Hello, how is everyone today? I hope you’re all okay. I just wanted to let you know that yesterday I spent a sizeable portion of the day struggling with the fact that I didn’t yet have my grubby little hands on a copy of Uncharted 3. I sat there, working at my computer, seething with rage that I wasn’t playing the latest in the Uncharted saga yet. It was threatening to consume my very being. So I nipped out and bought a copy. Problem solved.
But while I was planning my little excursion to buy the latest PlayStation 3 blockbuster, I spared a thought for all those of you who, for whatever reason, don’t yet have the game. So when I finally made it to the shop, I bought two. Now I’m going to give one away to one of you lucky little blighters. Because that’s how we roll here at TSA. Except Kris, he’s a right stingy old beggar *.
Let’s keep it nice and simple though, shall we? Why don’t you tell us about your most treasured possession in the comments below and at 17:00 GMT today, we’ll have a poke around the comments and pick the one we like best. The author of that comment will receive a copy of the game in the post just as soon as we can get their address from them and the postal service can find their house.
Our usual T&Cs apply, as ever, and our decision is final so no grumpy faces if you don’t win, okay? Oh, and have a read of our review, it took Alex about a month. And that’s just the sandy background.
* This is not actually true. Kris has, in the past, sent me cookies in the mail and given me awesome robot socks.
Update: Sorry folks, it took me ages to read through all of the entries! I’ve picked a winner now though, because of the sentiment and also the extra little attention to (peculiar) detail, hannes_truce is the winner of UC3. However, because I bought the games in Sainsbury’s, I also got two £25 PSN vouchers and stories from grimm and adamguest1985 resonated with me and with Uncharted 3 so I’ll send each of them a £25 code in their emails too.
Right, now bugger off and click some ads or something, I’m skint!

Not sure about mine, probably my old Downhill bike, now retired, but I can’t bring myself to sell it. its a 1997 world cup ‘Sintesi Bazooka’, all hand selected components.
I used to ride like it was a religion and I’ve bled and sweat all over that bike. We’ve spent countless hours at local disused quarries and woods, also spent a fair bit of time taking it in turns to carry each other home after many a crash! :) Lost a fair few races together, and spent hours on the drive shouting at each other whilst perfoming numerous repairs.
It was always my confidant when I needed to get away from everything.
So Yeah, I guess my prize possession my old bike… :D

My most treasured possession would be an old box containing a condom and an ABBA CD… It shall forever remind me of the time I lost my virginity. I’m a sentimental old boy…
Bilbo_bobbins
nice, did you not use protection then? And ABBA? Wow.
jammie_dodger
Of course I used protection… But storing a used condom would just be weird.
And what’s wrong with ABBA? The song ‘The Winner Takes it All’ had true meaning that night
DirtyHabit
Setimental!? Thats just plain weird!!!
jammie_dodger
I prefer the term sentimental…

Having sex with an ABBA CD doesn’t count.

Well I might aswell go for it.
My treasured possesion is actually my Smurf from when I was born. I still have it in a safe box, everytime I get it out, it reminds me of my childhood and the fun I used to have.

Mine is a bit odd but as an ornithologist mine is my collection of bird feathers I have found from around the world, sort of my own treasure hunt

My hearing. I genuinely cannot imagine life without it, the experiences, emotions and possibilities it enables for me every day are impossible to quantify.

My most treasured possession you say? Well, I’m going to have to say it’s my stuffed Panda. I’ve had it ever since I was a baby, and it’s been on my bed ever since. At 18 years old and in uni, I don’t even give a f*** when my flat mates see it and question me.
But that’s hardly something cool, so failing that I’ll say my WWII 100lb practice bomb, stands something like 3 to 4 feet high, and is generally awesome stood in the corner of my room.

That’s easy. Most treasured possession is my Life, wouldn’t be here today without it!

My most treasured possession is my SNES. It was my first game console when I was just a nipper. Me and my friends would spend hours in our afterschool club playing through Aladdin and Super Mario world. There were no memory cards then so we wrote down every code for each level and guarded it with our lives. I still have it now. It sits, motionless, on a shelf. But every time I turn it on it works like a dream, although I still have to do the customary blowing on the contacts. I’ll never get rid of it. I miss those days.
