The Uncharted 3 Press Kit Scam

[Matt]

I am sorry if this sounds stupid but I believe sellers are scamming people for something that isn't even a press kit at all.

People have been selling this

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/UNCHARTED-3-SUPER-RARE-PRESS-KIT-LIMITED-EDITION-/271131775972?pt=UK_PC_Video_Games_Video_Games_JS&hash=item3f20b693e4

This IS NOT a press kit.. that is the Uncharted 3 Special Edition that came with a plastic outer slip case(but minus the slipcase) and just the promo disc which iv seen a number of sellers put together to "make up" and con people in believing that it is a press kit.

Another example of it.. - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/UNCHARTED-3-PRESS-KIT-RARE-/321041499015?pt=UK_PC_Video_Games_Video_Games_JS&hash=item4abf908387&nma=true&si=jgvUkmeGBmmzAdi3Pb3xyn9%2FV%2Bw%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

I could do it as well..

If im wrong and it is a press kit then wow.. pure wow..!

[sharif2323]

you are correct! there was never a proper press kit for U3.

I believe Italy had a press pack with those items along with a bag, a brown leather journal and other goodies.

[Matt]

Just seems weird that UK sellers have been selling it and its identical to the UK Special Edition.. trying to make extra cash out of something which doesn't even exist -.-

[vhal_x]

I think this has been covered a few times before on here. I think it was actually given out to people as a PK, with the promo disc included, but there always seems to be listings on ebay, so no doubt people have "made" them themselves aswell xx

[comaamen86]

the seller is a member on here, its neither here nor there to be honest, no one knows if this was the set given to the press, and people have self responsability to do their own research and decide if it is worth it

only stupid people, pay stupid money for stupid shit

the end.

[comaamen86]

and not a dig at the seller he has stuffs i would buy if i could afford, but it seems he does sometimes clamber stuff together and call it a press kit.

[gu8]

i swear i havent had a look at the ebay listing, im gonna take a stab at that geezer from spain, s-kull or whatever?????

if im right then wow, if im wrong then i look like a nob, and soz sk-ull or whatever, them press kits are shit, i know cos i got shagged buying a dead island "press kit". fkn pair of flip flops and a scratched stickerbook, brilliant

this is his best one

if this is the case, i have a fortune in my kitchen drawer

[NaughtyDogJames]

Thats legitimate. The case has the hitman barcode on the outside. Although I' peronsally describe it as more of a promo item as opposed to a PK. The Uncharted 3 was sent to the press (I've had it confirmed by a PK contact) but again most are just made by the sellers using a promo which go for about ?8-15 and the special edition about ?20-30 so it's much cheaper to make your own if you really want this for your collection.

[Matt]

I wasn't planning on buying it at the end of the day, i just thought it was fishy.. imho its not a press kit..

[gu8]

i want that hitman presskit!!!!!!

[NaughtyDogJames]

Well no but someone may want to buy it. We should all agree on a forum standard definition of a PK so as to avoid confusion

[comaamen86]

i beleive its is a promo item no doubt, but it still just a spoon, mind you my lighter just burnt through the last spoon i had, and i need new one now with the next 6 hours before i cold turkey

[Queen of Mudcrabs]

His Deus Ex press kit is probably fake too because the The Roots Of Deus Ex Human Revolution-book was a Gamestop limited edition item sold in Scandinavia. And the arm sleeve can be found in Eidos' online store for twelve bucks. http://www.eidosmontreal.com/store

Guys, i can also confirm this was the press kit send out to reviewers, but its easy to self fabricate. We cant really know for sure, but skull sells a lot of real press kit so i think we should just assume that he really got it as a press kit!

Also, a lot of times reviewers receive press kits that are just some promo stuff (that are available to buy, or pre order goodies etc), or stuff from collectors editions thrown together! This happen most for the press kits that come without media disc.

[Redmagster]

I like spoons!!!

If I buy the Spoon PK anyone care to swap it for a Mediamarkt stickerbook of GT5???

Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeese - I'll throw in a PES G1 steel.... SUPER RARE!! ;)

Yeah the Risen 2 one was just items from the CE like this. Like you say Skull sells alot of genuine PK so these probably are.

[Matt]

As a Uncharted Collector i wouldn't fork out a penny for it.

[comaamen86]

i will have you know i do not spam, every post is well thought out and a good read, because i said so

[Cosmic_Link]

Hands up if you think Coma just posts spam?
