All European residents should be pleased to note that the "plain" Metal Gear Solid 4 bundle -- the one with the game, a black 40 gigger and a Sixaxis controller -- is still on track for a June 12th release at €439. It's not quite as fancy as the 80GB / Dual Shock 3 bundle in the US, but at least they all come with a pretty good game.
[Update: Several tipsters point to Play.com's "exclusive" listing of this very bundle. We're going to go with the publisher's word over a retailer listing, but we'll check with Konami again, just to be sure. Update 2: Konami has confirmed with us that the bundle will not be heading to the UK, calling the Play.com listing a "mistake."]

Not sure why I needed to rhyme that...
Anyway... I wish the US version was an 80gb, how cool would it be to play almost every MG/MGS game on one MGS themed console!

I looked at that statement and thought "Someone's going to catch hell for this if anyone bothers to read the article and notices it"
Then i looked and realized it was Ludwig. good show sir

Are there "exclusive" ones and if so which are they? Does Gamestop have its own exclusive bundle. The only one I'm pretty sure about is the Konami one if I'm not mistaken. The "Gun Metal Grey" one. Also isn't Japan getting its own "exclusive MGS4" bundle?
I mean sony and its game bundles is one thing but now they have multiple types of bundles and it just seems really confusing to me.

The "Gun Metal Gray" is the limited edition bundle. Comes with a Gun metal 40giger, MGS4 LE, Gun metal DS3 for $599 and can only be purchased at Konami's website.
The other bundle is a plain black 80GB PS3, DS3, and regular MGS4 for $499.
So the better deal is a no brainer, but that Gun Metal Gray looks pretty sweet
there are two official bundles that will be available
1 from Konami is a limited edition Gun metal gray MGS 4 bundle (40 GB No BC) that includes one controller & the game for $599.99 only on the Konami site and has been rumored to only be available to the USA
The other bundle is a Sony bundle (ala the Motorstorm bundle) that will feature the game, a regular 80 GB BC PS3 and a DS3 controller

Strange, my 360 has been fine for over a week...So where can I find the new PS3?
It certainly does suck for UK though, it seems like they always get the shaft

Japanese developers: Sorry UK, we are just passing through, could you step aside please so we can get to America.

Can you find out if Canadian's will be able to buy the Limited Edition? I looked on the Konami website and tried mailing them but so far it seems it's a US only dealy. Thanks.

(I'm poking fun at the simplistic American way of spelling, just like 'Color' and 'Colour')

Nothing wrong with being a 'smart' fan. I'm a die-hard of the series as well, but eff paying extra for less stuff. If I want the system that colour, it isn't hard to take the shell off(or buy a skin for it from DecalGirl.com or something)and do it myself. 80GB-bundle all the way!

So, the UK is getting it (dunno about the rest of Europe), but it's a Play.com exclusive.
Frankly I'd like to know why our PSP Slim costs more than the US and still doesn't include a memory stick, but that's another question for another day.

The pre-order is limited to U.S only.That's f*cking g@y.I seriously want the limited edition,it includes the Soundtrack with tracks by Harry Gregson-Williams and Ennio Morricone.
