Not sure if this is old news, but it's new to me.
I was looking at Sony's retail site and came across this, a new 80GB model PS3 with a DualShock 3 and Metal Gear Solid 4 bundled in. At first, I thought it was the limited edition MGS4 version, but that's being sold exclusively through Konami's site, and the included swag is different.
I went to Gamestop earlier today and asked the employees about it; they confirmed through their computer it's a new retail model, and will be available alongside MGS4 on June 12.
So for anyone who hasn't picked up a PS3 yet (like some of us poor suckers in the GTA4 thread...) I advise you to wait a month and get this package. $500 for for an 80GB PS3, one of the three best games of the year, and a $60 controller is a steal.

There was speculation about a package like this. Definitely a good draw for people without PS3's or don't mind that it isn't the Gamestop exclusive limited edition of MGS4.
-
Gamestop's version of MGS4 is different from Konami's edition which is different from this bundle.
Sony's really banking on MGS4. Can't blame them at all. -
ive been planning on buying this bundle for a couple months.
what comes with the special editions btw? -
its old news but who cares. Not everyone knows about it. :wink2:
I was looking to get a PS3 but was told by others to wait for this great deal.
1 month left :yes: -
No, Gamestop's limited edition version of MGS4 is exactly the same as Konami's edition.

Yep...this is kind of old news but Great news none the less.
I plan on getting one finally not long after this bundle comes out...
Good things come to those who wait...:up: -
i passed on the special edition when i put my deposit down. unless it changes the game itself, then i dont care so much.
-
Konami's version is a new color, gunmetal gray.
-
I was talking about the game itself, not the console. The console could be barf color for all I care.
-
if youre talking about the system its only a 40gb PS3.
too pricey for a different color @ $599 not including shipping -
Agreed. It's probably a way for Sony to clear out backlogged 40GB units. IMO, this new 80GB model will be the way to go.
