Gako Alarm Clock

If you played Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, this little guy should look familiar. It’s Sunny’s Ga-ko alarm clock that she uses to make her trademark eggs. In true ultra-merchandising style, Konami decided to produce the clock for the public. It will be available in Japan on July 31st at the price of about 3,000 yen, or roughly $30.

In game Play-Asia.com will be selling the clock to westerners at a yet unknown (but certainly higher) price. You can check that out here. I will try and keep tabs on when a pre-order is available.
Customers in Japan who pre-order Ga-ko get this spiffy cell phone strap as an added bonus. This would help make the high price tag a bit more manageable in my opinion, but I doubt Play-Asia will be including this accessory.

You can check out the official Konamistyle page for Ga-ko here, there is also a short video highlighting the clock’s features here. It doesn’t look like the timer is set in the same fashion as the game, but hey, you can’t have everything

If you’re not sure who or what a Ga-ko is, this site may help a bit.

      I’ve been dying to play MGS 4. I bought the special edition on launch even though I don’t even own a PS3 yet. Yeah I know, retarded.

      I’m holding out for the 400 dollar 80GB to come out in September.

      Yea I was holding out specifically for the MGS4 PS3 bundle. The game, 80GB hard drive and Dual Shock 3 controller for $499.99. Nice deal, although I didn’t get the special edition content which I am sure is awesome.
      If you played the other games I am sure you’ll enjoy MGS4.
