How big is Metal Gear Solid 4? The correct answer is, "big enough to get two hardware bundles."
That's just what Sony and Konami are preparing for the game over in Japan. Konami already unveiled the first MGS4 bundle a few weeks back. Today, Sony unveiled the PlayStation 3 Metal Gear Solid 4 Guns of the Patriots Welcome Box with Dual Shock 3, a package that bundles the standard version of MGS4 with a standard 40 gigabyte PS3 unit and throws in a DUALSHOCK 3 controller to complement the included SIXAXIS.
Sony will be making the bundle available in Clear Black, Ceramic White, and Satin Silver, with the included Dual Shock 3 matching the system's color. Pricing is set at 49,980 yen, a savings of around 4,480 yen over the price of buying the Dual Shock 3, PS3 and a copy of MGS4 separately.
The Konami bundle, known as the game's Premium Pack, includes the game's Special Edition, a special "steel" color of the PS3 system, and a Dual Shock 3, all for 51,800 yen. It's missing the SIXAXIS, but it has the bonus goodies from the Special Edition of the title.
All bundles and variations will be available in Japan on June 12.
