Metal Gear Solid 4 Bundle

thePJA · 02-26-2008, 11:39 PM

So today I was reading our store informer at work, and I saw something amazing.

There's going to be a PS3 bundle pack with MGS4, 80gb PS3, and a DualShock 3 controller. I personally find this to be incredible news, discuss.

BTW, Sony: Metal Gear Solid 4 PS3 Bundle Announced

Like I said on another forum, this tells me EXACTLY when I'm gonna pick up a PS3

80 gig PS3, dual shock 3, and MGS4 for 500 dollars? Sold!

How much are they overcharging? I don't give a damn about the PS3 so I don't know current prices.

The PS3 is currently 500 dollars for 80 gigs, the original controller, and motorstorm

This bundle offers the same ps3 with the new dual shock 3 and a copy of MGS4 for the same price.

it's a like a dream come true, only i have to pay $500 more.

excellent deal though. first time a system has been bundled with something this awesome since Mario World.

This is quite an amazing deal. Plus wow the 80GB lives! Lots thought it was completely discontinued.

hopefully with the same backward compatibility

this will be mine!

Hardware or software backward thingie?

Geschpooklichkeit · 02-27-2008, 03:17 PM

The PR said "some backward compatibility" so I would assume it's in software.

LAMBORGHINI FCUKER · 02-27-2008, 03:55 PM

The "some" is due to MGS3 in some FMVs and rendering slowing down.

**helix eternal** · 02-27-2008, 04:36 PM

Also, PS1 games are compatible with the software.

And of course it's the software, they ditched the hardware a looooong time ago so they could drop the price of the system by $100

The software backwards compatibility works perfectly for 99% of games.

Anyhow, I was hoping this was referring to some sort of bundle that DIDN'T include a PS3. I already got one at Christmastime :/

congratulations sony, youve made me consider buying a PS3.

if not just for the blu-ray now that HD-DVD tanked for sure.

Well, this is certainly tempting... but... it's one game. I'm not sure what else I'd play for it.
