Uncharted 3 Taste For Adventure Program Review October 6, 2011

The Subway stores in my area have finally started to support the Taste for Adventure program, and last night I picked up a special 30oz soda with the intention to use it to play Uncharted 3 a month early.

According to Subway’s official webpage, anyone who purchases a specially marked 30oz soda, sub, or bag of sun chips will receive a unique code (which may be in the form of an attached peel off sticker) that you can register on Subway’s official website or official mobile site. The site will ask you for your email, then ask for your unique code.

From there, you can choose what you would like to download. The site will give you a few options to download.  These range from special Playstation Home downloadable goods, a theme, special multiplayer skins, and of course the Uncharted 3 multiplayer client.

Interesting to note that the first code I registered on the site, which was from the sticker that was attached to my drink, did not have the option to download the multiplayer client, and I had to choose a different item to download. When I registered the code attached to my special 30oz drink, however, I could redeem the code for the multiplayer client. The reason I’m pointing this out is because if you absolutely want the multiplayer client, you may need a code stamped on a drink cup to have that option.

The site said it was going to email me the download codes I unlocked but a day after I registered those codes I still haven’t gotten emailed them, so make sure when you do register your code to redeem it immediately or you might lose it if you click away from the screen.

I would like to tell you what I think of the mp client, but PSN was swamped last night and download speeds of the 3.3gig client was abysmal, so I’m going to download it at a different time.

After getting your download code, you can click the next page for the chance to see if you instantly won a prize. I didn’t. Only three codes can be redeemed a day per email address.

It’s a nice thing that something so specifically gaming related could get so mainstream. You will have to have a PS3 and PSN account to be able to do anything with these download codes, but the instant win contest is open to anyone who redeems a subway sticker or drink code. I hope more companies do things like this.

Who else would like to see the Master Chief take over a fast food chain next? Heck I’d like to see that and I don’t even eat fast food as much as I used to!
