Do it :rofl: It would be interesting to see if the midnight launch is even busy at all as well.

I'd like to get some impressions from the folks around here, most of you are usually quite level headed about opinions and us UKers don't get the game till the 16th :(

Naughty Dog pokes fun at next-gen graphics and games

This generation of games as one unique quality to it: a brownish tint. Naughty Dog games have a lot of lush color to them, so to make Uncharted 2: Among Thieves a ?true? next-generation title, you need to offer gamers the option to make the game look a little drab. Much like Uncharted: Drake?s Fortune, Uncharted 2 features a ?Next-Gen Filter?, which you can purchase with the in-game money. Unlike Drake's Fortune filter, this time around it's much more accurate and comical.

Much more defined this time around, Naughty Dog makes the next-gen filter make Uncharted 2 look like Gears of War or Metal Gear Solid 4 in color, which is pretty much one main color theme. The filter makes the game look brownish gold and takes away nearly all the color found in the game. When you turn the filter on, you are truly playing a ?next-gen? title. You have to love the humor of Naughty Dog.

I honestly probably will not go, I really am not feeling well at all, but I will go get it @ 10 AM tomorrow morning, and I have already arranged some playing time tomorrow during the day, so I will have some impressions tomorrow for sure.

And honestly, I am even surprised they are having it, as the kid when I pre-ordered it told me although they got a decent amount of pre-orders, and that that would be the deciding factor of what stores will be doing a midnight launch, how many pre-orders they did get. My Gamestop is less than a year old, and honestly whenever I go to it, which is not all that often, but when I do go it is dead, so I am really surprised they are doing one.

The message actually said show up at 10 to line up your copy so you can leave right at 12, and join us for "in store fun" or something along those lines, so can only imagine what that is.

Anyone from the UK that pre ordered from amazon? I just pre ordered it today because they where doing it for about ?35, once i pre ordered i noticed that the estimated delievery was the 19th so i freaked out and emailed them and the guy who replied said

We know that many of our customers are anxious to have their "Uncharted 2: Among Thieves (PS3)" delivered to them on the day of release, October 16, 2009.

Due to a technical error, the estimated date that is shown in "Your Account" for this item was incorrect, and our technical team is working on this issue.

I have checked your order #------------- and I am please to confirm that the item "Uncharted 2: Among Thieves (PS3)" will be dispatched in time for delivery on the release date. Rest be assured that your order will be delivered on the release date.

Just wondering has anyone who ordered from Amazon has there order been dispatched?

Awwww this would be the perfect time to tell Munky Uncharted 2 is now officially Gears of War 3 :rofl:

Cool, look forward to your impressions tomorrow!

Even if it were coming out here tomorrow in the UK I have too much to do this week until the weekend.

yes mine has been dispatched should arrive tommorrow via UPS

Edit:

read the post wrong i am ordering from the US site to a us address

Mine shipped too but it will take a few days until it gets here. :(

hopefully royal mail doesn't mess up and delay my shopto order again like they did for fifa10 :angry:

on another note, i actually handled 3150 copies of Uncharted 2 today at my temp job... so close yet so far :(

Will be leaving in 10 minutes to pick it up, have some work I need to do, then it is full game on. Will be back in about 7 hours give or take with my initial impressions.

I didnt take the chance, and paid the ?1.99 for UKMail next day delivery.

Will do the same with Forza 3.

I changed my delivery option on shopto to the new UKmail service for ?1.99. Just incase Royal Mail decide to mess it up. Even without the strikes they still quite easily mess deliveries up.

Edit: Phee, great minds think alike:laugh::

I've never wanted to be American so much! :rofl:

Early video game releases and plenty of easy fat chicks, what more could you want? :laugh:

In all seriousness though, It never has made sense to me why certain places get it at different times. I hate to say this since I am more often than not the one who benefits from it, but if it is a matter of shipping, then make it the day that everyone has it instead. Just seems to cause confusion more than anything else.

I wish that was the price for next day delivery here. I have to pay around $6 USD and for standard shipping. That's the bad thing about living on an island:(:(

    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know The ONLY thing I need to know is the price, which I know will be way higher than I (and most people) are willing to pay for a phone... so basically nothing here I need to know. PS: Nice job getting that Apple reference to a non-existent and unrevealed product as "competition" in there. Cheque is in the mail.
    • Well I really think the repasting helped if your higher clocks have returned, maybe the next thing to look at is if there is a problem with your case airflow? I guess this because your 3080 has returned to optimal state, but is still staying too warm, which might suggest it was thermal throttling before you repasted, of which the only logical conclusion could be outside factors.
    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know by Hamid Ganji Galaxy Z Fold 7 - Image via Samsung The next generation of Samsung foldables is set to be unveiled next month at the second Unpacked event of the year. Samsung’s 2026 foldables are not expected to offer significant upgrades over their predecessors, with the Korean firm instead focusing on design refinements and conventional upgrades such as faster processors and better cameras. However, Samsung is reportedly planning to unveil an all-new passport-style foldable this year to rival Apple’s first foldable iPhone, which is expected to debut this September. Here’s a roundup of everything we know about Samsung’s upcoming foldable devices ahead of their official debut. When can we expect Samsung’s new foldables? The Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 series were unveiled in July, and Samsung is expected to maintain this timeframe in 2026. Based on previous reports from Korean sources, Samsung will hold its Unpacked event on July 22 in London, UK, to pull back the curtain on the Galaxy Z Fold 8 series. The devices are also expected to hit the shelves a few weeks after launch. However, Samsung has yet to announce an official date. A new naming scheme? One of the most interesting changes we might see this year is a new naming scheme for Samsung’s latest foldables. SamMobile reported that since Samsung is expected to unveil three foldables this year, it has adopted a new naming strategy to simplify product identification for customers. Accordingly, the standard Galaxy Z Fold 8 will reportedly be called the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and will serve as the direct successor to last year’s Galaxy Z Fold 7. The “Ultra” suffix suggests the phone could feature higher-end specifications, such as additional rear camera modules. Samsung’s new passport-style foldable is expected to carry the Galaxy Z Fold 8 name without any suffix. This model is reportedly equipped with two rear cameras. No major changes are expected for the Flip model. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 anticipated specs Rumors over the past few months suggest Samsung is preparing several upgrades for its upcoming foldables, although the devices may continue to rely on larger batteries and faster charging speeds rather than dramatic design changes. The primary focus this year is expected to be the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and its wide-screen design. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here are the anticipated specifications for the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra based on previous leaks: 6.5-inch outer display and 8-inch inner display, 120Hz refresh rate, and 2,600 nits peak brightness Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, paired with 12GB or 16GB of RAM and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB of storage 4.1mm thickness when unfolded and a weight of 210g 200MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, 10MP or 12MP telephoto camera, 10MP cover camera, and 10MP selfie camera 5,000mAh battery with 45W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 As for the Galaxy Z Flip 8, the device is not expected to be a major departure from its predecessor, although it could become slightly slimmer. Expected specifications include: Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 or Exynos 2600 processor 12GB of RAM with 256GB and 512GB storage options 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X inner dispaly and 4.1-inch Super AMOLED outer dispaly 50MP main camera, 12MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera 4,300mAh battery with 25W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 Samsung’s foldables are also expected to launch with Gemini Intelligence, Google’s AI suite for automating tasks in Android ecosystem. Moreover, given current memory and component costs, some Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 variants could see a price hike. Galaxy Z Fold 8 adopts a wide-screen design The centerpiece of the upcoming Unpacked event could be the Galaxy Z Fold 8, previously rumored as the Galaxy Z Fold Wide. This model adopts a passport-style form factor and is expected to compete directly with Apple’s iPhone Fold. Galaxy Z Fold 8 official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here’s what to expect: 7.6-inch primary OLED display and 5.4-inch cover display, 120Hz refresh rate, 2,600 nits peak brightness, and 4:3 aspect ratio Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, 12GB or 16GB of RAM, and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB storage options 4,800mAh battery with 45W wired charging 50MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera Android 17 and One UI 9 The three new foldable phones are unlikely to be the only devices unveiled at Samsung’s Unpacked event. The company is also expected to introduce the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 and the Galaxy Watch 9 series.
