Sony Computer Entertainment America has revealed that a new PlayStation 3 SKU will be hitting retail shelves to accompany the release of Konami’s Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots.
The new bundle will have a “gunmetal grey” colorway console, a copy of the game, and “very, very Limited edition” packaging, according to Sony.
Besides the latest bundle, Sony will also be resurrecting the 80GB PS3 for an MGS4 bundle and that bundle will include a PS3 DualShock 3 controller and the game.
As another added incentive, consumers that pre-order the game will receive a free Metal Gear Saga Vol. 2 DVD and “a voucher for access to the Metal Gear Online beta trials.”

Now that GTA IV has launched, undoubtedly the most anticipated new game for the PlayStation 3 is Metal Gear Solid 4 . As a way to tie in the hype to sales, Sony had previously announced that they would be bringing a limited edition Gunmetal PlayStation 3 bundle that will include the game as well as the new colorway.
As the games June release date approaches both Sony and Konami have released some specifications about the limited edition bundle and its standard 80GB model bundle.
The gunmetal grey 40GB model will feature the exclusive colorway, and will come with “a soundtrack and a Blu-ray disc with a behind-the-scenes documentary.”
The standard black-finish 80GB model will only include a free download of the Pain minigame from the online store as an added feature. Of course the 80GB model has backwards compatibility for PS2 titles, which is not available on the 40GB model.
The limited edition bundle will retail for $600 USD while the standard edition bundle will be available for $500 USD.
