So, you think naming your kid Nicholai Stephanovich Sokolov Smith is enough to prove that you're the biggest Metal Gear Solid fan? Well, in the immortal words of Michael Jackson, if you don't own the above custom PS3, then you ain't bad. In fact, you ain't nothin'.
The system, which includes a backlit logo and the signatures of Hideo Kojima and Yumi Kikuchi, can be yours along with a few other MGS collectibles for the low, low price of ... well, whatever the high bid ends up being on eBay. It's currently a bargain at $7,100.
...You know, you could probably prove you're the world's biggest Syphon Filter fan for a lot cheaper than that. Just saying.

Its just a shame its a metal plate stuck on top of a repainted case.
I'd be more impressed if he'd directly etched it into a metal PS3 casing.
Still very nice, but i'd have to store this thing in some type of laser-alarm protected glass case for fear of burglars/children-with-sticky-fingers.

Sony Bend, the developers of the Syphon Filter franchise, are busy with Resistance: Retribution...
Although I would love a SP for PS3, they are one of the best PSP developers, seemingly pushing the PSP's hardware to the max.

FREE SHIPPING?!?!?!? That makes any $7,000+ investment that much more enticing!

Most importantly:
"An original 60GB Playstation 3 with FULL hardware backwards compatibility was used to create this mod."
