Uncharted 3 is definitely one of the most anticipated games of 2011 and even though it’s still 5 months away, that’s not stopping Sony and Naughty Dog from showing all the nifty special editions and preorder bonuses they’re prepared to offer with it.
We’ll start with the preorder bonuses, and holy crap is there a lot of them. No word yet on which retailers will be getting which bonuses but that info should be clarified in the near future.
Callout Mod for AK-47 – Equip your AK-47 with a laser sight that enables your entire team to see the location of the opponent you are currently targeting.
Clip Size Mod for Para-9 – Increase the size of the bullet clip for your Para-9 pistol and spend more time shooting your opponents before having to reload.
Clip Size Mod for G-MAL – Increase the size of the bullet clip for your G-MAL long gun and spend more time shooting your opponents before having to reload.
Creepy Crawler Kickback – Turn into a swarm of deadly creatures for a limited time and overwhelm your enemies.
Carpet Bomb Kickback – Send out three grenades with a single throw to blanket your opponent – or take out a group of opponents – with multiple explosions.
Regeneration Booster – Boost your healing power to recover from your wounds more quickly.
Next up is the ‘European Special Edition’ of Uncharted 3 (pictured below) that comes with a different look and another pile of goodies. While the design of the box is not yet final, it’s being created to “look like Nathan Drake’s diary with fully illustrated pages, including concept art, screenshots, sketches etc.”
Now, on to that pile of goodies we mentioned above. The special edition comes with a voucher that allows you download all of the following:
Multiplayer skin and weapon: ‘London Drake and Pirate AK-47′ – Customise the appearance of both your avatar and your weapon.
Multiplayer ‘Upper Cut Taunt’ – Allows you to give an upper-cut gesture for increased self-expression and bragging rights when playing online.
‘Cash Multiplier’ – Earn in-game cash much faster when playing online.
‘Special Edition Decals Pack’ – Decals to customise your avatar’s accessories.
Finally, there’s the ‘European Collector’s Edition’ (also called the ‘Explorer Edition’) of Uncharted 3, which is proving to be the most content-packed version. While the final count of everything that will come with the collector’s edition is still not finalised, we know for sure that it’s coming with all the preorder bonuses listed above, the special edition of Uncharted 3, a Nathan Drake figurine, a replica Nathan Drake belt buckle and ring-necklace, as well as a “antic style replica traveller box with a real authentic feel to it.” Not only that, but according to Sony, there may even be more stuff added to this edition of the game before launch.
So, now that you’ve seen everything that Naughty Dog has to offer with Uncharted 3, which edition will you be picking up?

That swarmer bonus thingy sounds like it gives the sp away a little bit. Sounds to me like there’s going to be swarms of deadly creatures to fight in the sp. Wouldn’t be too surprising as there was freaky supernatural weirdness in both the originals.

There’s a picture of the traveller box on the US blog.
I can’t imagine that the EU version would be too different.
