Konami unveils details on MGS4 UK Limited Edition release - Image 1We've got great news to fans in the UK who are eagerly waiting for Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. Konami, the company behind this much anticipated action game, has just revealed the details on the Limited Edition release.

This particular release has a retail price of about GBP 79.99 (around US$ 157) and comes with three goodies. Here's what in-store for those who order the game from Play:

  • 6" Old Snake 'Olive Drab' action figure
  • "The Making Of Metal Gear Solid 4" documentary on Blu-ray Disc
  • Official Metal Gear Solid 4 soundtrack
Also, there's also a possibility that this particular edition might come with the "collectible packaging with exclusive artwork by famed Kojima Productions illustrator Yoji Shinkawa," just like the Limited Edition for the US. So far, there's still no confirmation about it.

Furthermore, a special DVD called Metal Gear Saga Vol. 2, a seven-part documentary on the series and its evolution, is going to be given to those who have pre-ordered or will pre-order the title from GAME.

With this released information, Konami's European marketing director, Martin Schneider said:

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots is rightly seen as the stand-out title for 2008, and we were determined to come up with something special for its launch.


With interest so high, it is only right that we reward fans of the series for pre-ordering the game, and the Metal Gear Saga DVD is a stunning look at how the series has evolved into the phenomenon it has become. Likewise, the Limited Edition is a celebration of all things Metal Gear, and will be prized by those who buy it.

 » So has it been made official now?

Konami hates America. I only plan on renting this game anyways since MGO was a flop (plus hardly anyone was on it compared to other betas). I expect hardly anyone will play it and the servers will get shut down within 1 year again just like last time.

Besides, I already used my pre-order money for MGS4 and put it towards Haze. You can't go wrong with Free Radical!

Seriously, youve bashed kojima calling him arrogant, your calling mgo a flop. Sthu dude, people like you annoy the hell out of me, nothing but negative *****.

"Konami hates America", tell me, why did Konami release MGS2 in America 1st before even *****ing Japan????? I'll answer you, kojima was showing appreciation for America giving so much support to MGS1. MGS4 was originally going to be launched in Japan 1st, but now they've changed that as well, everyone gets it as the same time.

 » You are crazy

for saying that MGO flopped. That game is so *****ing fun and the only people I know that didn't like it were noobs at it. Not to say thats the reason you don't like it.

Haze I'm not sure about, I'm still waiting on the demo to finish downloading...I hope it is worth your money.

Even if MGO sucked ***** MGS4 would be *****ing sick. As far as MGO is concerned, it showed me that MGS4's engine is sick.

Can't wait for this. I'm going collectors.

 » $157?!?!

Metal Gear is my favorite game but, I'm sorry, that's not worth it (even though I'd end up getting it anyway)...

 » too much but good enough for me

Well I pre-ordered mine as I didn't care much about the price.
The reason I ordered this is because of the BluRay extra(DVD ain't much my thing anymore) and the figurine.

Heck... I pre-ordered GTA4:SE and I got a bag I haven't used, a CD I don't listen to and a Lock Box with nothing inside.

Off-topic... I played the demo of Haze and honestly, it didn't live up to my expectation. And according to B3D it even runs @ 576p which is the standard PAL resolution.
