Uncharted 2: Fortune Hunter Edition Is only $3,000 and 8 Days Late

In case you don’t really like video games and are reading this story by accident, Sony released the highly anticipated Uncharted 2: Among Thieves for the PS3 today. But why would you want to play it with just a crappy disc when you could wait another eight days and pay over $3,000 for a limited-edition set that just 199 other people will own. [Via Techeblog]

The Fortune Hunter edition was supposedly picked up at an “exclusive tournament.” According to the auction on eBay, it includes “a replica of the Phurba dagger with stand, an art book, a collector’s case autographed by Naughty Dog, and exclusive downloadable content.”

This brings back memories of exclusive games from the past that were so important at the time but mean less and less as years go by. We’re thinking of this special edition The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time gold cartridge, or more recently, the Legendary Edition of Halo 3, complete with a fake Master Chief helmet that you’ll never use.
