Metal Gear PSP bundles exposed

This holiday, Sony and Konami will dangle a pair of enticing Metal Gear-branded PSP bundles in front of Japanese consumers' faces. A camo-painted PSP with matching snakeskin-patterned case and strap, and a copy of Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops will be hard to pass up, even if the asking price is ¥39,690 ($338) -- 'dat real snakeskin?

A more value-priced bundle will also be available, replacing the snakeskin accessories with blander offerings for a mere ¥29,190 ($248). Aside from memory sticks, both bundles are also missing the GPS add-on, which Portable Ops makes use of.
