Don't get this mixed up with the Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots 80GB PlayStation 3 Bundle shown here:
Sony Japan has just announced yet another PS3 bundle called the Metal Gear Solid 4 Welcome Box. It will include a 40GB PlayStation 3 console, one SIXAXIS controller, a "vanilla" copy of the MGS4 game AND a DualShock 3. On top of that, the bundle will be available in all three Japanese colors: black, white, and silver. So technically, Japan will be getting three versions of this bundle in addition to the other two MGS4 80GB PS3 bundles - which makes a whopping FIVE bundles. WTF. Anyway, the Metal Gear Solid 4 Welcome Box will release day-in-date with the game on June 12 and will retail for ¥49,800 ($475). Visit Kotaku for the actual press release and photos of the other two versions of the bundle.
Originally said to be only available in Japan, Sony has officially confirmed that the Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots Limited Edition PlayStation 3 Hardware Bundle will also be available in the United States (in VERY,VERY,......VERY limited quantites)! Sony has not announced pricing details. Stay tuned...
Like I said, Japanese gamers always get a better deal. According to yet another scan from Japanese gaming mag Famitsu, the Japanese Metal Gear Solid 4 PlayStation 3 Bundle will include a "Steel"-colored PlayStation 3 console! It will be priced at a whopping ¥51,800 (US $534)! Click here for a high-res shot of the scan...
Famitsu also revealed the following Japanese prices for the other editions of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots...
- Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots: Standard Edition - ¥8,800 (US $91)
- Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots: Special Edition - ¥9,800 (US $101)

By the way, did you know all Sony PlayStation 3s are region-free? One word: IMPORT.
Van originally posted about this story, but I bet most of you still think it's a rumor. Well, here's the photo, bitch.
The highly-anticipated bundle includes the 80GB (partially backward compatible) PlayStation 3, one DualShock 3 controller, and of course Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. As Van said, it will retail for MSRP $499.99 and will be on shelves on June 12th, 2008.
