MGS4 PS3 bundle on Amazon.com tomorrow

by Scott Jon Siegel on Jun 5th 2008 10:30PM

Interested in the 80GB Metal Gear Solid 4 PS3 bundle? It'll likely be hard to come by on June 12, so those worried about picking one up in person can try their luck online. Amazon.com will be pre-selling the North American branded console bundles tomorrow morning, so best rest up your refreshing finger, and get that credit card of yours good and ready.

Amazon will begin selling the bundles at 10am PST (or 1pm EST) on Friday, June 6. They expect to sell out quickly (duh), so get "there" early. Best of luck to you.

What you playin around in that ketchup for

(obscure MGS reference ends now)

Now why'd you have to post this? No one will get it now! :p

These guys are fools for making this bundle so limited. It's the first package of stuff that's made me consider getting a PS3, but I'm on vacation with my wife, so I won't be standing in line at midnight or hitting refresh relentlessly on my browser. (Who am I kidding? I wouldn't have done this anyway.)

I feel like they could have sold a lot of MGS4 PS3 bundles by mass-manufacturing them so that I could walk into any retailer and buy one. But instead it's some scarce, limited edition BS. Boo. Maybe they'll have something good by Xmas.

Dirk, this isn't the Limited Edition bundle... this is the regular MGS4 bundle that will be on sale for quite some time, especially since they discontinued the Motorstorm Bundle and are replacing it with this one. So you're fine.

The line I got when I asked about the bundle's longevity was, "We aren't taking preorders. We don't know how many we'll get. We don't know how long we'll have them in stock."

If I can walk into a store and buy one in a few weeks, that'd be cool. If not, I guess it'll be a missed opportunity.

well, i work for a certain retailer that most people think is the anti-christ and we were told to expect 2-3 units at launch.

As your username so eloquently states, LOLWUT!?

Not sure if that LOLWHAT dude is just making stuff up or not but any chance that could be deleted guys.

Nobody wants to see potential spoilers.

lol to anyone who read past the first sentence before realizing what he was doing. Fake or not I'm not taking the chance.

I'm scared to look at that link. Did anyone actually read that first post?

Go on Joystiq, do the right thing and get rid of this sort of stuff, whether it's made up nonsense or legit spoilers is irrelevant.

@ tmac

The link is just a bunch of scans from the hardcover book that comes with MGS Collector's Edition. It looks legit, so anyone that wants to avoid potential spoilers should stay away.

hrm, not sure why I said @tmac. I meant to reply to Trotskii.

It doesn't say anywhere on their site it will be available at 10am. Where did you get that info? :P

We got an e-mail from amazon.com telling us so. Now, good luck fighting the rest of us for this system.

Damn Yoon you finally getting a PS3?

J/K

LOL -- I already have four PS3s. Do I need one more?

YES

:( Too bad I can't afford the damn thing...

I so want one of these, but can't afford it either. This is THE bundle to get.

I will be avidly awaiting by my work pc for 1PM EST..

Thanks, I was just thinking that we could use a random synopsis.

LOLWHUT just ruined the f**king game! That link it's true dammit! ARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH I couldn't stopped myself!

Snake is Dead. Game was spoiled. Time Paradox!

@High five jesus:

DIAF if true

First post=spoilers. Sage

Sure, I could spend $600 on a PS3 and game, or I could put gas in my car for a month ;)

You spend $600 on gas in a month (just as a reference, I spend ~$300 in gas a month between two cars)? I think you need a new car or should explore public transit... then you could buy the bundle. :)

Wow, Joystiq, you better hurry up and delete LOLWHUT's account. And posts. He's dishing out MGS spoilers left and right. Unless of course, you want enraged gamers. GROWL.

Deleted those comments. Please folks, refrain from posting MGS4 spoilers. Don't be a douche.

Are they actually spoilers? From what I read, I knew most of it except for the end sentence...Which may have been important >_>

I am trying hard not to buy this bundle. Call me cheap or whatever, but this generation is too expensive. I hope to hold out until there's a PS3 bundle that has mass market appeal at a sub 300 bones price tag.

FISSION MAILED!

Now I just look like more of a douche since I'm just saying it spontaneously rather than replying to the spoiler's post...

;_;

Stop it. Asshole.

Thanks

Oh you mother fucker...

Well enjoy your time here, I hope you and the rest of your Ebaum's world buddies go back to the hell you came from.

I smell 4chan as well....

An IP ban is in order.

I second that order

I third, fourth and fifth the order

Just avoid all MGS related articles everywhere. The same thing that douche said (from what I can tell, only read the first few words) is popping up all over big game forums/comments

I agree, I think it's time to switch off teh internets for the next couple of weeks.

I see someone has posted a big pile of spoilers just below this as well.

I would like to kindly ask them to go and die in a fire

Also if you have your AIM, MSN, or whatever listed anywhere you might want to take it off, I'm hearing people have been getting IMs with the spoilers

I wish i had the money to buy this right now. I have a 360 and Wii, this would finish off my collection nicely. Plus MGS4 looks like my kind of game.

fanswag.....pretty please?

I don't have moneys

Why exactly is Joystiq advertising for sony and the ps3? Shouldn't that be...uhh I dunno ps3fanboys job?

Shut up.

Wow, as if you couldn't say anything more retarded PremierAsshole. If anything, Joystiq dislikes the PS3 though far far far less than you.

Get a life you idiot ... You know your foaming at the mouth right now just looking at that bundle ... Its not advertising its news! ... I know you tiny female brain can't comprehend anything positive or even neutral about the PS3 but give the schtick a rest tonight

Foaming for what?

A hyped up half movie/half game? That we already know the ending to thanks to that other guy?

Yes I'm so interested...NOT

Now if that were FFXIII I might give a shit. But everyone knows that MGS has a niche fanbase that can't compare to COD4 or Halo or any decent Mario game...

It just seems ridiculous to me that this bundle deserves its own special post on Joystiq. I wonder if Joystiq will do the same if MS does the same exact thing with a Gears 2...

I don't know what's more amusing, that you've exposed you're blatant hypocrisy by posting on something that you just said you have zero interest for, or that someone in middle school is allowed to stay up this late.
