Sony might release Uncharted 3 a few days early

I don't know if anybody else remembers, but Sony gave Gamestop permission to break the street date and sell the previous Uncharted games early... the Friday before the Tuesday they were slated to come out, if I recall correctly. (They did the same for Lair, incedentally.)

Anyway, just FYI... you may get to play Uncharted 3 this Halloween. Here's hoping Sony continues the trend of early releases!

(And as an aside, how amazing would it be if ALL games came out on Friday instead of yucky old Tuesday?)

I'm not saying you're a liar (I'd totally love the chance to play Uncharted 3 early while I'm passing out Halloween candy to the kids), but do you have any proof saying that Sony gave Gamestop permission to sell Uncharted 3 early?

I know they did this for Uncharted 1, but I don't recall this from Among Thieves at all. Either way, I already have my Drake's Deception copy :D

So you'd actually enjoy sitting down to play the game while your doorbell constantly rings? You'd be pausing and unpausing the game so often your head would spin. That sounds terrible :P

Husband's actually going to set up his projector outside and hook up the PS 3 to the projector so I can game outside while he passes out the candy to the kids. :-)

Oh god I hope so.. I go back to school on the 30th so I will be away from the town I preordered my Collector's Edition in. I'm on my Reading Week right now so I am at home until the 30th and relying on my *cringe* parents, to pick it and the preorder bonus up.

i dont understand why developers pack the october season. some of these games need to come out during the summer dry season. with all these awesome games coming out in or around october, there isnt simply enough cash or time to pick up every game on your wish list

I should have received my game in the mail by now. Went to AMC showing so if the game gets released before I get it then lets just say Sony is in big trouble.

They wait till the end of the year to get that holiday money. If dope games came out in the summer, they would all be old news by the holiday season and stocked ine the 'used games' section. Kids and hardcore gamers vurn through new games at lightning speed nowadays and developers know their games will be on many wishlists. By Christmas, you'll be ale to get Uncharted 3 used for about $40. Imagined if it came out summer and you tried to sell it back used, you'll be lucky to get $10 back.

Calling Sony out about your copy being late won't result in anything but you being mad and frustrated with their "customer service". They will claim to understand your frustration, but in reality the illegal alien you talk to won't even know WTF you're talking about. Hope you get your copy, it sucks to pay full price for something and you only get half the product, or maybe none of the product in this case.

I recently sent in a second e-mail that was more direct this time and they got back to me the following morning and apologized for the mix up. They asked for my shipping address and said it should arrive on Monday. Sweet.

I acknowledged that if it wasn't in their records, that I wanted the difference in the amount I paid between the general admission ticket and the premium ticket which is the amount of $35. I didn't care whose fault it was but if Sony didn't get back to me they were still gonna be in trouble.

Here is the actual e-mail (of which I should of did a better job editing, heh):

Ben,

Allow me to apologize for ther mix up. If you provide your shipping address, I will send out a copy of the game to you on Monday (or today, if I receive the info from you soon enough)

Thanks.

Dear Sony,

I recently sent an e-mail concerning the early Uncharted 3 copies that were suppose to be sent out to those that purchased a premium pass for the the AMC showings of Uncharted 3. I have not received my copy yet and if it is not in your records that I will be receiving a copy then I would demand that I receive the difference of $35 between a general admission ticket and the premium pass ticket. Should my demands not be met then I will proceed accordingly.

Got a text message from Gamestop saying "Your Uncharted 3 avail 12:01AM Tue..." I know I said I'd be going, but I think I'll just pick it up after work instead:/

i got mine on the 29th as well nearly completed it is good, i think the store i got it from released it on the 28th dont know if it was a mix up or because sony said they could but im in the uk and then went to game (gamestop) and they said they cant sell theirs yet. Oh well their loss of custom.

i'm still waiting for you to play multiplayer with me

I got a text message from Gamestop saying my copy of Uncharted 3 will be available Tuesday morning. I wish they were doing a midnight launch so I can just get it after work tonight but I can understand why they're not doing one since it's Halloween. I just didn't want to have to drive all the way back.
