This is good to know because Subway's in Philadelphia are acting clueless about the promotion.

flavorbabies4592d ago

Yeah most are. It took the manager 10 mins on the phone to figure out what the promotion was. smh.

DarkTower8054592d ago (Edited 4592d ago )

I called Subway corporate headquarters and was told it was up to the owner of the individual store to participate. I also called Sony to let them know, and the Sony reps had no clue about the promo either. Way to choose a partner and employees Sony.

gamingdroid4592d ago

In fact, I find it kind of an odd promotion. Is it somehow sponsored by Subway?

The way it is marketed it seems you want as many people to try the multi-player as much as possible. Yet, you are limiting it to Subway customers and only Subways that participate.

Since practically all (if not all) Subways are franchised, it severely crimps the marketing.

Is Subway somehow paying for the privilege I wonder?

DarkTower8054592d ago

@gamingdroid, good question. I'd like it if one of these journalists that put so much of their time into bf3 vs mw3 articles seriously question this whole promo and find out why Sony chose Subway our vice versa. Especially since the actual promoting of the promo seems so lackluster.

RememberThe3574592d ago (Edited 4592d ago )

DarkTower805: But that would take an actually journalist, and we all know there are none of those on N4G.
But if one does emerge I'd love to here about it too. It seem like a pretty stupid promotion if no one who is supposed to be promoting it knows about it.

nveenio4592d ago

I'm sure it's Subway that's sponsoring, but since the individual locations are privately owned, it's up to the owner/manager to know what promotions are available to them and whether or not they'd like to participate. If the owner doesn't know anything about Uncharted 3, then they'll likely overlook the opportunity as something that won't make enough money to be worth the expense (signage, etc.). And Sony doesn't work to promote it because that's Subway's job.

sack_boi4592d ago

Once again Europeans support Sony more than anyother region but yet they great treated like sh!t. Such a pity.

Virus2014587d ago

OMFG guys I entered the subway codes and I won the Collectors Editions of Uncharted 3. They told me to expect the game in 8 to 10 weeks.

WillGuitarGuy4592d ago

Same here. I called the Subway by my house and no one knew what was going on.

Treezy5044592d ago

Yeah I tried to get mine from several different locations today and a lot of them were like, "WTF you talking about." I finally got one and redeemed the code and I can't wait for Oct. 1st!!!

SCW19824592d ago

fantasygamer4592d ago

I wanna play the multiplayer.. but I'm afraid it might ruin the part of the story by showing which chatacters are good and which are evil, and in the story they switch, like Harry Flinn did.

flavorbabies4592d ago

I'm sure ND has taken spoilers into consideration. If you played the beta in June, all the villains were NPCs. I think NPC is the correct way to describe them, but the villains weren't of any importance or significance to the story

jefet214592d ago

where i live subway dont have this promotion this sucks when the game comes there will be alot of people in high levels

flavorbabies4592d ago

Not to worry. Our site is giving away 20 cups. read the full story to send yourself there!

lorianguy4592d ago

I would do ANYTHING to win your competition. I posted my guess. All I can do now is wait, i guess..

Mykky4592d ago

I attended too! I really hope this is my chance of getting one of those codes.

Shawn Layden Hammers Down The Importance Of Preserving Games

Former PlayStation US bigwig Shawn Layden has weighed in on the subject of video game preservation during a chat with Lan Parties, stating that more should be done by the big players in the industry to help preserve games.

Preservation is important. I’m hoping that more people in the industry, certainly the big players, begin to realize that there’s an obligation and responsibility. This isn’t throw-away stuff we’re making. This is stuff that should be around for a long time because future generations will enjoy it in the same way that we have and it’s criminal that we’re not doing more to protect it.

Sony in particular has come under attack for its poor attitude towards game preservation, having originally announced plans to shutter the PSP, PS Vita, and PS3 stores back in March 2021. This was met with widespread backlash, resulting in the format holder confirming the Vita and PS3 stores would remain open.

Bring him back! Or put Shuhei in charge

Obscure_Observer182d ago

"Bring him back! Or put Shuhei in charge"

I would rather have Jack as Playstation CEO and Shu as President/Head of Playstation Studios.

But Layden is definitely better than Ryan

Eonjay182d ago

Wouldn't your rather the government pass a law banning PlayStation and requiring all citizens to purchase 15 Xboxes and GP subs?

Obscure_Observer182d ago (Edited 181d ago )

@Eonjay

"Wouldn't your rather the government pass a law banning PlayStation and requiring all citizens to purchase 15 Xboxes and GP subs?"

No.

I don´t want Playstation to disappear. Actually, I want Playstation to be quite successful and maintain its leadership on the market so MS could´t never get back to their cocky ways and f* with Xbox gamers ever again.

If you read my comment history, You´ll be able to confirm by yourself that I´d been actually encouraging your PS pals hurt by MS latest acquisitions to boycott Xbox games and support Sony instead.

So I´ve been noticing that only Jin Sakai, jznrpg and Apocalypse Shadow will actually walk the talk and boycott MS unlike some hypocrites talking sh*t about monopoly and consolidation, while giving their money to MS anyway.

Botton line, though, without Playstation as competition, Xbox gamers are doomed! Period!

shinoff2183182d ago

Meanwhile Nintendo shuts down what 3ds, and wii. You hear that

Fking crickets

-Foxtrot182d ago

Well yeah, it’s Nintendo, people don’t mind when they do something shitty

DarXyde181d ago

It's not that they don't mind. People just know what to expect from Nintendo. They're ridiculous in many ways. Charging for a terrible counterintuitive online service? Cracking down in emulation when they don't do enough for their own game preservation? Charging a premium for the tech they've got?

People mind, but they are perhaps willing to treat their bad behavior with less weight because they do deliver with games. It's functionally an abusive relationship with good sex.

Bizarre analogy, but I think it's true.

ModsDoBetter182d ago (Edited 182d ago )

Whilst the compang does the bare minimum with backwards compatibility?

EvertonFC182d ago

Preservation of games isn't just BC, so many gamers don't actually know what the full meaning of preservation even means.

ModsDoBetter182d ago

That's true, but the main focus from a consumer standpoint is allowing gamers to continue to play their older titles.

Preserving the history through backwards compatibility and ease of access, which Sony don't do a great job at...YET.

The ps catalogue is continually expanded and love being able to play older titles I enjoyed on PS3 like Tekken 6, so at least they're moving in the right direction on that front, albeit very slowly.

Learn grammar is a bit rich coming from you who can't differentiate between your and you're. English clown 😂

Does this mean we can have a lot more "Playstation Classics"? I don't feel like we're getting enough for what was promised, at least they added a few games this month.

shinoff2183181d ago

True. I've been waiting for some of those old school rpgs from the ps1 ps2 Era, where f is legend of legaia Sony

FinalFantasyFanatic181d ago

Oh yes! Give me Legaia! I don't have my original PS1 copy any more (idk even know what happened to it). There's so many games I missed the first time around, I would love the opportunity to play them.

Yui_Suzumiya181d ago

The boom of Playstation Classics seems to have fizzled out last gen. Now it's mostly remakes or remasters.

MrBaskerville181d ago

Sony is in a position where they could do a lot, with their premium games. They have all the systems in place to do something cool on the psp, ps2 and psx front, but they don't really want to, it seems.

The Inconsistent Harmony: 5 Examples of Ludonarrative Dissonance in Video Games

VGChartz's Issa Maki: "I finally have a proper designation akin to what I've always referred to internally as 'the line that must be crossed' or 'The Line', for short – ludonarrative dissonance – the separation from a video game's story in relation to its gameplay. Why isn't PETA all up in Mario's grill for jumping on turtles and killing fish, or charging Samus Aran with the extinction of the Metroid species? Ever notice how fire has that habit of making bosses in Resident Evil stronger? Read on my friend, for I endeavor to imbue you with the ability to engage in basic queries concerning the concept."
