Gunmetal Grey MGS4 PS3 - Image 1Looks like MGS fans in the UK will have to settle for the Play.com Limited Release edition we reported about last week as it's the only MGS4 bundle headed for the region.

Confirmation about this issue came from a Konami UK spokesperson who said that "no bundles other than the limited edition Play.com figurine set have been planned for the UK."

SCEE will be offering a PlayStation 3 console that comes with a copy of MGS4, but that bundle only includes a black 40GB PS3 and a Sixaxis controller. The ultra-limited Gunmetal Gray PS3 bundle will be available for a whopping US$ 599 in the U.S., but only on Konami's online store.

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots will launch worldwide on June 12.

but I will wait until they release the white ps3 with DS3 controllers in Europe before I spend 400%u20AC on this beast, even if this means I'll never have a ps3.

Until then, I will spend most of my time with my friends who have a ps3 +)

I've just bought my Dualshock 3 :) It cost £30.. shipped from the UK for £4 P+P, not too shabby. I just had to buy it because I couldn't handle not having that rumble feature for most games, like MGS3.

US Gamestop Special Edition;



Pre-Order Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots and receive the Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots DVD Free! This DVD contains:



An interconnected history of all the %u201CSnakes%u201D. Compendium of the MGS4 Guns of the Patriots trailers. Access information for the Metal Gear Online Beta. And also the soundtrack (along with the "Making of")



Too be honest I don't really think we're missing out on anything besides that interconnecting story. But I'm guessing that this is just the story from MGS2 Substance, or somewhat like it. Either way, we'll not miss out on this really because most videos these days get uploaded on youtube or on any torrent website, along with the soundtrack.



Besides! they're missing out on the Old Snake figure! I'll be sticking with the Standard Edition copy though, but I havent really decided.
