Japan's Metal Gear Solid 4 PS3 bundle a real steel
by Ludwig Kietzmann

Approximately ¥51,800 ($515) will net Japanese consumers an alloyring PlayStation 3, a matching controller, Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, the Metal Gear Online starter pack and a special video disc no doubt packed with making-of fluff. And before you start importing, keep in mind that the US is also getting in on the bundling brouhaha this June.

That finish looks badass though.
Mr.ESC @ Mar 18th 2008 1:40PM
I hope it makes it...IN AMERICA.
Lp47PS3 @ Mar 18th 2008 1:44PM
We already have a bundle in America.
Mr.ESC @ Mar 18th 2008 1:46PM
I'm talking about the Steel finish.

i am hoping the new finish comes to US as well.

Sony likes to kind of shrug America off most of the time when it comes to color choice.
Too bad too, because I love that steel finish, it's rather nice. A little bit different than your standard white/silver/black fair.

I don't understand what you're trying to say. Try speaking American. It's the only language I understand...

@Sir Fidlious Wong
I did not even know that American was a language. =/

Looks cool but... why does it have 2 disks?

"Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, the Metal Gear Online starter pack and a special video disc "
The other disc is the special video disc it would seem.
Spartacus @ Mar 18th 2008 3:29PM
I think he was poking fun at the capacity of blu-ray discs.
kbomb1upc @ Mar 18th 2008 3:35PM
@Spartacus
No I just didn't know what the other disk was.

Holy punning crap.
Steel/Steal
Headline/Headlyin'
Alloyring/alluring
Brouhaha/... oh wait that's not a pun =(.
WedgeTalon @ Mar 19th 2008 6:48AM
Well, a good pun IS its own reword! :D
Curmeo @ Mar 18th 2008 1:51PM
damn that's one sexy looking PS3.

Seeing how the Japanese PSStore had a MGS4 trailer a couple weeks back that I started downloading until I saw how big the file was in english 25GB! ITS A TRAILER!

That PS3 looks horrible in my view. For me, personally, it would ruin the look of my entertainment setup that I have where everything is a nice looking sharp black. I would never buy this thing. It looks like someone scraped the finish off the 20GB model. I think I'll stick with a nice Glossy PS3 when MGS4 hits.
The Fuzz 53 @ Mar 18th 2008 2:23PM
I wonder how much Sony is losing on PS3s now that 1 USD only = 95 yen (was around 120 yen when the PS3 came out), and heading lower seeing that the Fed thinks that cutting interest rates will solve our woes (which they won't, time and snapping back to reality will).
Dauragon88 @ Mar 18th 2008 2:48PM
OH Ludwig, your punnery knows no bounds!
Robobagins @ Mar 18th 2008 2:56PM
Damn, got my hopes up. If it actually was steel I would've been all over it.
John McPoop @ Mar 18th 2008 2:58PM
This could be an even better deal if they included full backwards compatibility and the Metal gear Anthology set to drop tomorrow. I do like the finish though because it reminds me of the finish on my Baretta.
iRobot @ Mar 18th 2008 3:16PM
So "Matte Black" instead of "Shiny Black"? That's a hell of a stretch.
Sweet Daddy ( Colecovision Antidefimation League ) @ Mar 18th 2008 3:20PM
The Japanese bundle includes the 40GB model of PS3 and the North American bundle will include the 80GB model, correct? For $500, North America is getting a better value, don't you think?
ThornedVenom (Harley Quinn Defense Force) @ Mar 18th 2008 10:50PM
Steel-colored? As in not made of real steel?
A day will come when I'll get a PS3 which could deflect bullets. =/
FREEman @ Mar 19th 2008 4:26AM
So I was with my friend the other day and he told me about this site
http://ps3s.megafreebie.com/

I'm not impressed with the color.
PK FIRE!
