Luke <3s the Monkees

I prefer the Beatles :oP

Had my hopes up for a split second that this post was for a white PS3 in America. -.-

mmm sexy.

grandpa...ugh

why is this thing coming with the SE version of the game? not only is the console color dull, but its not even beneficial for the true mgs fan. MGS4 LE ftw?

I think both images of snake look like he is makin a clone of himself, if ya catch my drift...a Solid Snake Steamer!

I like it. if anybody buys it and doesn't want the box I'll take it

the boxart doesn't imply that it's the gunmetal color...what the hell?

at least we now know the official MGS4 US box art... for sure this time.

@madhotch: This isn't the gunmetal one. Thats ANOTHER bundle, more details on which are, apparently, coming "soon"

Okay, so when are we gonna know the contents of the Very Very Limited Edition Gunmetal Playstation 3 w/ MGS4?

Would we get the LE MGS4, too?

white ps3 ... come on white ps3 ... come on!

@mcheddadi: Reminds me of that one Dexter's Lab episode.

Deedee: Hi Grandpa!

Old Dexter: I'm not Grandpa!

And cost?

I forgot to put that in there...

I second WickedOrange. People need to sell their boxes. To me. For free.

@AZRoboto: My friend, with the limited version, you get the rare gunmetal PS3 model.

@madhotch: This is not the limited edition. This is the standard "plenty to go around" bundle. The limited version will have gunmetal and those prob won't even make it to stores.

I want the 80 GB Gunmetal PS3, LE MGS4 and Old Snake action figure before I preorder, Sony.

@AZRoboto: Nope. Regular edition. Its right on the box.

@Mit: haven't you seen this before?

[www.gearfuse.com]

the box art for the SE is bullshit. why couldn't we get the one like they have in japan and europe.

notice that every other metal gear solid game (except twin snakes) has original art on the box.

why the fuck did they decide to go with snake's in game rendering? i hate konami sometimes...

Funny shit, they should put a smiling rendered Solid Snake with thumbs up gesture and comic speech balloon with the words "I'm an honest guy trying to make an honest living" or any other car salesman quotation on it.

The box looks rather secksy.

@HuffmanDickings: You realize it was Kojima's decision right? It says so on the blog. And stop bitching, just buy the LE.

@HuffmanDickings:

Get the MGS4 LE from Gamestop. That cover is pretty nice.

oh man, if only I had the money I'd be all over this like a fat kid on twinkies.

I absolutly love the Metal Gear series.

and I'll eventually get a ps3 just for that game

Now, if Gamestop would let us start preordering these or the gunmetal version we would be in business.

Thought: Since apparently the MGS 4 LE game is only going to be sold at Gamestop, I guess that also means the Gunmetal PS3 will also only be sold there too, correct? Since that system comes with the LE version of the game?

Sony: I need date, specs, and price. Post Haste.

wow and then people complain about microsoft products box art....

How can that get any more cramped?....

You know I've never really played anything Metal Gear except for the old one on Nintendo.I might have to get this though.

I hope i don't have to sleep outside to get this bundle.. does anyone (living in Canada) know if Rogers or Blockbusters usually sell this kind of stuff?

My friend walked into Rogers on Wii release date and bought 1/10 Wii's stocked there, apparently they didn't even sell out on first day because no one knew

There's nothing good about this bundle except you get a different box.

But hopefully those who buy will save money as opposed to buying seperately.

Ah, I hope this sells well. Whoever that has been putting off a PS3 should pick that one up. Well, if they like MGS, that is. Still, it comes with a DualShock 3, so it's a good bnundle.

@HuffmanDickings: Twin Snakes had original art in Europe and Japan.

Put the monkey in the metallic steel diaper on top of the PS3 drinking a beer. Instant win.

i have to admit.. if you want MGS.. there is NO better thing you could buy than that bundle right there

80GB, WITH dualshock3, AND MGS... shieeeet.

Will it be BC, or have they removed that from all PS3 models now?

@thinkfreemind: Software BC is in place, much like previous 80gb units.

@islandknight:

Yes, I've seen them. I was referring to a release date in North America.

@thinkfreemind: Yes 80gb models will continue to be backwards compatible.

Damn you Japan, Play nice and send some steel consoles this way. Ill be buying a PS3 in a few months and Im not big on shiny

I can care less about the how the box looks...

All I care about is 80GB PS3+MGS4+DS3= $499!

If only this bundle was available online so I can sign up for that Sony credit card and get it for $399 O_O

Maybe the monkey is hiding on the back of the box or (GASP) IN THE BOX!

Did anybody else notice that the sticker on the bottom states that you also get a "PAIN downloadable game voucher" bundled with the console too? Even more value added.

Damn you, Sony/Konami, send those metal PS3 to Europe too!!

Pretty nice box...i will eventually buy that bundle and then print the original cover on shinny paper and pretend that the US cover never happened.

So you get the shitty standard copy of the game? Great. Wonderful. Blah.

This will be mine.

(if I can't get a hold of the limited edition box set that is)

@enewtabie:

yikes........

@joelface:

i was thinking more around the lines as follows: ps3 (1st gen w/ bc) = free + ds3 for $42 instead of retail price & mgs4 for free (after swap of mass effect x360) = free so in total
I only spent $42. now THAT's a deal. besides mass effect would be better on pc n e how so now loss here.

Monkey petition is go?

They are going on a Bundle Frenzy. I honestly think they will be announcing a GTA bundle soon for the states at least. I hope they don't cheat EU from this because that would be sad. HOnestly if they added a white ps3 it would be great but hey as long as it has a DS3 it should be fine.

Is too much to hope that this might just possibly come out in uber-neglected Europe?
