Word from Destination PlayStation, a retailers-only conference for all things PlayStation related, is that Metal Gear Solid 4 is coming to the PlayStation 3 on June 12, 2008. According to sources there now, the release of Kojima Productions action-stealth game will arrive on a Thursday, oddly enough. Even more interesting is that we're hearing word that Sony will be offering a hardware bundle that features MGS4, an 80GB PlayStation 3 and a DualShock 3 packed-in.

sounds like a good bundle...

if they throw a price drop on top of it it we might actually see the PS3 start to make some strong moves.

To me thats pricedrop biggrin.gif

An 80GB has been $500 for a while now, and now you get it at the same price, plus Metal Gear Solid smile.gif Which saves you $60

I mean, thats a pretty technical way of looking at it smile.gif and wouldn't apply to people not wanting Metal Gear Solid, but is there such a person? Ive heard rumours of a couple people biggrin.gif

PS releases are always Fridays here.
This better not be screwed up when it is released. I expect it to be worth the wait and don't expect frame rate problems, slowdown or to have to install a 1.2GB patch to make it playable.
Release it late but test it correctly.

 It did; Motorstorm. Motorstorm can be found below retail in a lot of places, however. The Six Axis recieving a DS3 upgrade is nice. Still glad I didn't wait for them to introduce these to the US at their own pace, as the DS3 is leaps and bounds better than the SA, IMHO (mainly due to the fact that I can't stand the "weightless" presentation of the SA).

 Don't forget the MGS 1-3 (will include Substance and Subsistance; sans-online) collection is being released for $30 real soon, so the fact that the 80GB console is part of the pack means it'll be able to play these, as well.
