So I posted a while back about how awesome the Metal Gear Solid 4 Bundle was going to be. Since the game’s release is getting closer, Konami has officially announced the contents of the bundle.
Now rather than the package coming with an 80GB PS3, it will be coming with a 40GB PS3, which features a lack of backwards compatibility. Sign me up! But wait–there’s more! the rumored price tag of $499.99 has been slashed to a robust $599.99.
So again let us break down the contents to decide if this is a good deal:
| Product | Retail Price | Bundle Price |
| Metal Gear Solid 4 Limited Edition | $84.99 | $100.00 |
| Dual Shock III Controller | $54.99 | $100.00 |
| 40 GB Playstation 3 | $399.99 | $399.99 |
| Total Price | $539.97 | $599.99 |
So what about this bundle gives you an extra $60.02 incentive? I have no idea, all I know is I won’t be purchasing it come June 12th.
*NOTE* Purchasing the package in individual parts will get you an extra Sixaxis controller. Also, Gamestops do NOT take reservations on the MGS4 Bundle, but they DO take them on the Limited Edition version of the game.

Recent Accomplishment: I ran out of damn treasure keys… I guess I will have to start hunting treasure hands.
Does anyone else totally love the fox? I pretty much give him all my money but it’s worth it.
- Roy: I think it would be awesome if the entire game was woodland creatures fending off humans. Possibly rednecks...
- Kabling: Maybe the website and logo were bad on purpose? I don’t know
… - Sophie: But what better way to spend our meagre sums than on armoured helms? We’ll look so...
- Foxes: Replace the main guy with a beaver carrying an enormous book instead and I’d play it
- Foxes: Don’t bring my room into this
I LOVE USELESS CRAP ESPECIALLY 1/1 SCALE ARMORED HELMS
This is not the only MGS4 bundle!
There will be two bundles: one with a black 80 gig system and the normal version of the game for $499, and this version for $599. The Silver/expensive one will only be available online, and will be extremely limited, whereas the normal bundle will be available everywhere.
You’d have to be pretty crazy to get the Limited bundle, but the normal one is still an awesome deal.
Ah I see that you’re indeed right. I am working on a correction post. Thanks for the heads-up.
