Unboxing videos are – well, they're kinda goofy. Honestly, they're a rather banal activity almost entirely confined to geeky pursuits like videogame collector's editions and new gadgets – when's the last time you saw a cooking website unboxing a new set of pans? – and yet, videotaping the contents of a package somehow seem as popular as ever. If you're bored with watching publication editors and developers opening up their fancy boxes, though, Naughty Dog have kind of raised the unboxing bar, as it were.
After the jump, check out Nolan North – the voice of Nathan Drake – unboxing the "Uncharted 3" collector's edition.
Finally, you can not only sport a ring necklace like Drake, but also wear his big belt buckle. It's entirely possible that many of you have long-searched for a way to truly capture the fashion magic known as the "half-tuck," but your prayers have at last been answered. Thank you, merciful videogame clothiers.
The first-ever Naughty Dog collector's edition comes housed in a little traveler's chest, including a magnetized door. Inside – beyond the necklace and belt buckle – you'll find a few other surprises. Namely, there's the Showtime Collectibles Nathan Drake statue. This will allow you a reference point for accurately sporting your previously mentioned belt buckle, as you tie a conveniently handy tablecloth around your neck to imitate Drake's big ol' scarf.
Next, you'll find your copy of "Uncharted 3" held within the confines of a fancy-looking Steelbook case. The inside of said case also contains some exclusive artwork, featuring Drake blasting away at some bad guys. Those metal cases are actually really nice, and Steelbook always does a great job on them.
If Mr. North has sufficiently charmed you with his charisma, the "Uncharted 3" collector's edition is available right now for pre-order. 100 bucks on November 1 is the only thing standing between you and dressing like Drake at the mall (hair gel not included).
