Steel PS3 readied for Japan MGS4 launch

Japanese get ANOTHER new PS3 colour for Snake's final quest, the gits
Japan's special edition Metal Gear Solid 4 bundle will come packed with a PS3 in a nice new skin, when it launches in June.

The new grey-ish coloured "Steel" PS3, so dubbed by Famitsu magazine, bundled with MGS4 will go for 51,800 Yen (which converts as £263.70 - far cheaper than it would actually be if released here).

The game itself, reports Kotaku, will retail for 8,800 Yen (£45) and 9,800 Yen (£50) for the standard and special edition versions respectively.

There's no word on a UK launch but we expect there to be "no plans". An educated guess.

I wonder if Sony realise how beneficial it would be to release an PS3 & MGS4 pack over here.

This doesn't really surprise me, especially now Phil Harrison's gone. Sony need to improve their relationship with European customers.

Global domination from a special edition that's only available in the far east..errr I think your missing the point.

We get jipped AGAIN by a Japanese company.

Still, if I'm being honest, I'd prefer to see a price cut over here for the PS3 rather than another colour to choose from. I like the look of the black one anyway.

PS. I realise your original comment was probably just fanboy bait, and yes, you got me! Laughing

As soon as they release "My horsey and me"

Seriously though I may buy a ps3 for MGS4, it's one of the only reasons I can think of.
Take that fanboys!

I'm willing to bet MGS4 will be the biggest thing outside GTAIV
