"ok thats japan amaerica and now australia has DS3 on sale what about the uk?"

"nah not yet we still need to get rid of all those sixaxis'"

Yes it's that shitty... Hence I'm gonna get the LE US PS3... I don't see what am I gonna do with a vibration-less controller, considering they're pretty much dead.

No DualShock 3? Like, what the hell?

Finally, I'll make my step into the 'current-gen era'

I live in Australia and I can't be bothered with this crap anymore. I waited patiently and hoping that SCEE would do us good by giving us a DS3 and good HDD size of PS3 in the bundle. Especially considering the price we would have to pay for the bundle.

Screw BR Movies/DVD, can always get the drive for my PC. I'm just gonna import the US limited edition if I can get it, otherwise I'll just get the normal US bundle.

Apparently US/JAP PS3 also work in 220~240v environment!!!

Im not touching a MGS game without rumble, forget It!

We're talking about the Limited Edition Gunmetal one, not the regular edition with a black PS3.

but any merit was lost when u said >A SINGLE AIRPLANE GAME< u said u warhawk isnt, but what about Blazing Angels 1 and 2....dumbass

I count two...not 0

soldierofotep

no real reason to be THAT pissed off. either buy a PS3 or 360 or not. but stop reading off a laundry list of reasons why.

and, yes, warhawk does count. who the hell could NOT like warhawk other then someone that hasn't played it?

I Love MGS4 and every Kojima game I've come across (Hint: Snatcher needs a remake on the Wii or DS) and I do hope MGS4 is a 10/10 (even after his frontal honesty about the Cell on EDGE last month). I hope everyone who bought a PS3 based on Sony's hype will finnalyhave their hard earned €s justified.

As for me, this is the last straw on a long list of being misstreated by Sony (and I have both PSX and PS2). They need a good lesson in humility. Why the hell do I need a SIXAXIS!? Rumble is last gen!? To hell with you, Sony. The only light of beacon that would still make me consider your BluRay player was the price of this pack and not even such a simple thing you made this right.

Oh, and just for the record, if anyone wonders the 1st time when I started considering the 360 in my future instead of the PS3: The day I came to Kotaku and Namco announced Ace Combat 6 on the 360 only.

Maybe niche, maybe im just a minotiry, but owning every single game from that series (including the japanese, non cut PSX AC3 Electrosphere original) I find it baffling that there isn't >A SINGLE AIRPLANE COMBAT GAME< on the PS3 in its entire lifeline*. 360 has ACE6, Wii has Heatseeker and will get "The Sky Crawlers" from Project Aces.

So here I am, single Wii owner, waiting for the dust to settle, trying to make the best possible decision to jump to a second console for this eneration. Peer pressure is a b*tch, acutally, since all of my friends own 360s. Not a single one of my friends has a PS3 (and all of them are, like me, PSX/PS2 owners)! Considering I live in Sonyland (thats Portugal, btw) , Sony must be doing something really WRONG, to make long time supporters completly turn away, even with MGS4 on the horizon.

If any of you STILL think that Sony is a saint... you really don't live in Europe, do you?

*No, "Warhawk" does not count, sadly...

I have been holding off getting a PS3 and was hoping that either GTA IV or MGS4 would have bought about an interesting, added value bundle. Say, a colour change (e.g. gunmetal) or the inclusion of a Dual Shock 3 - either of those would have tipped the balance for me. It's not much I know but at least I would feel like a wanted customer, rather than the runt of the continental litter getting fed the leftover scraps.

For me, the original MGS was the first game (and one of the few) to use the Dual Shock rumble to its full potential. The shudder of the Hind D. The use of rumble on controller port 2 when attempting to fight Psycho. It was used in subtle, clever, immersive ways rather than the on/off distracting approach of other games.

Since then rumble has been a great addition to the series. It is a great shame that by the time the DS3 comes out in Europe many would have already experienced rumble-less MGS4.

Sadly, like some others above, I will probably resign to fate and purchase the bland bundle regardless, rather than continue to kid myself something better will turn up.

Weep...

Maybe the fact that there isn't an 80gb would do it, but not having a dual shock 3 bundled is kind of a stupid reason to get a 360 instead. I got a PS3 because I like the games, maybe thats just me though.

This was actually my last hold-out consideration before taking the plunge and getting the must-have game bundled with the less-than-desired version of the console. The first images of the MGS4 bundle (with French text on the box) indicated an 80GB, but that seems to have been the Canadian version.

It came down to not playing GTA for six weeks, in the vain hope that Sony would start offering Europe a choice of which version of their console to buy. The chances of that started to seem somewhere between Buckley's and sod all when looking at the last GTA bundle in town.

As much as I'd (still) like the option of getting a BC machine, I'm kinda glad Sony didn't use the GTA launch to pressure hold-outs like me to get a 40 just before they released the 80/120 in EU.

Also, I'd like a European system for Blu-Ray, DVD and the few region coded PS3 games that might pop up.

Just a small DualShock 3 controller had made such a difference... *sigh*

a big middle finger to Konami EU for shafting Europe once again!
give them their damn dualshock3!, and just give away the sixaxis for free!

i feel for you guys over in europe. hopefully more details of another bundle surface with DS3 included.

zanzibarlegend

...the really sad thing is that if nothing improves over summer, this is likely the package I will by my PS3 in... and I feel kind of sad about that...

they think about selling the game itself, if someone wants the PS3 just for MGS4 this is a good deal. Anyway those who complain about DS3 and stuff they simply won't buy it or they are PS3 haters

Let's have an announcement on A) the Gunmetal Bundle that includes features and price, and B) How about throwing the rest of the world a bone and giving us those "Welcome Box" bundles as well? We want the Ceramic White!!

It's not on the PS3, unfortunately. Having that image airbrushed on their would make it an instant buy for me. I think that looks really cool. So does Sony's marketing as that image keeps being used. A lot of people are going to get home, open the box and be pretty disappointed when they just have a piano black PS3.

I guess Sony still have a million Sixaxis controllers to sell before they will even acknowledge the existence of the DualShock 3 to Europe.
