Limited edition Metal Gear Solid 4 PS3 heads to Japan's Outer Haven

On June 12th, 2008 there'll be no place to hide from the release of the gunmetal MGS4 PS3. Well no place except every single country other than japan where the ¥51,800 (about $520) limited edition console will exclusively launch. That wad of Yen nabs the limited edition 40GB console with a Metal Gear Solid 4 Guns of the Patriots software bundle and like-colored DualShock 3 controller. How you like that, Ol' Snake?

Nietzche @ Mar 21st 2008 6:59AM
mmm, looks nice.
maybe this will be at least a little bit more fingerprint-resistant than the piano-black one..
gerbick @ Mar 21st 2008 7:27AM
Great. Now this makes me want to send in my PS3 to Colorware even more...
Sean Jackson @ Mar 21st 2008 8:11AM
It's Outter Heaven.
Matthew @ Mar 21st 2008 3:09PM
Actually you're an idiot. The main event in MGS4 will take place in an area being code named Outer Haven by liquid Ocelot. A throwback to his Idol "Father" and his creation of Outer Heaven
rodcadneo @ Mar 21st 2008 8:33AM
we want this Limited edition Metal in europe also!!!
CUBSWILLWIN @ Mar 21st 2008 8:39AM
yea yea we know that. USA would like a piece of it to you know. But that's Sony and Japan for you
ssuk @ Mar 21st 2008 1:16PM
Fuck that, give us the Ceramic White PS3 and then worry about this horrible coloured PS3.
zunq @ Mar 21st 2008 8:45AM
If they don't do this in the USA, I may never buy a PS3. So please Sony do it!
Flashpoint @ Mar 21st 2008 10:10AM
Buy a PS3 from a Japanese import store. We have them in NYC in China town.
I might sell em on Ebay.
CUBSWILLWIN @ Mar 21st 2008 12:40PM
Same in Chicago China town. Never really bother to go there regularly though.
ssuk @ Mar 21st 2008 1:17PM
Good luck finding a site which has the balls to import you a PS3 to Europe, the Lik-Sang incident has everyone shittin' themselves about future lawsuits over importing Sony products to Europe.
Noshino @ Mar 21st 2008 1:28PM
ssuk,
as far as it has been reported, there were other issues about the Lik-Sang case that cause Sony to act the way they did

linkbeat @ Mar 21st 2008 9:21AM
Japan only? Wow, imagine that.
Piranjah @ Mar 21st 2008 9:39AM
Plz Sony bring this one to Europe?:-) I will buy it immediately:-)
Poom @ Mar 21st 2008 10:04AM
I would think there will be some image printed on the PS3 like the God of War PSP.
Dahk @ Mar 21st 2008 10:17AM
If you consider text an image, there is! "Metal Gear Solid 4 - Limited Edition"
I think that's way hotter than any other image. I'm usually about colour choices that stray from piano black, but this is pretty damn HAWT.
Don't bring to North America please or I'll be jealous =(.
Raheem @ Mar 21st 2008 10:21AM
I like how it's called the Premium pack. See link.
fred @ Mar 21st 2008 10:23AM
damn thats a nice ps3. cant wait for metal gear solid!!!
Sharakar @ Mar 21st 2008 10:25AM
If I see some1 with 3 of these and making another I have 3 ps3's movie on youtube ,I'll hack Interpol's servers and put him on the most wanted list
eugene @ Mar 21st 2008 11:30AM
That is right sexy. I wish these Japanese companies weren't so selfish with the love.
Eddie @ Mar 21st 2008 11:48AM
bleh!
Release a special version with ds3 in the US so I can buy it already! I want a blu-ray player t.t
ijyt @ Mar 21st 2008 12:02PM
oh that's nice.
But I already have the 60gb version.
Karan @ Mar 21st 2008 6:14PM
WANT.
tekdroid @ Mar 21st 2008 9:13PM
a non-gloss device in 2008. Has sanity prevailed?
michas_pi @ Mar 21st 2008 11:10PM
They forgot to process the image through Photoshop, forgive them.
Teddy @ Mar 21st 2008 11:55PM
I'll still get the MGS4 PS3 bundle even it has the glossy black unit. However, the smile I'll have going home would be bigger if the gunmetal/steel gray PS3 was in my box.
Well, at least we get 40 extra gigs and BC. Then again, 80 gigs, BC, MGS4, DS3 and a gray, no fingerprints unit would be sweet. Make my summer, Sony !!!
Demaar @ Mar 22nd 2008 2:53AM
40GB? This bundle lost any small amount of appeal it had.
Bishop @ May 2nd 2008 3:16PM
That's what I'm saying 40gig PS3? And for about $520? Am I missing something here?
I'm seeing 80gig systems (the one with all the extras that the 40gig doesn't have), plus a game (Motorstorm) for $499 or even less. Why on earth would anyone in their right mind want to pay more for less? Because it says limited edition on it? IMO, that's just as bad as the more expensive green limited edition Halo 3 Xbox360, well, at least this PS3 MGS edition comes with the game, but jeez...
davidsin @ Mar 22nd 2008 12:09PM
Can anyone notice the imprint on the unit saying,
METAL GEAR SOLID 4 LIMITED EDITION?..check out
http://www.games-asia.com/playstation3metalgearsolid4gunsofthepatriotslimitededition-p-3138.html
this unit rocks(this is gonna top anything I have)!
The colour is awesome. But does anyone know how many of these units they plan to release seeing that it is a Ltd Edition?
Ali @ Mar 25th 2008 7:35AM
I'm very interested in buying this, I have the money ready and willing to buy a PS3 very soon for summer. But can we have some info please?? Firstly, is the case still plastic or is it really made of steel metal? Is the voltage on this also 220 to work in the UK? The manual is probably Japanese, that's fine but is the actual menu and everything on the PS3 japanese only or is there english too?? Do normal PAL games from the UK work on this? What about movies? I thought the PS3 isnt region free or is it? Does it come with the Dual Shock 3 controller and MGS4 game? Game is Japanese or PAL?
Chris @ Apr 11th 2008 5:54PM
Will this be worth anything in the future un-opened?
