  • please please please CANADA!!!!

  • I second the Comment about the Canadian Psblog this is getting ridiculous.

    We are excluded from absolutely everything but we fork over our money to support the company.

    Really really ridiculous I freaking love Uncharted and Sony but this has got me really down. Uncharted was the only game I 100% cause it was so freaking good.

  • yay, more Uncharted2 this weekend n_n.

  • but i got the gamestop beta and under information it says it expires tomorrow

  • finally! i sooooo want this! thanks naughty dog!

  • i actually got to see these boxes because i work for a printing company and i asked the vendor if they where working on any video game boxes and they where he opened a box and there they where. they might have had 30 or so of these boxes for the LE of uncharted 2 kind cool.

  • I love NG…and I love Uncharted…shame I am not eligible to win though…

  • Why is it that when ever something good like this happens im out of town or sick, this time a nasty stomach virus. I swear you guys are watching and mocking me :/

  • this is my chance

  • In the future please consider the rest of the world for such contests; we like swag too!

  • I never win these things that are based on luck. Probably won’t win this either. :(

  • Already got one ^_____^

  • So hmmm i guess Canada is not in this promotion

  • I so want to win, but I know I will most likely not win. 30 out of what, at least 6,000?
    1/200 chance… :( I wish they were giving away more than 30.

  • Uncharted 2 is going to be such a huge step for the gaming industry. I will definitely be playing this every day for a chance to win this rare prize.

  • Hey,

    Yeah, so glad to be European right now…I’m a huge fan, a have a website, stats card, and yet, it won’t help me. So sad. :(

    Can’t you just give a few out to Europeans? You have fans out there, you know. :(

    Chris

  • I am sorry but this is ****ing retarded. How come Canada has no chance of getting prizes? This is just getting flipping ridiculous…

  • Thank you for making it so that more playing doesn’t mean more chances… I don’t have the kind of free time some of these folks do, lol.

    Anyway, good news… money’s been tight so hopefully I can win a copy.

  • I so badly want to win this. I’ve been looking forward to this for a while now. Hopefully I’m bold enough for fortune to favor me.

    PSN ID-re32hana

  • Awesome! Props for making it fair for everyone, guys.

    See y’all online; good luck everyone!

    …and don’t sell it on ebay if you win one, you greedy people, you.

  • Awesome, i’ll be playing all weekend :)

  • What about us international gamers? Will there be a chance for us to get this very coveted limited edition? :(

  • I’d rater just be able to buy it.

  • I am really disappointed that Canadians are not eligible. I hope that there will be a future contest where Canadians will be able to enter.

  • Dang, I’m from the US and I gotta say this is baloney about excluding Canada & Latin America after readin the comments on here. I wish Sony would address this somehow. Maybe hold a drawing on the blog for those people in the Americas who cannot participate in this sort of thing. Wasn’t it a PR person who made this blog post? Couldn’t they… hmmm.. I don’t know, do some PUBLIC RELATING? Come on, Sony.

  • Well, I feel bad for anybody that gets excluded from this. I’m sure it’s a legal thing and not personal. Alot of countries get bonuses, swag, and system bundles the US don’t get though. Like I beleave Europe is getting a hardware bundle. But to my Canadian friends I post this from the Bestbuy live chat with devs Neil Druckmann and Travis Mcintosh that went on last night:

    Guest-83: Will Canada ever get a chance to see the Fortune Hunter Edition?

    NeilD-Dev: Yes! Canada will be getting the Fortune Hunter Edition.

    So don’t sweat it guys, it seems they have something planned for you guys too.

  • Well, thanks for not making this stats based as I have been in all betas but have had limited time to play it. Plus I’m all ocd about replaying the 1st 1 for the platinum before playing this 1. I beat it long ago before trophy support. Well, thanks again Naughty Dog! You made a great game and you should be very proud. I’m a pretty diehard xbox360 gamer and PS3 gamer, a legit Veteran Gear, and I’ve been completely obcessed with anything Uncharted related. I say that not to start a fanboy thing as that not my intent. I like both systems and I think it’s a shame some people only play one or the other. My point I love my Gears and Halo but if I wasn’t so open minded I may have missed out on one of the best games ever! Uncharted1 is one of my fav games and i can’t wait! On that note I think it’s pretty awesome Naughty Dog shared technical knowledge between others studios like Infinity Ward, guerilla, and bungie in the making of Uncharted 2. Your effort and hard work to make the best game possible seem to have really paid off. Thanks again and good luck to all with this play&win Uncharted 2 Fortune Edition Contest.

  • NOOOOO! I live in Canada there is 0% change that I can get the limited edition NOOOO! Way to make me feal Bad Haughty Dog

  • I AM GOING TO WIN THIS.

  • It would be nice to win this…

  • See you guys online. If you win where do you go to pick it up and can you win if you are in canada?

  • Do I have to join a competitive game or a co-op game for it to count?

  • Canada gets the SHAFT again…. Why do i even HOPE! anymore! I’m really getting pissed off sony! I love your products but hate your non-canada-ness!

  • Good luck everybody!

    I want this so bad!

  • cool but the fact that the winners aren’t even announced until after the game is released is lame. i’m not putting off buying the game just to see if i won

  • Void outside the 50 United States and D.C. and where prohibited.

    Canada loves you too! :(
    Seriously, I’m tired of all this awesome stuff and us Canadians being jipped out of it. Theres 33 million of us, and we’d love to get in on this action too.

  • cool, i cant wait for the full game, see you online :D

  • My birthday’s monday.(hint-hint)

  • Yeah!!!! i wanna win xD

  • My PS3 is borked in currently being repaired in Texas. Any chance I can get an entry based on good will? O:-)

  • Please sign me up! Thanks :-)

  • So you just need to play one game for that day and you will be legible. Hmm, bad thing about this is that if you win, it’s already after U2 has already launched so if for some miracle that I win, I will end up with 2 copies. Hmm…

  • So i live here in Puerto Rico that is US territory…and I can’t participate? Why? This is unfair I’m a legal US resident.

  • Can Canadians participate?

  • WHAT NO CANADA??!!! :(

  • Since the demo won’t installed on my PS3. I will go out tomorrow and try to get UNCHARTED early.

  • So do I understand that you only need to log on once per day to be entered? Or does multiple matches help your odds?

  • hope there is another way. PoS PS3 broke on me and waiting for it to get back from repair shop.

  • I’m Canadian and though I am a little unreleased that us neighbors up north get the shaft once again, I already have the game pre-ordered and will be playing it soon. This just reminds me of how the Canadian and American PSN stores are so identical yet we get the shaft when it comes to video content :(
