Uncharted 3 Explorer Edition price £105

Wooden travel case! Belt buckle! Ring!

Lo and behold! The UK price of the Uncharted 3 Explorer's Edition is £104.97 at GameStop.

This is the super-deluxe Collector's Edition, the contents of which were still being decided in June.

The Explorer's Edition of Uncharted 3 brandishes a wooden travel case that's produced to "a premium quality" in an antique style. The case has space for 19 PS3 games. They're not included.

Also included is a replica of Nathan Drake's belt buckle, which is "wearable", and a full-size replica of Drake's necklace strap that holds Sir Francis Drake's ring.

On top of all that, you'll get a Nathan Drake statue (not full-size), the Special Edition journal-styled game box case and a voucher for various bits of digital content.

They are the London Drake Skin and Pirate AK-47 Weapon Mod for multiplayer; an Upper Cut Taunt gesture; a Cash Multiplayer boost for online and a Special Edition Decals Pack for your avatar's accessories.

You'll also performance enhancing weapon upgrades such as the Callout Mod for AK-4 (laser sight), Clip Size Mod for Para-9 (more ammo capacity), Clip Size Mod for G-MAL (more ammo capacity), Creepy Crawler Kickback (turn into a swarm of deadly creatures momentarily!), Carpet Bomb Kickback (throw three grenades at once) and Regeneration Booster (boost your healing power to recover more quickly).

Uncharted 3 is expected to be a key focus for Sony's Gamescom 2011 press conference this evening. Eurogamer will be there, reporting live from the event.
