At Konami’s Gamers Day 2008 last week, the company announced that aside from the U.S. retail “Playstation 3 Metal Gear Solid 4 Pack“, they themselves would be releasing a “Metal Gear Solid 4 Limited Edition PS3 Bundle”. This means they’ll include more brown-colored PS3 items in the package.
Featuring a Gun Metal Gray PlayStation 3 system with a 40GB hard drive, the bundle also includes a matching DualShock 3 wireless controller and Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots Limited Edition game. The bundle will be exclusively available at Konami’s website, www.konami.com, for a SRP of $599.99. Pre-orders for the bundle begin on May 19th, 2008, and limited supplies are available.
The main features of the MGS4 PS3 bundle are:
* Gun Metal Gray PlayStation 3 with a 40GB Hard drive
* DualShock 3 wireless controller
* Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots Limited Edition
o The Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots game, which includes Metal Gear Online, enabling you to take part in the ultimate multiplayer squad based tactical shooter
o Exclusive Blu-ray disc including over 2 hours of additional content - “Hideo Kojima’s Gene”, a behind-the-scenes vision of Hideo Kojima’s production team & game and “The Making of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots” documentary
o The official Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots CD Soundtrack, including 16 never-before-released tracks by Harry Gregson-Williams (Shrek, Armageddon, The Rock), Nobuko Toda, and Ennio Morricone
* Price: $599.00 (plus applicable sales tax and shipping rates)
That would equate to roughly $AUD620 which makes me sad as over in Australia there will be even less games to sell and the price for just a regular 40gb console and the game will be at least $700.
We still don’t know if the Limited Edition is coming to Australia yet. Supposively it was never intended to buy because of miscommunication with the distributor retailer stores took preorders and now I hear that they are shipping some over from the UK to meet onlt those preorders.
Are you talking about the Limited Edition game or console? Because it turns out the console isn’t even coming out in the UK, just Japan and the US.
I just scored this bundle on Amazon.com for $399.96. Looks like good things come to those who wait!
