This past Monday was the Uncharted 2 Multiplayer event that allowed players to play each multiplayer mode in 5 vs 5 teams on a new map that was not previously available in the multiplayer beta. The action was shown up on the big theater screen for all the people in the theater in spectator mode. 

The games were intense and one by one each team was taken out of the game until there were the last two winning teams left. The overall winning team won one of those Uncharted 2 Fortune Hunter editions (which cannot be bought in stores) of the game that contains thecontains the game, a replica of the Phurba Dagger artifact and stand, an art book and a collector's case autographed by Naughty Dog. One hundred players attended, yet only five people were crowned the winners. The Uncharted 2 event (that took place in four different major cities across the states) was held on Monday, October 5th for press and Playstation Blog users and Tuesday, October 6th for general admission, tickets were sold beforehand and were sold out before the day of the event.
