Can’t make it to E3? Find treasure in our Uncharted 2 Online Hunt!

118 0

Good Sunday evening to you!

As you’re reading this, your PlayStation.Blog team is currently neck deep in tamales at our E3 Meet-up. As attendees showed up, we not only invited the first 100 into our press conference, we also presented the first 200 with an Uncharted 2 Nathan Drake-style long-sleeve shirt, perfect for a half-tuck. While I’m sure we’re having a lot of fun (we’ll report back soon, with pics), we don’t want those of you who couldn’t make it to feel left out.

While we were planning this meetup, we decided to “over order” the schwag: extra Uncharted 2 beta codes, extra shirts, and of course, extra schwag bags. Whoops!

Here’s how we’re going to give them out to you, our dear readers:

Uncharted 2 Media Event Screen

On Friday (9am Pacific), we’re going to ask a question about Uncharted 2. Be one of the first 300 to answer it, and you win. Simple!

Actually, it’s not *that* simple – because that question isn’t really easy. So here’s what you’re going to want to do to have a chance: This Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday at 9am we’ll be asking some easier-to-solve Uncharted questions via our Twitter account (you’re following us, right?), which will help you piece together that final answer.

More details below.

Contest Instructions:

  • Four clues will be given on the PlayStation Twitter from June 2 – 5 at 9 am PST.
  • The answers to the first three clues will contain the letters that make up the final word answer (kind of like the Jumble in the newspaper). We’ll use an asterisk (*) to indicate which letters will be in the final answer.
  • On Friday, June 5th at 9 am PST, we’ll ask the final question on the Blog/Twitter, the answer to which will be made of the letters you’ve collected up to that point. We’ll also provide the link to where you can submit your answer.
  • The first 300 qualifying people to submit the correct answer will receive an Uncharted 2 Beta Code… and the E3 Uncharted 2 Schwag Bag.

Giveaway Terms and Conditions:

  • Must be a US resident to participate, age 13 years or more.
  • Participants will not be told where to submit their answers until Friday, June 5th at 9:00 am PST.
  • Participants have the weekend (Friday, June 5 at 9:00 am PST – Monday, June 9 at 12:00 am PST) to submit the correct answer.

I know it’s not quite the same as being at E3, but between this and our coverage this week, you should be able to enjoy the week’s festivities without having to deal with LAX (this is a good thing).

  • This sounds awesome. I’d love to get a beta code for uncharted 2. Going to try to be one of those 300 that submit the correct answer. I loved the first uncharted.

  • Poopookakabumbum

    Is the question going to be:

    “Why is pointless multi-player included in U2?”

  • hey i am sixteen but i dont live in us but the only thing i want is the code, can i stil participate?

  • I’m so gettin my schwag.

  • Cool I’m in, I would love an uncharted Schwag bag!

  • is there gonna be any home support for E3 or anything?

  • Why can’t I post any comments on the blog? Everytime I post a comment it never shows up. It used to show up often and then it started showing up maybe an hour or longer after I post it but now it doesn’t show up at all. Is my account banned from commenting here? Is it a glitch with the blog (but other people seem to have no problems)? If you see this message then at least give me an answer as a private message in the playstation forums so I can know what the problem is.

    (Just ignore this post if it gets through though I doubt it will).

  • NJz-Greatest-420

    sm sooooooooooooo loving this right now you guys from the ps blog are the BEST

  • Just curious, but is there a way to buy this so called “schwag” online? I already have a beta code, but I do like that shirt.

  • Poopookakabumbum

    @41 Good news for Canada?

    Yeah right. This blog is proof that Sony doesn’t give a flying frig about Canada, considering we are perpetually shut out of EVERY contest.

    What a load of rubbish.

  • I was just there and was lucky enough to get into E3! Jeff is super down to earth, good guy. THANKS FOR SIGNING MY UNCHARTED SHIRT! And the tamales were really good. See you at E3!

  • I know this is not the place for this but I just want to commend Sony PR for doing a great job of promoting inFAMOUS.

    I’ve seen plenty of commercials for this game.

    Keep it up!!!

    P.S.

    I Can’t wait for E3. I’m expecting some huge announcements from Sony.

  • Why does this need to happen during my work hours! Looks like I will miss the opportunity. Good luck to all…

  • Sounds great guys!. Cant wait for E3.

  • :-) Beta, Schwag, E3, Jeff knows what Kaze’ likes to hear lol. To bad this doesn’t come with a PSP3000, anxious to upgrade my 1001.

  • new map pack for COD:WAW June 19!!

    (not completely sure but i read it somewhere)

  • Instead of putting me through all this hard work, where can I buy myself a Schwag?

  • Well I just made a twitter account and I plan on tryin to win, but I don’t have high hopes. These sort of things usually don’t drift my way.

  • wha no canada? pfff…. well i “stole” my code from the infamous i rented haha so im happy :) to bad tho i know a friend of mine would lvoe one :D

  • Again with this Twitter crap? Everyone needs to stop doing stuff on Twitter these days, it’s annoying and not everyone wants to use it.

  • Hey Jeff!! Great event you had today.
    Who won the SOCOM Fireteam Bravo 3 tourny? and what was the prize(s) anyway?

    Looking forward to getting the beta code!

  • Sigh. Another obnoxious game involving a social networking site.

    For pete’s sake, just sale Uncharted shirts in actual stores. I’d be more than willing to pay $30 for one.

    *sigh*

  • Great! But I’ll be in school at that time… :(

  • a while back i guess you guys passed out some e3 passes to some G.A.P. members via email, and i was wondering how do you guys pick them by location? cus i live in sac and i would run,bike,swim(trialthalon, lol) drive hitchhike, or even fly to get to la, wich is bout 5 hours drive ( the way i drive sometimes XD) will you guys do this next year? also i’ve been a G.A.P member since like 2002 T_T

  • why is everything exclusive to the US?
    havent we in australia paid for our ps3’s and games?
    we pay way way more and get way way less thats perfectly fair.

  • skype for ps3!!
    remote play for my phone… via java
    user videos/music in home. upload photos to home space… plz

  • Must be a US resident? Why does Sony even release a console in Canada? We’d be better if you released nothing here in the first place. [DELETED] YOU SONY AND THE PLAYSTATIONBLOG! I’m so damn sick of the lack of support for Canada. We are the ONLY country in the world that speaks the same language natively as you, we share the largest border you’ve ever had, and we are [DELETED] bigger than every piece of land you’ve ever owned combined! Show some [DELETED] respect and stop excluding us!

  • just wanted to note how dissapointed in sony i am.
    theve got enough $$$ to invite every one who turned up to that thingy to E3 but refuse to fix there stuff up with my console.
    back in febuary i took my ps3 in under warranty because the blu-ray drive stoped working AND the internet was dead slow and every 10 minutes i was getting signed out of the PSN.
    so 6 weeks later they send it back to me saying EVERYTHING IS FIXED than 1 week later the internet stuff ups happen again and they refuse to fix it because its out of warranty.
    so its my fault you dident fix something you should of in the first place is it?
    dissapointed sorry sony but youve lost 1 sale for infamous uncharted 2 GOW3 heavy rain, to think i spend thousands of $$$ on your crap per year and this is how you treat me?
    fine GOOD RIDENCE!

  • Living on South America sucks sometimes :/

  • That blog post about Drake’s half-tuck was funny :)

  • almighty-slayer

    Give some to Charlotte on the EU blog. Please :(

  • I don’t twitter? Wish there was another way.
    Hey “jeff” can you put about 50 pics or so as I’ve never been to E3.
    Oh oh, just saying the words Uncharted 2 is making me drool :)

  • freakin pathetic, i’m surprised that Canadians aren’t running an older version of the ps3 firmware or an older version of HOME, Sh!@ better change soon SONY. or i’ll take my money elsewhere

  • thank god y’all doin this on twitter and not friggin facebook

  • awsome :)

  • Can we get a Canadian PS Blog already?

  • Awww, No Canada in this contest “eh” Jeff? I thought we Canadians/Americans were like this *crosses fingers*?

  • I know it has been said many times but really guys you can’t send a swag bag across the border? You have tons of Canadian fans who visit this blog and very rarely give Canadians any prize chances (or love of any sort).

    Jeff you should really look into this and maybe make a Canadian only contest? You can list my address as a Sony office if you need to get around legal issues. =-)

    Think about all the great gaming companies in Canada? EA Montreal, Ubisoft, Bioware and many many others…show us the love SCEA!

  • You guys rock! My wife’s birthday is Thursday and she loves Uncharted, so if I can get one of these for her, I know she’ll love it. I’m taking her to San Diego for her birthday though, so I really hope I don’t forget.

  • awesome i hope i can win the code and guess the right answer.

  • already got my Uncharted 2 code (thanks Qore), good luck to the rest of you.

  • i love puzzles and trivia but i don’t have time since i’m working. :-(

  • well i already have 2 beta codes so i really need is the shirt…I WANT THAT DANG SHIRT!!!! i loved uncharted 1

  • 9 am? bah… i definately wont make it unless the question is actually hard and the 300 codes last more than an hour

  • yeah…im probably late with the comment…..i cant wait!

  • Solid-Snake-Eyes

    I’m Canadian, left out again huh…

  • I second the motion that not dealing with LAX is a very good thing. I would rather go to the grumps at JFK over the absolute aholes at LAX any day of the week. I don’t understand what their deal is. Must be too much sun or something.

  • Ohh please please team up with Apple for the Music store. Please! That would hurt Microsoft’s chances with teaming up with Last FM~~~!!!

  • Thanks for neglecting Canada yet again. Haha. Three cheers for never being eligible to win.
