  • this game is awesome

  • About 200 Hunter’s Editions made and only 30 being given away like this? What happened to the other 170?

  • Great… so Canada is out yet again? -__- I love Sony, I love Naughty Dog and you KNOW I have your support (Getting the game on release!) but I was really hoping to try my luck at getting my hands on a copy of the Fortune Hunter’s Edition. Guess I’m playing the world’s tiniest violin. =P

  • oh darn… as much as i would love to win this, im not 18. sheesh. i hate it when this happens.

  • Awesome, I guess there will be no problems finding any games this weekend ^.^

  • CANADIANS PLEAE READ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Like I mentioned earlier in a post. According to Niel Druckmann on the Bestbuy live chat wit devs yesterday:

    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.

  • @ 156

    That’s good to hear. I’ll save any excitement til it’s actually announced though. Which will hopefully be very soon, considering the game releases on Tuesday.

  • Man this game looks awesome.

    One question for you professor playstation (yes i listen to PSNation) will you guys be doing a contest that will be available to us canadians living here in the north pole while we sit in our igloos and read the interwebs run by polar bears on a hamster wheel.lol

  • please please please please please i want to win one sooooooooo bad! i cant play tonight at midnight since i have school tomorrow but will def play the rest of the weekend, please i want one sooooooooo bad, and i dunno if ill be able to afford the game next week since it will be my mom’s birthday and she comes first, i want one so bad! that dagger is awesome…..

  • @ 156

    Thanks for posting! I just hope we get it or at least hear about it before the game comes out.

  • Why is it America only? I want it too. Oh well, Good luck guys:)

  • I’m slightly upset there is nothing for Canada. =/
    But good luck to everyone who tries!
    I can’t wait to get my hands on this game. =]

  • @156

    You have a source for this info?

    Otherwise I’m deleting the beta off my system. I really hope ND is above this kind of misdeed.

  • Hope I win. I got no cash. :(

  • i would like to buy the FHE but maybe now i should wait for the game of the year edition when all that content is included since i CAN’T buy FHE. maybe they are waiting for 1 million posts before they come out with the FHE for purchase. hopefully i get lucky this weekend guess i’ll try PS Home again 2

  • this is awesome! i’m hoping i get lucky and win one… i don’t have any money due to college payments and stuff. if i don’t win, i’ll still be getting the game but probably not till december or so :( haha

  • p.s. good luck everyone! 164, i hope you win also :)

  • Ya this reeks for people outside of the US. But then again, no one died (nor is anyone going to). It would be neat if this was available for purchase though. I would have definitely buy it.

  • Everyone bypasses the canadians, they think we are to busy making igloos and riding are polar bears to work and drinking maple syrup.

    They think we are too busy doing all those things so we dont have time for prizes ;(

  • Wow Naughty Dog,could you make this anymore harder than it already is to get one of these? Jeez,it’s like trying to find a Wii at Walmart in 2007=)

  • Screwed again because I live in Canada…

  • Not cool. Would be cool if I were 18. I just think it is stupid that you have to be 18. Looks like I will never even get the chance to get a fortune hunters edition. :(

  • ahhh!!
    I am downloading the demo right now. Why do I have to work tomorrow, so lame! I am so excited for this game =]

  • Game On

  • GTA4 was poor with shooting, so was splinter cell long time ago, killzone on the psp brought me into third person action again but after I clocked it there was nothing up until now, UNCHARTED2 beta trial has brought me back in for good, I love the shooting engine and cpu A.i, if it doesn’t remain a beta for a long time like playstationHOME, I shall be upset! Bottom line, GOOO NAUGHTY DOG, YOU ABSOLUTELY GONE AND BEAT ALL THE DEVS TO IT, now they sitting there like DIVS rather than devs! LOL

  • Good Luck to all!!

    Hope to win this!! :)

  • Most exciting and addictable game I’ve played in 9 years since N64 Mario titles!

  • Alright this is my mission on the weekend!!!

    Kuddos to naughty dog cant wait for the game to come out!!

    GAME ON!!

  • Don’t you guys think that it’s kind of stupid that you have to be at least 18 y.o. to win the contest of a game that is rated T for Teen?

  • US only this sucks :\

  • Still not about Dissidia being up on PSN, no one cares about this…

  • Great giveaway. I really want one of these. I hope I win! :D

  • Seriously….what kind of protection do legit players have against people spamming new alt accounts for an unfair crack at more entries?

    Do you folks have IP tracking or some other secret method of obtaining advanced player information?

    Please let me know some screwup isn’t going to ruin the interest of fair play, OR that I’ll be penalized for my girlfriend wanting an to submit an entry for herself on my PS3! She’s buying a slim in 2 weeks!

  • I would love to but my ps3 YLOD again 2 weeks after having you repair is from YLOD and I got a repair not a refurb. >.< grr

  • great… left for the weekend and just got to my computer to see that I won’t be able to participate for a couple days… :(

  • This questions me, i was reading the info bout winning the U2 FHE it says u have to be 18 or older (thank god i am lol) but further into winning the prize it says if a minor 17 yr or less i assume wins the drawings the U2 FHE goes to his/her’s parents??? makes no sense since they’re not the required age to win, yet if they win they still get it…..

  • lol since i’m over 18 i don’t think it’s stupid lol

  • Damn… I live barely 20 kilometers from the US border and I can’t participate. It’s kind of frustrating. I know that ND is packing the game with all sorts of extras and behind the scenes vids, and I love watching those, but I’d love a shot at winning the Fortune Hunter’s Edition. It’s just frustrating… I don’t blame ND, but I am ticked off… Sony.

  • @156

    I hope you’re right man! Canadian fans should not be given the shaft (like, seriously, where is the video store already, I thought it only does EVERYTHING?) I am really excited, and I will find a way to get a Fortune Hunter edition one way or another! Although I know the game will rock even without the bonuses. WE’RE ALMOST THERE, PEOPLE! =D

    I bought a PS3 when MGS4 came out, and I bought the MGS4 special Gun Metal Grey limited PS3 bundle. Now at first it took FOREVER for them to allow Canadians to order it, but eventually, they did. I was amazed that I was allowed to buy it XD I sure hope I can try to win a FHE! This is the most limited special game I’ve probably ever seen.

  • fortune hunter edition for Australia please?

  • good luck to all who enter!! i hope the servers are ready.

  • Good luck to all PS3 fans!!I hope the servers are ready.

  • Heck yeah I want it! I will be signing in as per usual. Been hooked on this since the beta this spring. Thanks Naughty Dog, I’m sure I probably won’t win, but hey thanks for doing this awesome contest. Love the have to play the demo to get in thing.

  • I also wish luck to all, 30 lucky players will be very happy, the game is awesome ;)

  • Sweet. Just in time. I just beat the single player (which is really cool).

  • Awesome, really stoked it’s random and not based on how long we play or anything like that. My job would screw me over on that one.

    Really love the fact that the Fortune Hunter Edition has everyone’s signatures on it, that’s what has got me really stoked.

  • I haven’t played the Uncharted series all the way through before. I plan to still purchase the first one, but I hope to win the UC2 premium edition.

  • AGAIN!
    exclusive to the US.
    yes ps3s have been released outside the US.
    WHEN WILL THIS END?

  • Why not in Europe ??? Whyyyyyyyyyy ???? ='(

    I want this Edition in France so bad !!!!
