@FlyingClub: That's the bubble-burst I was afraid of. Canadian, of course. That's why it has translations and the ERSB graphic.

I forgot that GO was the French abbreviation, thought it might be Greek or Italian.

Dammit!

GTA is going to bundled with the gimp, so I'm strating to fear that I'll have to buy the 40.

I reiterate: dammit!

Plunkett, you are on crack. The box art that this thing is replacing was infinitely superior. Black boxes just look better, the same way black macbooks, black tv's, black iPods, and other black consumer electronics look better. You wouldn't need to put a monkey on a hardware bundle box unless PS3's start getting bundled with TimeSplitters 4.

Snake's reflection on the PS3 is wrong. How can his other side of the body be the reflection?

Man that looks sweet. I'd love to have one of these bundles to be honest. Beats the LE PS3 by far.

Oh well, I've got a DualShock3 and a black 250GB PS3, so once I get MGS4, there's hardly anything to complain about.

FlyingClub — Fri, 11 Apr 2008 04:55:48 MDT

Just a thought, but I guess this is either a Canadian or a (fingers crossed) European release, seeing as it has both 60Gb and the French 60Go marked on the front. Or I'm just reading too much into it.

first GT5 prologue, then GTA4, after MGS4, then Resistance 2 and Killzone 2, LittleBigPlanet, GT5 final in 2009 with FF13, finally death of RodBox. Incredible year for PS3.

@mythus:

Because the gunsteel 80GB PS3 comes with the LE version of the game. Makes sense.

LE game, SE game.
LE bundle, SE bundle.

I personally hate the official boxart of the game. Hate it. I'd rather have the LE boxart, but I'd have to pay $85 for that -_-

80gig80gig80gig80gig!

I might be over-reacting here, but there's never been a PS3 bigger than 60GB available as standard in Europe.

This box is clearly mocked-up for the EU market with the 80GB/80GO mark, and 'ensemble'.

Except ... goddamn, it has the US ESRB
rating graphic.

Can anyone burst my bubble by telling me that 'GB' has the 'GO' translation on US or Japanese boxes?

Sony, please sell me a non-gimped PS3. I'm sorry I didn't jump at the chance to buy a launch unit. This won't make me an early adopter in the future, but ferfawksake, let EU residents buy a BC PS3.

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.

@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.

mva5580 — Thu, 10 Apr 2008 20:49:53 MDT

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.

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...
