This coming June, American gamers will be able to pick up an 80-gig Sony PlayStation 3, a single DualShock 3 controller, and a copy of the hotly-anticipated Metal Gear Solid 4 at a price point of $499.99 US. If anyone was already planning on eventually picking up a PS3 and MGS4, then it just got a little cheaper.

Aujourdhui a commence avec toi.

Surely you mean MGS4.

Logical move. Put the console's first big game in a bundle with the improved controller.

Yeah, I did. I'm not a fan of Metal Gear and mixed my numbers up. So sue me.

This can't possibly be true. MGS4 is the PS3's first big game?

It's been what, 2 years since it was released? O.o

I'll be honest and say that none of the games out for the PS3 look appealing enough to actually go out and buy it. I'm willing to wait for the PS3 to drop prices (perhaps even substantially) before I go and get it like I did with the PS2. Metal Gear Solid 4 is one of those games that I'd think a lot of people would wait for to purchase the PS3. The only other game I would think worthy of getting the console for is the PS3 Final Fantasies.

Although slightly off-topic, all three Metal Gear Solid games are being bundled together for the PS2 in a compilation called the "Essential Collection."

Ugh, I'm sick of things that says "essential". It's not essential.

My friend's been pretty much living in my flat for the past week playing MGS3 through again for the umpteenth time. I watch it at intervals and it's getting me interested in MGS4 again. I'm looking forward to it. Kojima makes me laugh. "A Hideo Kojima Game" on the front of the case is so unnecessary. "The Only Hideo Kojima Game" would be more appropriate. Why do he insist on trying to make his game so prestigious? It makes him look silly in my eyes.

Scepticism, that dry rot of the intellect, had not left one entire idea in his mind.

^^ Now they tell us that this MGS4 package comes with a "gunmetal gray" PS3. It looks really neat.

Looks pretty nice.
I wonder how many PS3s this game is going to end up selling?
Should mean plenty of people to play Metal Gear Online against!
