Default PS3 Bundle - Metal Gear

http://ps3.ign.com/articles/855/855057p1.html

February 26, 2008 - For months, Metal Gear Solid fans have eagerly been looking forward to a release date of the upcoming title from Kojima Productions, Metal Gear Solid 4. Since its delay last fall, the only thing fans have known is that the game is expected to be released later this year. Earlier today at Destination PlayStation, a retailers only conference for Sony products, Sony announced that a Metal Gear Solid 4 bundle pack will be released in Q2 2008


The bundle will include MGS4, an 80GB PS3 and a Dual Shock 3 included for an MSRP of $499.99. It will also include an Metal Gear Online "Starter Pack. For players that pre-order Metal Gear Solid 4, there's an added bonus: they'll be guaranteed access in the multiplayer beta of Metal Gear Online in late April.



This is pretty much the only reason I'm a PS3 anyway I think I'll wait

"80GB/80GO"

Something tells me that's not a US market package.

Yay a PS3 with a sticker and preapproved beta testing

So where is the "special" in all this "special edition"?
About as useless as the H3 xbx360 was.

It adds the cost of a $60 game and a $50 controller into the current cost of the 80GB unit.

Well at least unlike Mircosoft they are not charging $50 more for just the game and to add different colored plastic.

Speaking of Halo, when are we going throws some bricks again?

Slightly updated, but the DS3 has been going nuts on Ebay to get one.

I knew they would start packaging them soon, but with this game that makes it a pretty stellar deal IMO

Wait all the consoles come with a single controller and this one mentions only a single controller. So controller price is not a factor.

Ok then, they are still giving you a $60 game for free.
