New $50 Uncharted 2 Release Includes A Ton Of DLC
September 28, 2010
While DVDs have "Special Edition" levels of bonus content, it's become fashionable for video games that sell above and beyond the call of duty to enjoy a "Game of the Year" re-release at either a budget price or with all of the post-release downloadable content included. Now it's time for Naughty Dog's Sony PlayStation 3 hit Uncharted 2: Among Thieves to step back into the spotlight on October 12 in North America for a reappearance of the latter kind as Nathan Drake's acclaimed adventure becomes a "Game of the Year" edition for $50 with a bunch of DLC included with a special voucher. As the PlayStation Blog outlines, here's what that voucher redeems:
- PlayStation Heroes Skin Pack
- UNCHARTED: Drake’s Fortune Multiplayer Pack
- UNCHARTED 2 Siege Expansion Pack
- Currency Multiplier which grants Double XP up to level 10 in Multiplayer
- Golden Guns option for the AK-47 and the 92FS 9mm pistol for use in Multiplayer
- Early access to “Revenge” Booster – you still have to purchase it with in-game cash!
- UNCHARTED: Eye of Indra – Motion Comic Bundle (which includes Episodes 1-4)
- UNCHARTED: Eye of Indra – Rika Raja and Daniel Pinkerton Character Skins
- UNCHARTED 2: Among Thieves – Avatar Pack 1
- UNCHARTED 2: Among Thieves – Avatar Pack 2
- UNCHARTED Avatar Pack 3
- UNCHARTED Avatar Pack 4
- Pinball Heroes – UNCHARTED for the PSP
Not a bad haul if you haven't been tempted into buying Uncharted 2 before now and you plan to play a lot of the online multiplayer. If you're only interested in the single-player campaign then you might be better off with a used disc of the original version. I have a co-worker that really wants to play Uncharted 2, but since he doesn't have Internet access at home, the online multiplayer modes and DLC are useless to him. He's been waiting a long time for the price of the game to drop, new or used. Once this new version hits, I bet used prices for the older version will finally come down. Get 'em while they're discounted!
