Metal Gear?! Such an exclamation will no doubt emanate from a friend's mouth as he steps into your extravagant living room and gazes upon a "Gunmetal Grey" PlayStation 3. Konami's Brandon Laurino has confirmed on the official
PlayStation Blog that this "VERY, VERY Limited Edition" system will be available in North America as part of a special
Metal Gear Solid 4 bundle. You may recall caressing its steel-colored curves (in your mind) back when it was unveiled as the 40GB
'Hagane' model in Japan.
Expect this
Metal Gear Solid 4 bundle (
not the only one) to arrive on the game's June 12th release date. Oh, and do invite us over so we can
exclaim.

Ninjakamster @ Apr 10th 2008 5:59PM
He'd rather burn his Wii (console and/or his "fun part") than get a PS3.
Sir Fidlious Wong (Zeon Defense Force) @ Apr 10th 2008 6:38PM
Actually, I talk to him on MSN and he was considering getting one in the future and was looking at the MGS4 bundle, which is why I told him to get his preorder down for this version....
Then of course a noted troll had to be an ass...
WiiSports Machine...Fernandos in disguise PSN: Killjebus @ Apr 10th 2008 6:52PM
If Fernandos is seriously considering getting a PS3, then there is no hope, and my father is truly dead.
WOW just wow.
And I thought no one could out flip flop John Kerry in the 2004 Presidential campaign.
FrankTheCrank @ Apr 10th 2008 8:10PM
Sir Fidlious...too funny man. I actually LOL'ed, for real.
About the LE PS3....It's mine. I don't care that I have a 20GB unit with a 160GB drive...I still want it.
Mr.ESC @ Apr 10th 2008 8:24PM
EVERYONE FREEZE!
I'M HIJACKING THE FIRST POST.
OMG METAL GEAR IS AWESOME I'M PLAYING METAL GEAR 2 SUBSTANCE RIGHT NOW,I'M PREORDING THIS A.S.A.P
(Sorry I just love MGS series and the caps make everything souns important)
The Artist formally known as Jesus @ Apr 10th 2008 9:16PM
you don't need caps Mr.ESC
everything you say is important anyway
Mr.ESC @ Apr 10th 2008 10:22PM
Sorry for the typo.Hijacking makes me nervious.
Anyway
"everything you say is important anyway"
No is not,I just like MGS.
Vegeta (aka Ska Oreo) @ Apr 10th 2008 5:33PM
Ewwww. Grey.
Zertoss @ Apr 10th 2008 5:54PM
Ewwww. 40 GB.
el serpiente @ Apr 10th 2008 6:30PM
Eww, trolls.
KiraXD @ Apr 10th 2008 6:56PM
Well i agree with the eww 40gb comment... such a high tech game deserves the highest tech SKU... i mean... at least a SKU that could play EVERY MGS game (ps1 and PS2 and PS3)
Tiptup300 @ Apr 10th 2008 9:15PM
I own a ps3 and agree, why would you want that color? The glossy black is so freaking nice looking. I was gonna make it the center piece of my room, but it attracts too much dust as it is...
A Pissed-off English Gamer @ Apr 10th 2008 10:10PM
Ironic colour choice; more than half of the games coming out these days only use colours within two or three shades of that "gunmetal grey". Now you can look at your console without worrying about too much optical stimulation, too! Jubilations!
Mr.ESC @ Apr 10th 2008 10:24PM
Ewww…Cheese in my Eel Pie.
peteH @ Apr 10th 2008 5:34PM
*Yawn* Call me when they release a slimline, fully BC, $299-$399 PS3.
Sir Fidlious Wong (Zeon Defense Force) @ Apr 10th 2008 5:42PM
What should we call you?
Gorath the Bridgekeepr?
Helmfist the Blade?
Gracknoir the Unwise?
What's a good troll name?
Noshino @ Apr 10th 2008 5:48PM
give me your number, I'll call you
Ninjakamster @ Apr 10th 2008 5:57PM
Yeah, don't hold your breath.
WiiSports Machine...Fernandos in disguise PSN: Killjebus @ Apr 10th 2008 6:12PM
By the time Sony releases a PS3 slim, the price will probably be closer to $200, maybe even a buck fifty.
DangerMouse @ Apr 10th 2008 6:24PM
If they're abiding by there ten year plan, i'll call you in 6.
dizzy @ Apr 10th 2008 6:49PM
Gracknoir sounds neet. I'ma name my next mmo character that =D
ThornedVenom (Harley Quinn Defense Force) @ Apr 10th 2008 10:33PM
Facepalm the Furious.
Tim The Enchanter. (Formerly not-so-well-known as AcidMonkey) @ Apr 10th 2008 10:56PM
Grendel.
lawlersauce @ Apr 10th 2008 11:10PM
I'll call you 'Jackass'
rockintom @ Apr 11th 2008 10:48AM
Actually, I would prefer if he did hold his breath. Troll problem solves itself!
Lars @ Apr 11th 2008 1:58PM
Oh yeah, and call me when Ford releases a Mustang that gets 40MPG and costs 5 grand, yet with the same power of the current Mustang.
RomeoDude @ Apr 11th 2008 7:23PM
I don't really mind the size, and the price isn't really a huge issue, but full backward compatibility would be nice.... really nice. That's a feature I really wish Sony would bring back.
deddyluger @ Apr 10th 2008 5:34PM
they need to change the entire design of that thing.
ColossalHat @ Apr 10th 2008 5:40PM
Darn right they do, I want Metal Gear Rex to be playing my MGS4.
nintendude @ Apr 10th 2008 5:35PM
nice! already got the black one though...which is probably better for the living room entertainment center anyways...
Raikage (LDF CRAB BATTLE!!!) @ Apr 10th 2008 5:37PM
Wish they would put some classic MGS artwork on it (see essential collection box artwork).
But if I get a PS3 it'll be this one.
Pedobear @ Apr 10th 2008 5:37PM
Is it going to be an 80GB model for NA? If so I would pick up the PS3. if not, then no thanks.
INCH75 Vocals @ Apr 10th 2008 5:40PM
Despite REALLY bad luck with Sony hardware in the past, that limited edition bundle may make me crumble. Although a Limited Edition bundle would be interesting too, just not for me. The old guys will get that.
ApolloIV @ Apr 10th 2008 5:40PM
The question is, is it still a lean clean grilling machine?
RobLink (McElroy Defence Force) @ Apr 10th 2008 5:46PM
I can has UK release?!?!
*drools*
Benny @ Apr 10th 2008 5:50PM
I think this actually looks really nice. If this or the white version actually made it to UK shores, with BC in tow, I might consider buying one.
deaftly @ Apr 10th 2008 5:52PM
The black and white ones are nice, this not so much.
Ninjakamster @ Apr 10th 2008 5:57PM
I heard back in January the white model would be coming to North America?
I think the white and silver models are also only 40gb?
: (
Tone @ Apr 10th 2008 6:00PM
Is this gunmetal gray model a 40 or 80gb? Does it come with the DS3 as well?
Ninjakamster @ Apr 10th 2008 6:01PM
Its 40gb. I'm pretty sure it'll have a DS3, very surprised if it doesn't.
NukeAssault @ Apr 10th 2008 6:34PM
ps3fanboy.com shows an 80gb box. O_o
Robert @ Apr 10th 2008 7:57PM
From the PlayStation official blog:
"Inside you will find the 80GB PLAYSTATION 3 package (yes, the 80GB PS3 has been resurrected for this bundle)"
Gure @ Apr 10th 2008 6:01PM
The color is amazing,certainly the best console color ever IMO,almost wana buy it just because of that lol.
But wont lol.
Justin @ Apr 10th 2008 6:05PM
Amazing.
If I didn't have a PS3 already, that would be my beyotch.
Actually, I may purchase and Ebay that thing.
Christopher Grant @ Apr 10th 2008 6:07PM
!
Sir Fidlious Wong (Zeon Defense Force) @ Apr 10th 2008 6:41PM
Huh?!?
What was that?
Matt B @ Apr 10th 2008 7:05PM
Isn't that what is over enemy soldier's head when you are spotted in MG?
