Quantcast


Reserve Uncharted 2, get gold guns, a map, or more currency  photo

GameStop isn’t the only place in your town -- provided that it’s bustling or has less than three pawn shops -- where you can nab a nifty pre-order item for Uncharted 2: Among Thieves. Kotaku recently compiled quite the impressive list of different retailer offerings; most are good, but one seems just ... odd.

As we previously reported, GameStop’s bonus is a downloadable code for the “Revenge” multiplayer attribute -- one of the last attributes fickle players will have to earn through normal play. GameCrazy is offering a “Currency Multiplier.” Unlike the “Revenge attribute, this bad boy is a limited sort of thing that will boost earnings in multiplayer for a period of time. The reserve bonus through Amazon is a “Treasure Map,” which should help those looking for hidden objects scattered throughout. And lastly (and the most odd) is Best Buy’s offering: gold guns.

Hey, Naughty Dog. EA Montreal just called. They want their Army of Two gimmick back.

According to Kotaku, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves is dropping on October 13th. That should give you plenty of time to reason out which pre-order bonus is the best for you. If it’s any help, Salem and Rio told us earlier this morning that they are “100 percent behind the bling-bling guns.” They fist-bumped to punctuate the endorsement.

What's really funny is that Game Stop gave me a voucher with a code to get the "Revenge" attribute already. They gave it to me by accident when I was pre-ordering Infamous. Maybe I should pre-order Uncharted 2 from another location and get a second bonus.

Seriously looking forward to Uncharted 2. Probably won't pre-order though, a lot of games to buy in October!

The treasure map sounds nice considering it was a bitch finding all the treasure in the first game.

I am so sick with these reserve/pre-order gifts from gamestop, they never have the codes anyway, last game I pre-ordered because they promised bonus shit was UFC Undisputed, I didnt get the extra fighters they promised.. This really has to stop.. Now they promise maps? Fuck gamestop and anyone who promotes this shit

I think its bullshit that they are offering in game shit. What ever happened to the cool rewards, like the action figures or the books or the stickers even.

And if this keeps up, how long is it going to be before you start seeing shit like "Pre-order this game at gamestop and get a code to unlock the final level in the game."

Its almost worse that on the game dlc. CAPCOM!

It's a damn shame that they're turning one of the best single-player experiences of the past few years into some sort of Gears multiplayer wannabe.

I've always gotten my bonuses from Gamestop, especially if I ordered online, but the one time they didn't send me anything was when I was supposed to get a yellow messenger bag along with my copy of Mirror's Edge. My solution? Call up their customer service and complain. They shipped one out to me right away, no charge.

If you just sit around and complain about not getting a preorder bonus, you won't get it. Gamestop should fulfill these bonuses naturally, but sometimes they screw up. If you don't call them up and try to get the bonus, (which customer service supposedly always make right, based on similar stories from friends) then you have no right to complain about not getting the bonus.

Going for the Bling baby, all the others are things you can get elsewhere or take a bit extra time.

Yeah you have to be a Necromaser and RAISE SOME HELL! Or dead people...ya know.

I never got the pre-order for Resident Evil 4 and told me they were "out" I was all "How can you be out when you know how many people are pre-ordering the game"? "The whole point of pre-ordering something is to get the free shit, GIMME MAH FREE SHIT"

They had to get a cd brought in from out of town to please me, best worst videogame music cd EVARR.
