With E3 coming up next week and promising to be packed with Uncharted 3 news, I thought it was a good opportunity to unveil the pre-order bonuses that will be available across PAL shortly and also give you some details about the European Special Edition. Last but not least, for those of you who are true Uncharted fans, read on for some details on the European Collector’s Edition: the Explorer Edition.

So first up, we have some multiplayer weapon mods, medal kickbacks and booster pre-order bonuses for which availability will vary between retailers across Europe. So, take a deep breath, here’s the lowdown:

‘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. How cool is that? Great for team building

Following Arne Meyer’s announcement and short teaser video earlier this week, I’m very excited to unveil the official trailer for UNCHARTED 3: Drake’s Deception.

This HD trailer is now available on PlayStation Store for you to download, so don’t waste any time – head to PSN now! But that’s not it… we also have a lot more UNCHARTED 3 content for you to download from the Store including a Drake Avatar, a Dynamic Theme and a Wallpaper.

On top of this, if you use the following PSN voucher code you will be able to download a ‘hidden’ Avatar and Static Theme. Here’s the voucher code for you to redeem both items (please note, this voucher will only work if you are a SCEE PSN user):

There is also an activity taking place in PlayStation Home: Head to the Theatre, watch the trailer in its entirety and you’ll be rewarded with an UNCHARTED 3 Home t-shirt!

That’s not all guys. To celebrate the UNCHARTED 3 announcement we have a limited price promotion on the expansion packs for UNCHARTED 2: Among Thieves. If you haven’t played UNCHARTED 2 online then you’re missing out on a lot of fun so this is your chance to get involved:

• Drake’s Fortune Multiplayer Pack: Now only €2.49
• Siege Expansion Pack: Now only €2.99
• PlayStation Heroes Skin Pack: Now only €2.49

Finally, alongside this promotion, now on PSN is the ‘Golden Weapons’ DLC item which was previously only available through the UNCHARTED 2: Among Thieves Collector’s Edition in Europe. You can purchase it for €0.99 and showcase it when playing online.

That’s it for now, folks! hope you like the trailer and all the PlayStation Store, Home and UNCHARTED 2 items on offer. You know what you need to do now, just head to PSN; it’s been completely taken over by UNCHARTED 3.

Have a great holiday season all!
