Im kinda surprised by the reaction of people about special press kits. This happens all the time, and they are all usually cooler then retail versions, even special editions.
The studio and their PR department have more creative freedom to produce such kits. SCEE is one of the best in making press kits, check out Until Dawn one:

He doesn't have one, he's trying to get it today. Also if you live in New York, it shouldn't be too hard to get your hands on a copy FYI.

MP beta with 3 maps = 10GB

5GB patch = half a beta? lol
The final game should have 8 maps, more modes, skins etc.
I guess they'll make it a separate download like MGO (inb4 region mismatch complaints).
Pretty much... though no weapon farming trophies
Ebay itself might be cancelling orders. It makes sense, stolen copies are stolen, but it doesn't subvert the fact that copies exist in the wild and people are playing it today

Now that is a wicked cool kit that reminds me of retail PC games (non collector's when all the extras were standard), back in the day.
Honestly if there isn't an NDA signed there aren't be much legal ramifications to breaking embargo.
The bigger problem however is keeping good relations to publishers in general if you decide to do so, which especially for small writers can be devastating.

that $47 copy that I fortunately preordered courtesy of GAF is expected to arrive between May2-May 6, is that part of this error?
After this fiasco with the stolen goods, I wouldn't expect any major retailer to ship an early copy.

There is no game...
T&C in the software agreement pretty much plug any loose holes.
Yeah, even retail copies will be hard to find in stores now. Stores prob will start selling early after reviews tho
When I used to live in Pakistan, we were lucky enough to get games a week or two before hand. Usually the sellers would price the titles at some absurd premium because they knew people wanted to buy ASAP-- for GTA V imagine 90-100 dollars.
I kind of wish ND would just lift the release date altogether, but it kind of screws the plans they have. Review embargo is probably close to launch, and no way are they going to hit the launch button before those hit.

whoa that's kind of crazy
You probably will get an email with the correct date soon or already have.
Umm, I don't remember this...
Yeah, anywhere between hundreds and a thousand is not enough reason to push a release date of a game the will sell millions

That sounds like a good excuse for online DRM/digital-only... it prevents robbery by revoking keys.Ebay itself might be cancelling orders. It makes sense, stolen copies are stolen, but it doesn't subvert the fact that copies exist in the wild and people are playing it today

I mean, no game ever in history, has ever been leaked or released early in some areas. :|

Don't tell this man how to freedom!
The only number that's ever been quoted (10,000) is highly suspect, because it was quoted in an interview with one of the ebay sellers, who told Eurogamer that "HM Revenue & Customs had seized 10,000 copies of the game over unpaid VAT" and that he was selling them on. Obviously we now know they were stolen, so who knows if that number has any basis in reality (probably not) Link.
How is it that some people have this type of logic?
"Seeing as Sony have already lost money to these thieves, they might as well just refund us all for UC4 as well."
And it's fantastic. It would've been a shame for a fantastic game to get overshadowed by another (I'm betting) fantastic game.
It seems like in this industry, it's not uncommon for only the hottest game at any given moment to get the spotlight...
Am I reading this correctly? Did you just get the game for free?

Plz keep these jackasses off Gaf

Oh great... one of the trophies is going to make tons of hyperbole BS posts about game length. You just watch.
It should show if the package was actually picked up or scanned into a facility. If it's just a label creation notification then it doesn't mean anything. Anyone can create a label online.

Out in the wild already? Would you say it's close to TLoU or more like the other three?
Fake edit:
Damn! Spoiled by quoting. But I'mma stay strong and not look up what they demand
who am I kidding
P.S.
Spoiler tag has absolutely nothing to do with Uncharted 4. I swear.
The stupid thing is that naughty dog has already confirmed it to be the longest uncharted game to date, but that still wont stop people from jumping to conclusions
about that speed run trophy
