Sony has announced that the first two games of the Uncharted series will be making their way on to PlayStation Network. Starting on June 26th, both Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune and Uncharted 2: Among Thieves Game of the Year Edition will be available for digital download onto your PlayStation 3. In celebration of this announcement, Sony has also announced that all existing Uncharted 2 DLC will be available for free to download worldwide. Pricing has yet to be confirmed but hopefully, with the transportation and physical media manufacturing cost out of the equation, Sony will at least consider offering it a little cheaper than in stores. For those of you curious about the sizes of both, PlayStation Associate Product Marketing Manager,  Mick Perona said in a comment, that Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune will be approximately 18.5GB while Uncharted: Among Thieves will weigh approximately 20.5GB.
