MGS4 Gun Metal PS3 Confirmed for US

Alas, that's the 'United States', not 'us'

Posted by Staff
The Metal Gear Solid 4, gun metal grey PS3 has been confirmed for release in the United States by Konami.

The grey PS3 (full name: Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots Limited Edition PlayStation 3 Hardware Bundle) is a "VERY, VERY Limited Edition bundle" we are told by Konami on the US PlayStation Blog. The Japanese version (which is already sold out on Konami's online store) comes with a 40GB hard drive and Dual Shock 3 controller. Full details of exactly what the US edition will include have yet to be confirmed.

Also revealed was the box art for the less-limited Metal Gear Solid 4 PS3 hardware bundle for the States. You can see the box below.

Finally, we've got the box art for the standard and limited editions of MGS4 in the States. For good measure, SPOnG's decided to throw in the European packaging for you to take a nosey at.

SPOnG contacted Sony to find out if there are any plans for the gun metal grey PS3 to make it over here, but no comment was available at the time of press.

You can find out more about MGS4 over on SPOnG's dedicated game page.

Judging by the amount of new PS3 stock keeping units and bundles coming out at the moment, SPOnG can't help but wonder if Sony hopes to make no two PS3 packages the same...

I have a question, Spong is it really worth reporting on what USA keeps getting? I mean to be frank these f**ktard companies have never really offered us the same and to know what USA is getting time and time again is extremely fustrating.

UK keeps getting the shafting on outrageous pricing and lack of certain titles, delays which mean US gets games usually months in advance etc.

I am not having a go its just totally fustrating seeing what USA keep getting and what we wont get.

At which point SPOnG's American readers started complaining about all the European coverage and it all went to pot from there. :-)

Couple or three things:

1) Us not reporting it doesn't mean it's still not happening.
2) When the USA sneezes, eventually we catch the cold.
3) With a game the size of MGS, not reporting the availability would be remiss - and for all we know, our readers might have good friends across the large puddle who could provide the kit we're not getting.
4) Frustration... well, I can't do anything about that one.

Cheers

Also, the US (Canadian?) version in the picture looks like it comes with an 80GB hdd and a DS3.
