WOW @ 600 bucks. It can't even play ps2 games. Not much of a deal when you think about it, 400 bucks for 40GB 85 bucks for limited edition and then another 50 bucks for DS3. That is still less than 600 bucks. What a rip off

LOL, My initial reaction was "Ohhhh that's sick" then I saw it was a 40gig for $600 and it was "Meh". Still Gunmetal Grey is sexy...

yep... $65 extra for the exclusive gun metal gray color... no word yet on the possibilities of getting a second matching DS3 either..
I still want one but my biggest issue is the fact its a 40gb with 2 usb ports. My second issue is that gamestop is having a Midnight release for MGS4 and i don't want to wait for the mail man so i can get my game on... i still have some time to think about it

It's a special, very rare, very limited edition of the PS3. How is it a rip off? You know sometimes sonarus, you don't make any sense.

1.5 - @Sonarus, This is a LIMITED EDITION (meaning limted quantities, which makes it more expensive)
And has the limted edition MGS4 game inside (not the standard MGS4 game).

The piano black 80GB bundle with (the standard) MGS4 game is $499.99 for North America with a Dualshock 3. Buy that one bro, but everyone would snap it up if it were any cheaper.

It's super limited, but will sell regardless.

Watch. :)

Yea i know its limited and i'm sure they will sell out of the pre orders fairly quickly. I hope the 80GB bundle isn't as limited. The point of having MGS4 is to get more ppl to buy PS3's not less.

@eagle 21. I'm sorry for confusing people i'm pretty confused myself. There was a rumor that it would be extremely limited. Plus sony isn't releasing details on it.

The $499.99 MGS4 80GB bundle is NOT LIMITED. It will replace the Motorstorm 80GB bundle in North America and will most likely sell through Christmas.

Why are you confusing people?

Very limited? Good. Try to drive up the demand by limiting the supply. I'm not bashing it but if you're not MGS4 obsessed you really would make out better just opting for a 60gig (still can be found on auction sites), a DS3, and the game.

I guarantee you, that Sony will keep selling these until sells slow down. They are saying that this is limited and one that sell out they will be gone, to hype the public into buying this product ASAP.

I must admit, Sony is truly genius in some of the things they do. They really know how to play their fanbase. I wonder do they have a staff member whose only job is to study human behaviors and buying habits.

If they wanted it to be truly limited edition baddass, they could have done 100-120 meg with software BC, and threw in 2 DS3 controllers for 600 bucks.

1.11 - Unless you're a die
hard metal gear fan and, get a major hard on for grey PS3's, this is a little over priced. I'm sure it will sell as it's supposed to be limited but, if I wanted a PS3 with this game, I would just get the Sony bundle with the 80 gig.

Hey, at least it's not as bad as those $300 limited edition DS's in Japan.

You know you can use a USB HUB right? So really it wouldn't matter.

1.14 - Should have 2 controllers
1 gunmetal controller and 1 black controller (if u decide to purchase a 2nd controller) would look weird.

i agree w/ you sonarus... it's a ripoff.

That's $100 too much considering it's only a 40gb ps3.

Quoted "Highly Limited Edition Bundle Includes Gun Metal Gray 40GB PLAYSTATION®3 Computer Entertainment System With Matching Controller And Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots Limited Edition Game"

..look at the picture again..

P.S. the console is not made of real metal... neither is the DS3

Agreed. The sony one is better imo. I hope it goes on sale in all retailers and isn't limited like this one. This is a huge opportunity to sell a lot of PS3's and they better not blow it.
