chosen individuals, I think it would be awesome for there to be more rewards than just Trophy support in Games, I like trophies but for some reason I don’t truly feel satisfied I think that Sony should make it mandatory for their first party IP to have an in game reward system for the users that choose to play and defeat a game on the hardest level, when that gamer does that they will receive an in-game reward that can carry over to maybe the second version of the same title of even across borders to a completely different IP but let their two different IP worlds intertwine. for example: GOD of War 1 and 2, if you defeat both of these games on Hard and you have your saves you will have Platinum and Gold Blades of Chaos or Athena, through-out the entire Game God Of War 3, Kratos will be able to Rip the Blade from the Chain and throw it like a boomerang. Another example: Killzone MEETS Resistance.
Can you picture Helgast and chimera meeting to Destroy Humans as a final Battle on a really large scale, but they are not only fighting against Humans they are also fighting against themselves. And sometimes you get to watch an epic boss battle between the Chimera and Helgast and if you choose you can attack anyone of them based on which one you want to weaken the most so the other could get the edge, the player will decide which one he will assist based on INTEL, the player is trying to assist the lesser of two evils based on the INTEL that he receives but it could be bogus information so he has to make a strategic move that can give humans the edge, but whatever decision you make it will change the story, an FPS doing something like that would be amazing. also if you defeated any of those IP’s in Hard you can receive special or different weapons that would never become a DLC and your friends would always ask, how did you get that Gun, why is gold. Etc…
I don’t think any of these ideas are new, I know allot of Gamers who simply defeat the campaign in regular and never defeat it in hard, this would give an IP more strength if Gamers felt that it would benefit a future game, but I honestly think that this would be more rewarding.
So you can’t buy this? That sucks harder than a Dyson Vacuum Cleaner! I really wanted a collectors edition for this game. So basically Europe gets one they can buy and North America doesn’t? It’s almost enough to make me cancel my preorder. Remember I said almost.
i’m looking forward to this
noooooooooooo Only for US??? :(
Give one to Kotaku and Podcast Beyond, BEYOND to let us win them there too.
Alright already! just tell us how to win it on thw Blog! you’re killing us!!!
You can’t buy this? Once again, Sony marketing completely FAILS. Complete letdown…
My Birthday is September 12, maybe sony can give me this Limited special edition out-of-pity, I have the worst luck I never win anything, the only way I get anything is to work hard for it, I will definitely take this one a a pitty gift, I know when to swallow my pride.
Yeah this stinks of FAIL because just about every single Uncharted fan would have bought this without thinking twice about it.
“Kitty got wet.” I never win these things.
I MUST OWN THIS!
Blog – For USA?
HOME – Where is the mighty space of Uncharted on EU Home?
Multiplayer demo – The guy with more level/poins win..
Yes i work 12hours per day!
Tha’s Not Really Cool!
Please say its also for Europeans to compete?!
me 2 ,hope i get a chance,i never win a thing and been with Sony forever
That is a great news,i’m from Malaysia and i hope i can participate in this content.Well i just want to try my luck on this.:)
I REALLY want this!!! I doubt I will get close to winning it, but I will still try! I can’t wait for this game to come out!
For US only,oh well bad luck i guess.I won’t hesitate to dig out some $$$ to buy this CE though.I bet when this on Ebay or anywhere else it would cost around 500$-100$ zzzz
i hope they announce how to win sometime this weekend cuz i return college on the 8th and will miss out on the contest if i am in class! (but i haven’t gotten a chance to test my theory yet, but i will soon, VERY soon)
i just spent most of my morning leaving comments and such (probably more than anyone else, here).i doubt they will give one away for leaving the most comments, but you never know…
Asad-
What is the breakdown on how many games you can win in each area because if there is only 1 from the beta then i might as well pre-order from best buy.
Also how do you win on each area.
Lame x ∞. You guys could have been making a lot of money off of these.
I’m going to give a shot. I want this Limited Edition.
Just remember that are many Uncharted fans outside the US. When I see some of those promotions, they normaly are for “US residents only” and that does not include me.
Gosh, no buying option. Oh well, can I win if I live in Canada?
Making these things U.S. , it’s not like U.S. is the center of the world.
So the game will be released with the “classic” cover? Awesome, hopefully those new covers will never get released.
Yeah I have to agree that I already PO and I would have bought it, but I’ll try to win one anyway. Very cool Fortune Hunter’s Edition.
Comoooon guysss why just in the US??? I freakin LOOOOVEEE UNCHARTED this is the one game I was willing to pay for the collectors edition and now I don’t even have a chance to win it because I live in Canada?
Anyways great game! Oh and I have some suggestions for the online multiplayer since you guys are only doing online multiplayer competitive modes WITH RESPAWN!!! how about you try to add a mode with NO respawns that would be awsome! 5 vs 5 each round when everyone dies or when the objective is complete or when the timer runs out you restart the round and everyone comes back to life and NOT the moment you die you come back to like like 5 seconds after. No you would have to wait until the round is over to respawn. ( it would be awsome if everyone knew how to coordinate and had a mike) like in socom for example or Counter Strike (source) on the PC. I’m sure you guys know what i’m talking about.
I really feel it would be an awsome idea for this game BUT you would have to construct a custom map for it if I were you I would do like a sort of hostages map you know, no respawns and one team has some hostages in a somewhat closed area and at the other side of the map you have the other team who has to rescue the hostages. If you ever played cs i’m talking about a map like cs_office that would be great.
Also if you try this idea don’t make this map like open world where you can easily get flanked by everywhere! a team needs to know where to put a guy to not get flanked. A guy needs to be able to get to a spot and cover that spot and not be able to get flanked so easily. lets say 3 go on the right and 2 on the left and then they each cover there side and not a map wehre even if the people are scatered there are still 341 places where the enemy can sneek up from. For example in cs on the office map you can chose to go in the office direction or the garage direction. ( in a map like de_dust2 you go A or B ( or middle). but there arn’t many places where you can sneak up beecause the defending team should be able to have one guy in each closed passage.

The only two things I want, yet Gamestop gets a stupid unlock day-one multiplayer feat that can be unlocked after ranking up a bit.
Hoorah for SCEA screwing over Gamers that want Art-Book/OSTs instead of overpriced crap. :|
Awesome, but doubt ill win
I’m glad this is availible through contests. A collectors edition you buy isn’t much of a collectors item because they don’t seem to limit the amount made. This seems like something that will actually make the person who gets it feel special (please don’t sell it on ebay, give real fans the chance to win!) since their friends can’t just go out to the store and pick up their own copy.
This is awesome! Will be all over this when it kicks off!
Uncharted is looking to be a great game. Any word on which of the downloads will be included with this edition?
Oh my God !! This is so Awesome !! I can´t wait, i love Uncharted: Drakes Fortune <3
Do you guys ever consider doing something for the European PS users? It would be nice for the EU users to do something too seeing that most of the contests etc are usually just for the US users.
if i don’t win then i will feel disappointed but if i do win, at least i know i am just one of 200 people with their own copy of the Limited (emphasis on the Limited) Edition!
Rules Please!
Hey Asad,
Looking at your reply on comment #34, does that only mean the 50 U.S. states or U.S. territories can also participate? Kind of disappointing if U.S. territories, Europe, and Canada are left out in the cold in one of your awesome giveaways again.
I would love to win it, don’t think I ever will though. Never had luck winning anything before. Sucks. But I’ll still get the game
Hopefully the way to win on home is true! Sadly I cant pre-order this title. Moneys going to be very tight for awhile.
No they do nothing for us. Europe bought the majority of copies of Uncharted: DF, but we still don’t get an awesome collectors edition.
Whatever.
