Rawr Rwr Rar! MGS4 sucks! PS3 sucks! Flame flame flame!

Now that that is out of the way, I too am excited for MGS4 if for no other reason than it means someone in this freaking building will finally bring a PS3 over and I can try one out.
On another note, I never finished any of the Metal Gear games I played and don't know the story very well. Can anyone point out to me someplace on the web that has a good and simple explanation of the story thus far? Please don't say wikipedia. Already read that but it feels like Im missing stuff.

Why, no other than the metal gear wiki will do. Its where I've been doing all my research.

http://metalgear.wikia.com/wiki/Metal_Gear_Solid

In other news, I'll be getting this bundle:



Which means, yes, I will have 2 PS3's

It's a bundle, what's the big deal? Personally I wouldn't want the huge Solid Snake picture on the top of my PS3. Unless somebody was jus trying to be artistic and that is supposed to be a reflection..... Even if it is, then it would be nowhere near as ridiculous looking as this:

I'll stick to my black PS3 as it matches everything in my current entertainment center. The LE PS3 looks nice, but I don't know if I would want to look at that color for the next few years.

Thanks man!
@fudge- The peopl who would buy the bundle are people like me that have been waiting to buy a PS3 until now and plan on getting MGS4. Besides I having a different than normal looking console is a big plus in my book.

Actually Snake's picture isn't going to be on top of the PS3. It's just going to say "Metal Gear Solid 4" on the side somewhere. What you're seeing is just a reflection of the Snake figure.

No. I'm pretty sure its a copy of the Japanese one, which was a 40gb.

As for the the 80GB, its just a reflection. And rainless, I don't think its going to say anything special on it - I'm pretty sure its just a typical 80GB packed in with MGS4 and a Dual Shock 3.

hmmm i guess i got over excited for nothing. I really though they are going to have soild snake's image on the console.

http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3167339

First announced in February, the bundle will include the 80GB PlayStation 3 hardware, Metal Gear Solid 4, and a DualShock 3 controller for a retail price of $499. As noted in the blog post, the bundle packaging breaks from the traditional black-heavy scheme used for previous PlayStation 3 hardware releases in North America.

However, it will not be the only Metal Gear Solid 4 hardware bundle released in North America. Sony also revealed today that it will release a "very, very Limited Edition" gunmetal grey PlayStation 3 hardware bundle (system pictured below), though further details on its availability and contents were not revealed. The post mentions a "very special surprise" coming to the PlayStation.Blog on Monday, April 14th, so stay tuned for what may be additional details on the LE bundle (or something else entirely).



It's gun metal. In other words, Titanium color, or somewhat grey color.
