They were a prize for many different contests. From Killzone 3 beta contests, to graphic design competitions. There were 1000 made I think and they occasionally pop up on ebay.

Mike1888 has it right. Got mine off Ebay. looked in amazing condition when i saw the pics. just shipped HORRIBLY!
$90 buy it now price, I dont think the guy knew what he had lol. Last few I saw were around $250 by comparison..
not numbered unfortunately, would have made it even better

Only $90!? Oh my god. He sure didn't, many of these people winning the contests are completely unaware of video game collecting and severely underestimate the worth of what they've won. This was the case with me when I won my R* Key to liberty city, I lost it, thinking it was worthless! Now I see it going on ebay for over $80. The same situation arose with the UC2 fortune hunter, someone I know scored one for under $150.

But yeah, NICE pickup for only $90! I bid $150 in a recent auction but lost

[alk3civichater]

Wow I would kill to get that uncharted 2 fortune hunter for that price! sorry to hear bout losing that key hope you end up finding it one day! thanks though, yeah I keep an eye out on good deals, picked up the last MGS Peace Walker CE at my gamestop for 30 brand new lol

How do you recognize those versions (with the glowing eyes) when the box is sealed? Are the boxes similar to the regular Helghast Editions?

The box is totally different on the front cover they have the sniper instead of jumbo face of regular army dude and on top they have red splash logo.

I think it's only have 450 cut down from originally 1000 unit plan.

Yep it state in the back of the box that it contain LED replica helmet.
For the number I think I read it from the sweepstakes that I register (Didn't win tho) some say 1000 some say 450 but I go with later due to the number that it occasionally pop up on ebay
