Uncharted 3 collector’s editions have been fleshed out alot more lately, with details finally being announced.
In the US, there is only one Collector’s Edition, which includes:
- Exclusive Collector’s Edition Steelbook
- Wearable Replicas of Nathan Drake’s Buckle and Ring with Necklace Strap
- Nathan Drake statue by SlideShow Collectables
- Traveling Chest Packaging
In addition, preordering from each store also gives different Kickback bonuses:
Amazon.com – Carpet Bomb Kickback
Allows you to “send out three grenades with a single throw to blanket your opponent – or take out a group of opponents – with multiple explosions.”
Amazon.com – Clip Size Mod for Para 9 or G-MAL
Allows you to increase the size of the bullet clip for your weapon of choice and “spend more time shooting your opponents before having to reload.”GameStop – Creepy Crawler Kickback
Allows you to “turn into a swarm of deadly creatures for a limited time and overwhelm your enemies.”Wal-Mart – Callout Mod for AK-47
Allows you to “equip your AK-47 with a laser sight that enables your entire team to see the location of the opponent you are currently targeting.”All Other Participating Retailers – Uncharted 3 PSN Avatar & Static Theme for PS3
You should be able to understand this one without any explanation.– IGN
In Australia, UC3 will come in 2 flavours, which is the Collector’s Edition and the ‘Explorer’s Edition’. The Explorer’s Edition is bascially the US’ Collector’s Edition (at double the price -_-), while the Collector’s Edition is basically just a Steelbook. Both of them include further content:
- Multiplayer skin and weapon: ‘London Drake and Pirate AK-47′: Customise the appearance of both your avatar and your weapon.
- Multiplayer ‘Upper Cut Taunt’: Allows you to give an upper-cut gesture for increased self-expression and bragging rights when playing online.
- ‘Cash Multiplier’: Earn in-game cash much faster when playing online.
- ‘Special Edition Decals Pack’: Decals to customise your avatar’s accessories.
Anyway, I have the Explorer’s edition on order, so look forward to the unboxing come November.
