Metal Gear Solid 4: The PS3 Bundle: The Cardboard Box

Here it is, folks. The PlayStation 3 bundle with Metal Gear Solid 4 product photography proof. It might not have been our choice-we'd have gone with a stealthier plain brown box with the words "The Orange" on the outside-but we don't know from product marketing. We'd also have gone with a better camo choice, perhaps Snake in "piano black" with the Spider-Man font emblazoned in a full body pattern. I'm sure everyone else will find it just peachy keen. Here's hoping that Japan's got something extra special planned for collector types.

So much good news for ps3 fans today:). MGS4 release date finally pinned down. I am very confident in the release date. With the hardware bundle it will be quite difficult for them to make any more last min delays. MGS4 is about 3 months away. Its been a long wait but its finally coming. ANd best of all despite the overwhelming rumors from last yr still remains a play station 3 exclusive

for MS anyway. This is why Sony has run this console $*** since it came on the scene. This is just the tip of the iceberg people.

Isn't there a magazine out right now with Snake's reflection on a PS3?

Coincidence? I think not.

Makes me wish I needed another one.

I actually am (almost) seriously considering buying a whole new system just for that game. Here's hoping that no major expenses pop up between then and now lol.

i want to get another one too but i'm waiting towards the end of the year. hopefully there will either be another price drop or new color, mabye both, by then.

if sony really wanted owners to have multiple systems they'd come with a new color. if this bundle came with the silver PS3, i'd get it without the price drop first day.

Well, much like Raiden in MGS2 it's not likely they want you to know that until you play the game.

7 - well Sony you bastards did IT
now all you need to do is let people know... similar to what MS did with Gears. Put 2 trailers in the theatre for showing as a preview starting next month before summer block busters and then drop it in as bundled with PS3 and Only for PS3 starting at 399, then destroy the internet and forums and TV's and Magazines, and even radio waves. MGS4 hits PS3s in June and Baby you have a 5 million sold in US alone, and everywhere else

Good idea! They can run the Raiden trailer when either Batman or Iron Man or both are in theaters. Unknowing people would think it was a movie until they see the "only on Playstation 3" and throw in a Blu-Ray logo in there as well lol.

What would have made this bundle really awesome is if along with Metal Gear Solid 4 the Essentials Collection was included making this the Metal Gear Solid Bundle. What a missed opportunity

Wouldn't it be cool if Snake was a hologram on PS3 box and when you look straight at it he's hidden in the black background but when you move the box left or right he is revealed.

well, i just splooged my pants. its widely speculated that snake won't be old for all the game. because all we've seen is the middle east portion of the game, and i believe there was an article that said the game would take place in 5 different ones.

I know it won't happen, but Sony would clean house with this bundle if they did.

Well, I was going to sell my 60GB to my bro-in-law but I told my sister to tell him about this deal, he may want this one instead. I was going to throw in a few games and also charge $500. Now that this deal is going to be coming out, he may want this instead. He doesn't play action games so maybe I could trade him a couple old games for MGS? :)
