Naughty Dog Reveals The Last of Us Box Art, Pre-Order Bonuses

These are enticing pre-order bonuses. Good thing I planned on pre-ordering anyway. I'm a little disappointed by the inclusion of multiplayer, though. I think it's going to bring the game down overall. But maaaayyyybe I'll be eating my words in 6 month's time.

I agree with you, but then again, I think the focus on multiplayer may have been what ultimately brought the single player experience of Uncharted 3 down a notch. Still fun as hell, but nowhere near Uncharted 2, and they didn't even include all the awesome aspects of the beta in the finished product. It was a two-front letdown.

I was unaware of that. I watched some of the dev diaries, though, and it seemed like they were always referencing how "big" they wanted to to make their multiplayer. GR also posted something about how the devs wanted to compete with CoD in terms of multiplayer.

Either way, I'm sure The Last of Us will provide a fantastic and unique single player campaign. I have no doubts that it'll be different, fun, and beautifully made. Naughty Dog hasn't let me down since CTR.

Damn, I wish I wasn't broke, cause then I would run out and pre order this. I'm even more excited for this game. I agree with Jobin and Daniel, little wary about multiplayer, but we'll have to wait and see.

So there's a certain amount of cash 'floating' in pre-orders at any given time. That's an interesting way to handle the matter.

Also, this is some pretty fantastic cover art.

i've been an xbox guy for a long time. but sony finally has enough of a ps3 library for me to plan on purchasing one along with several games i've been meaning to buy for a few years...

so, super late on the reply and maybe not worth it but, the drakes fortune series, metal gear, gran turismo, god of war, and by your recommendation, resistance 3... for starters :)

...and off to Gamestop I'll be going when I get paid on Friday. I typically pay the full amount when I preorder something. That way, when the game is released I don't have to worry about if it's in the budget that week or not. I also rarely preorder. I only had two from last year, and The Last of Us, will be my first for next year.

There's only a few games I pre-order, too. I've only been let down a couple times, but I usually trade toward stuff so it doesn't kill my wallet too badly. The worst pre-order decision I've ever made, though, is without a doubt Operation: Raccoon City. I still dwell on it late at night.

Yeah, this looks like a day 1 purchase.
