PlayStation Blog Offering Up Fortune Hunter Edition
We recently gave away fifteen of the ultra-exclusive Uncharted 2: Among Thieves Fortune Hunter Editions. Only 200 of these gems were made, meaning those who were lucky enough to snag one has a lifelong bragging point on their hands.
If you didn’t manage to get your mitts on one, like the majority of us, the official PlayStation Blog is offering up one more for the taking. The journey won’t be easy, though.
Those who wish to enter need to venture into the new Uncharted 2 game space in PlayStation Home between 8:00 am PT on Thursday (today) and 12:00 pm PT on Friday (tomorrow). Once there, the challenge is to play the Mask Mayhem mini-game and obtain the highest score, thus dominating the leaderboard, by assembling Ganesh the quickest. Topping the list will net you the exclusive prize. The leaderboards have been wiped clean as of this morning, waiting for some dedicated fan to jump in and dominate. It is worth noting that you must be a U.S. resident at least 18 years of age to enter and win. You can find all the official rules here.
Included in the Fortune Hunter Edition is the game, a replica of the Phurba Dagger with stand, an art book autographed by the development team, a “ton of downloads” and the official strategy guide. Everything comes packaged together in a giant shell modeled after an aging book.
What is more interesting, and perhaps more newsworthy, is why the Fortune Hunter Edition is so sought after. The game is phenomenal and has garnered legions of fans. But in reality, this is why the giveaway is such a big deal. We saw them flying off eBay last week for $3000 a pop. Not that we condone selling such a rare treasure.
Anyone plan on entering the contest?
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
