BTW, anyone own the Geek Fuel Uncharted ring and can comment on quality?

The geek fuel one is exactly the same as the one in U3 CE. At least it looks and feels the same to me.

Do you have all the rings? If so can you compare the geek fuel/U3 ring with the pax 2007 ring and the #/1000 ring?

Looks like they took the U3 CE and stuck it in a fancy box...I guess it's a nicer presentation. The rings seem totally different PAX to CE/GF, be interested to hear a detailed comparison from anyone who has both ?

Yes I have all of them. The one sold in gear store (the #/1000 one) is definitely the best in every aspect - the box, the quality, and the material of the ring.

The geek fuel/U3 CE one is also pretty good, it has a nicer box than the PAX one, and the ring itself looks and feels better than the PAX one.

Tbh I don't like the PAX one. It's bulky and the box isn't custom made. Gary from Sony (who was in charge of making it) said the box was "off the shelf", in my understanding, they bought the box in stores and put the ring it in. The only thing great about the PAX ring is that it's pretty rare and limited.

Here are pics of all of them. I sold the gear store ring I opened and kept a sealed one, and I don't want to open it, so I can't put them side by side and take pics.

Edit: First pic is the gear store one, second is the geek fuel one, and the third pic is the PAX 2007 one.

Would you mind updating with a note as to which is which? I'm assuming
the 2nd pic is geek fuel (which has the same ring as U3 CE) and the 3rd picture is PAX - so what is the first one?

edit, having re-read I assume the first picture is the gear store (1 of 1000) - so sorry to ask a stupid question, but what's the story behind the rings?

geek fuel I assume is the U3 CE in a box, so what's the difference between the gear and PAX?

Awesome update with the comparison. Thank you 0329liuken!

I remember the UC3 CE ring had a very cheap feel to it. I even thought it was plastic Maybe I was mistaken. Does anybody know if the PAX ring is also made in China like the rest of the lot.

BTW, I'm still looking for the PAX ring.
