Uncharted 2 Betas expiring quicker than a fat man at a marathon [UPDATED]

[UPDATED] Wow. All I have to say is "wow."

Sony just updated the PS.b to say that to make up for the screw up today, they'll be increase the number of FHE prizes from 10 to 20 for Saturday and Sunday. They will still honor the Monday entrants with the normal 10. They effectively doubled your chance to win one for Saturday and Sunday, and are giving out 50 instead of 30 FHEs. They only made 200, so the other 150 are for this weekend, which brings me to my next point.

This weekend - Friday through Sunday - if you play the game online, you'll be entered into another chance to win the FHE. They're handing out 30 for the weekend. They will be randomly selecting names, so make sure you're playing! There is a mention of contest rules to follow, however, there is nothing on the blog post.

Read it all for yourself at the link below. I'm getting a 400 error on my Mac with "nginx" below it (seriously, all it says is "400 Bad Request" and "nginx"), but my PS3 has no problem pulling it up. Good luck.

PS.b - Uncharted 2 Demo Ended - More Chances to Win the Fortune Hunter Edition

Oh, and everything below is pretty much has a null-and-void stamp all over it, but it's an interesting read. I've hidden the original post past the break, so read at your own will.

Finally, details on how to win Uncharted 2's Fortune Hunter Edition: Play the demo!

Ok, so we already knew how to, but they didn't say when.

Effective tonight, err, tomorrow, whatever, at 12:01AM PST on October 10 and ending 11:59PM PST October 12 (that's 3:01AM start and 2:59PM end time for those who face my recent enemy, the UK), play the demo. According to the PlayStation.blog:

Log on and play the UNCHARTED 2 online Multiplayer Demo from Saturday, October 10, 2009 at 12:01 AM PST through Monday, October 12, 2009 at 11:59 PM PST. We will be giving away 10 Fortune Hunter Editions randomly (not based on stats) each day. That’s 30 total FHEs being given away over three days. Just launch the Demo, go to the online lobby, select the Matchmaking icon and join any open match. Once joining a match, you will be entered into the promotion for that day.

We’ll be randomly drawing 10 entrants each day. We’ll post winners’ PSN IDs on www.naughtydog.com and the PlayStation.Blog on October 19, 2009. We’ll also notify winners via the email address associated with each entrant’s PSN account between October 15, 2009 and October 30, 2009. Must be 18+ to be eligible. Full details and legalese below. Good luck this weekend!

That's it. Join any open match, and you're entered automatically. Be prepared - those who play the demo on occasion - to have a lot of people drop out once a match has started. Have fun. I know I will.
