Hang on, Nathan Drake! Uncharted 2: Among Thieves is almost here, with Sony confirming to us today that the Naughty Dog developed PlayStation 3 game will arrive in the U.S. on October 13th. Start planning your sick days/pre-orders accordingly.

Sony also released Uncharted 2's final box art, reminding us of Mr. Drake's expert ability to hang from ledges and platforms with just one hand. Combine that with his expertise at maintaining a shirt that's half-tucked, half-not and you'll see why the stubbly treasure hunter's adventures warranted a sequel.

Oh, and speaking of pre-orders, Sony laid out its retailer plans for a quartet of downloadable exclusives with Amazon.com, GameStop, Game Crazy and BestBuy. Golden guns, right after this.



Yes, those are the golden Barettas that Drake can wield in multiplayer, adding a bit of flash to your online death match and "Plunder" competition. They're exclusive to BestBuy, meaning that if you're into sporting golden AK-47s, that should be your pre-order retailer of choice.



Other retailers are getting downloadable exclusive bonuses too, should your preference for weapons be a little more understated.

Here's how it works out elsewhere.

* Amazon.com - Exclusive UNCHARTED 2 Treasure Map.
The exclusive UNCHARTED 2 Treasure Map allows players to discover all the hidden treasures throughout the game.
* Game Crazy - Exclusive Currency Multiplier for multiplayer online use.
The UNCHARTED 2 Currency Multiplier allows gamers to gain in-game currency and unlock bonuses faster than their opponents for a limited period.
* GameStop - Exclusive first access to the Multiplayer Demo and the downloadable Revenge Attribute
The Revenge Attribute is one of the last boosters that you can unlock in the multiplayer campaign. This bonus allows you to unlock the "Revenge" booster right from the start of your multiplayer campaign.

That GameStop exclusive access to the multiplayer demo will run from September 9th to September 29th, giving folks who pre-order at that location a two week head start on the demo. It will open to the public on September 30th and wrap-up on Uncharted 2's release day.

Also, if you really like to plan ahead, these downloads will be available to those who pre-order until December 31, 2009. So don't sit on that downloadable gold assault rifle, kids. Grab it day one, if you can.

I'll probably go for that Amazon preorder. The Golden Guns one looks pretty neat, but I'm not sure how much I'll be into the multiplayer aspect, what with Modern Warfare 2 coming out a few weeks later!

That's pretty cool how each retailer has something unique to offer, though as always, GS's seems a bit lopsided with the 2 week headstart AND a bonus unlock.

I'm torn on which I'll get, as this is one of the few games I think I'll bother preordering.

Very excited. Will likely go with amazon.  No tax, free shipping and they usually knock a few bucks off retail price even at lunch.  Plus the map is kind of a nice physical bonus.  A lot of the others are just electronic bonuses which you can eventually unlock on your own anyways.

A bump to a semi old thread.

For those who are going to preorder Uncharted 2, which preorder bonus are you goign to get?

Here are the offers:

  • Amazon.com will feature an exclusive treasure map which will allow you to see hidden treasures throughout the game.
  • Game Crazy will reward you with an exclusive currency multiplier for multiplayer online use, basically it allows players to gain currency in the game and unlock bonuses faster for a limited time against opponents.
  • GameStop will have exclusive first access to the multiplayer demo and you will be able to gain the revenge attribute (which is one of the last multiplayer upgrades you can get) from the start of the multiplayer campaign. GameStop's multiplayer demo will start September 9th and run until September 29th, it will open to the public on September 30th and will close on the release date.
  • Giftold weapons [from Best Buy] will be available for use in multiplayer mode, and will allow you to wield some fashion sense during the death match and plunder modes.

I was going to go with Amazon, because I was under the impression it was going to be a physical "Hold in your hand" map which would be a nice souvenir/token, but I just foudn out, it's actually just a video that you get a code for and download to your PS3.

Gold weapons are just fluff for me.  The currency multiplier isn't all that exciting.  The early multiplayer demo is nice, but I doubt any multiplayer progress you do will carry over when the full game is released and it's not really somethign extra, it's just something early.

I loved Uncharted 1 and this game by far is my most anticipated one in awhile, but I have to say I'm a bit disappointed by the preorder bonuses.  They just keep getting lousier and lousier it seems.  I may stil go with Amazon just because it's $3.50 off retail, and tax free, so a ~$8-$9 savings.

I know I want this title so I dug for this thread to find the preorder bonuses again, and I'm disappointed to hear the map isn't physical.  That was definitely going to be my choice. 

I still might get that one though if it's a tad cheaper, and I'm sure the map will help.  On UC1 I found them all the hard way; no guides!

This may have been mentioned in another thread, but if it hasn't:

The video treasure map that came as a preorder bonus for preordering Uncharted 2 from Amazon was a complete disaster piece of crap.  Of 100 treasures of the game, it only is a map showign you the location of SIX. the first six in the game.

Anyways, if you preordered and got this crappy bonus item, if you write to Amazon and complain, they have been acknowledging that the item was crappy and are giving $5 gift certificates to those who ask.
