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:(:(

    • It's interesting to hear that AI growth is not investor driven.
    • A few weeks ago, I had this same exact issue. Unfortunately, I didn't think of disabling the Secure Boot option in BIOS. I updated my BIOS to the latest version for my MB and it resolved the issue.
    • I have a partial answer, when I used a multi-port usb hub I had degraded speed performance with 3 large external hard drives connected. I managed to snag a nice (yet older) USB3 based wavelink docking station cheap / used that has x6 usb 3 ports and almost doubled the speed of the external hard drives transfer rate. This looks to be a slightly upgraded model -https://ebay.io/m/LZtjTy
    • Microsoft faces shareholder lawsuit over masking AI costs and slowing Azure growth by Karthik Mudaliar Microsoft is facing a class action lawsuit from shareholders who allege that the company intentionally overhyped its artificial intelligence initiatives to distract from slowing cloud revenue and an exploding infrastructure bill. The complaint was filed in a Seattle federal court by the Michigan-based City of St. Clair Shores Police and Fire Retirement System. The plaintiffs argue that Microsoft’s leadership painted an overly optimistic picture of its Copilot rollout and complex OpenAI partnership. They say that the company did this while downplaying the harsh reality that building the data centers required to power these next-generation tools requires a huge amount of capital. Back at the company's Q2 2026 earnings report from late January, Microsoft revealed that its flagship Azure cloud growth had slipped to 39% (down from 40% the prior quarter) and guided investors to expect a further deceleration to 37% or 38% for the first three months of 2026. Now, under normal circumstances, a slight percentage point drop in cloud growth is a minor operational hiccup. But the Redmond giant paired that guidance with $37.5 billion in quarterly capital expenditures. This figure, which is a 66% year-over-year surge, blew past any analyst estimates at that time. Much of this amount went into buying high-priced GPUs and custom silicon that were required to train and run large language models. This is why the market reacted violently and just a day after its earnings call on January 29, the company's stock plummeted 10%, and wiped out $357 billion of capital in just a trading session. Microsoft is doing better now, though. Its Q3 2026 results showed its run rate from its AI business was hitting $37 billion, proving that enterprise demand for its infrastructure is very real and continuing to scale. Microsoft isn't the only company pouring billions into infrastructure for the AI boom. We've seen most Big Tech companies, including Amazon and Google, also get the results of these investments with stronger-than-ever growth and increased income. via Reuters
