[bandit]

To go along with the news we posted about the Dual Shock 3 being released in the US in April, here is some more news about MGS4 for the PS3 and God of war for the PSP:

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots PS3 Bundle
To coincide with the much-anticipated North American launch of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots in late Q2 2008, SCEA will introduce a PS3 bundle, which will include an 80GB PS3, the upcoming blockbuster Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, and a DUALSHOCK 3 wireless controller for $499.99 (MSRP).

As has been announced previously, MGS4 will include a Metal Gear Online “Starter Pack.” If you can’t wait to try out MGS4, the good news is you don’t have to much longer. Those who pre-order the game will be guaranteed access to a multiplayer beta test for Metal Gear Online scheduled for late April.

God of War PSP Entertainment Pack
In June, a new PSP Entertainment Pack will be hitting stores, featuring the famous face of the Ghost of Sparta — Kratos. Here’s what you get in the bundle, which will be available for $199.99 (MSRP):

* Limited-Edition “Deep Red” PSP with Kratos silkscreened on the back
* God of War: Chains of Olympus
* Superbad on UMD video
* Voucher to download Syphon Filter: Combat Ops from PLAYSTATION Store for free

God of War: Chains of Olympus still arrives for PSP on March 4, 2008.

That figures. Its just a different battery cover slapped on. Just like the Star Wars Battlefront bundle. If you are a die-hard Slim PSP user like me, you will get the STAMINA battery with the larger battery cover to compensate. Although the fatter battery covers only come in black and silver as far as I know.

Sony should allow the option to purchase the custom battery covers in the larger size as well. And in more colors.

That color doesn't look like psp deep red, is like the spider man psp with the correct red background
