Wear your Kojima-love on your wrist with a limited edition MGS4 watch

by Griffin McElroy on Jun 21st 2008 6:30PM

Have you ever felt like exclaiming your love for Kojima's groundbreaking stealth action franchise, but found it to be too cumbersome a topic to wedge into your average conversation? Perhaps a recently revealed, limited edition Metal Gear Solid 4 wristwatch might help spawn the occasional Solid Snake-related discussion amongst you and your contemporaries, as well as prevent you from, you know, being late for stuff.

The timepiece in question is a scantily produced, water resistant watch from Gamestation, and includes a "Konami certificate of authenticity," approved by Kojima himself. With only 500 units hitting the market, we imagine diehard FOXHOUND fans will snatch up the available preorders, and drop the £99.99 ($197) required to procure the sexy chronometer when it hits digital shelves this Halloween. We're sure it will go great with their more-than-slightly unsettling Psycho Mantis costumes.

I'd get this, but I'd rather spend $200 on video games than a watch.

Not me.... I do want that watch!

Who wouldn't? : )

I had three hearts a minute ago...Who downvoted me? =O

And now I'm back up to 3... O_o

Is this for timing MGS4 cut scenes?

(I kid, I kid)

but it only has 60 mins. on the dial, what if the cutscene is longer than that?

actually, it has 12 hours

think it'll be enough?

Looks a bit generic. Anyone remember the one from FF spirits? That one looked kinda cool if extremely dorky

Is there anything I can wear to express my undying loathing of Kojima?

A solid metal snakeskin thong.

No, no, he means BESIDES that.

If you buy this, congratulations. You've officially given up on life.

DONE AND DONE. :D

Wake me when they make a MGS decoder ring,

This would go great with my Dig Dug hat!

sweet i want it look cool

this will go great with my gears of war dildo

I have been considering cashing in on the MGS 4 train. Imagine a package that includes the following items all unopened in a year or so after they are all unavailable.

MGS 4 40 GB Limited Edition Gun Metal Bundle (Or/And)
MGS 4 80 GB Bundle From Sony
Pre-Order Disc w/Beta Code
Limited Edition Strategy Guide
Art Book w/purchase of Special Edition
PDP MGS4 Blue Tooth Head Set
MGS Essentials Collection
That Above Mentioned Watch`

If you wanted to go really crazy you could get sealed copies of all of the MG games from the early Nintendo & MSX ones all the way through MGS 4

I would never go that far but the list I made would certainly have some value when the next MGS4 drops. It would only be to a big time fanboy/collector but if you had all that stuff factory sealed I could see some big time profit. I have it all sans the watch (obviously) and the console bundles.
