    Love the Drake’s Journal idea. I’m definitely getting that. Passing on the strategy guide, as I like figuring ou t things for myself however. Great idea with Drake’s Journal, cannot wait for that!

    i have one more question/comment what kind of skin packs will we be able to get and if you can why not get Cole McGrath from infamous, and use his hero karma for hero skin, and inFAMOUS karma with villians skin

    I refrained from watching Uncharted 3 videos, managed to not play the beta, and couldn’t participate in the Subway multiplayer (Canadian); but I will be all over the game tomorrow at 10AM sharp from my local Future Shop! Collector’s Edition (with SteelBook) here I come!

    Any idea whether the Hardcover one has Treasure Locations? If it does, then I’m definitely buying it.

    • Eric Monacelli

      Treasure locations are included, yes. But they given in a way so you can avoid them if you don’t want spoilers!

    @9 I really think so those strategy guides usually cover almost every aspect of the game.

  • jazzyrider
    October 31, 2011 at 3:33 pm PDT

    What are the prices for each? I’m thinking of picking up the collector’s edition since its hardback and comes with a CD!

    • Eric Monacelli
      October 31, 2011 at 5:59 pm PDT

      The collector’s edition has an MSRP of $29.99 US. You can pre-order Drake’s Journal for $19.96 so order fast because it goes back to it’s MSRP of $24.95 after that. The links are in the last paragraph in the blog post.

    preordered my CE strategy guide through amazon for a great deal. only thing that sucks is i can’t get it on the same day as the GOTY for 2011, Uncharted 3: Drakes Deception!

    the CE strat guide itself will be a valuable treasure to add to my collection!

  • Capshot18

    @11-Jazzyrider
    On Amazon, for America, for the Preorder, Hardcover is 18 and paperback is 12.
    After the preorder, I think hardcover is 30 and paperback is 20.

    full online game mp does not have everything! no subway stuff, no negative boosters , and plenty of stuff missing including clown masks. they can be found in lan though, why is it that?

    Uncharted 3 is awesome, I finished the game yesterday. Got it early because of AMC event in LA. Now I am planning on playing it in 3D mode.

    Game is spectacular, graphics are superb. Fire, Sand, Water pure magic.

    Can’t wait to explore the Multiplayer and new DLC.

    I’m working the midnight release of Uncharted 3 at my Best Buy, but here’s the kicker:

    I’m going dressed as Drake.

    I’m hoping to unbox my own copy of the collector’s edition I pre-ordered so I can wear the ring/belt buckle. I may not have the physique that Nate does, but a valiant effort will be had; half-tuck FTW!

    I will be goin to the midnight release at Best Buy in Fairfax, Virginia

    Naughty Dog please add more outfits, gloves, shirts, shoes, etc. to buy, I wanna earn a million online and spend all that money on extra stuff

    Going to the midnight release! How much is that Special Edition book? I bought it for God of War 3 and want to for Uncharted 3, but depends on the price, GOW3 CE book was 30$.

    Nice! going to gamestop tonight to pick up my copy with my exclusive perk! Sucks though that I didn’t pre order the collectors edition, but I still will love Uncharted 3

    this might be a super nub question but what is a online pass

    • Eric Monacelli
      October 31, 2011 at 6:08 pm PDT

      Online pass is the same as PSN pass. You’ll get the voucher code in your retail copy of Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception.

    will there be a book released along the lines of “The Art Of Uncharted 3” as there was with Uncharted 2??

  • wocyob
    October 31, 2011 at 6:04 pm PDT

    Im bummed out since I wasnt able to get into NYC today (darn snow that killed the trains in NJ to NY) for the midnight launch at the Sony store even though I already have the game preordered at game stop. I really wanted to get that exclusive DLC!

  • Shinra_Soilder
    October 31, 2011 at 6:08 pm PDT

    Nice. I might consider getting the CE strategy guide if only to get that CD. I just love the music of Uncharted. I will most likely get Drake’s Journal since I already got the Forth Labyrinth the week it was released.
    Question: Any speculation on when the soundtrack for Uncharted 3 will be released?

  • D-Squad3
    October 31, 2011 at 6:19 pm PDT

    Can you please tell me why that cover for Drake’s Journal isn’t the cover for Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception? It looks so much better and stays in the same feel of the Uncharted 1 and 2 Box Art. I really hope the cover for Uncharted 3 will have a reversable cover.

  • D-Squad3
    October 31, 2011 at 6:19 pm PDT

    Also, that CD should’ve came with the Uncharted 3 Collector’s Edition, I’d rather have the soundtracks on a CD than a belt buckle.

  • GameOver1994

    Can’t wait to get my Uncharted 3:Collector’s Edition copy tonight! :D
    So stoked!!! Thank you, Naughty Dog! I can’t wait to see all the extra content you didn’t add to the Subway Promo(to prevent spoilers of the whole MP.), Its going to be awesome!

    P.S.-Happy Halloween! :P

  • angelspawn77
    October 31, 2011 at 7:06 pm PDT

    Thanks for the reply and oh man, I want it so bad, 100$ on the CE for Uncharted 3, then next week 80$ on the MGS HD Collection CE. That is so much money, but that guide is so awesome. I’ll think about it, hopefully its available after launch and they don’t go fast. I’ll buy it next week for sure if they don’t sell out.

  • Motherboop

    Just finalized my pre-order at GameStop, and picked up the Collectors Edition guide while I was at it! Can’t take it with me until midnight though :( Just 1 hr 40 min until it’s game time, and I’m off work for 3 days to knock it out!

  • race2winnet
    October 31, 2011 at 7:44 pm PDT

    So frustrated that my local Game Stop decided NOT to do a midnight release! The reason? They feared for their safety being open at midnight on Halloween! Seriously.

  • xBuTcHeRx

    Why does Elena look like a cross-dressing Legolas in U3? Did she visit a butcher of a cosmetic surgeon since U2?

  • eilegz
    October 31, 2011 at 10:18 pm PDT

    as much as i like uncharted 3, the current subway beta, i think that the addition of online pass its a step back from uncharted 2….

    The fact that the game now its cripple to only work for 5 devices tied to my psn account seems a very big limitation for me and it brings a detrimental experience of what sony offered to its customers…

  • yesimasian2

    can’t wait to get my hands on the guide … one of my favorite guides ever is Piggyback’s MGS4 … no one does it better … also, anyone else agree that Piggyback has absolutely one the most clever logos out there?

  • pandacastro

    Piggyback quite possibly makes the best guides ever. I really hope that as time passes they begin to replace BradyGames guides. The difference in quality is rather significant.
