MGS4 Possible Release Date and new PS3 Bundle

jmac353 | February 26, 2008 | News | Playstation 3

It's rumor that the official release date is now scheduled for June 12, 2008 but in all honesty, I wouldn't get your hopes up just in case it ends up not happening. Even though I'm a huge MGS fan i've learned to just be patient and not jump all over every "leaked" or "rumored" release date. It'll get released eventually, there are no worries.

The bigger news to me is that Sony might be offering a new PS3 bundle which includes an 80GB PS3, MGS4, and a Dual Shock 3 controller all in one box. I would assume that if another version of the PS3 gets announced, since they're dropping the 80gb, that will take the place of the 80gb in this bundle. And trust me, the Dual Shock 3 controller is well worth it, more weight and the best vibration feedback of any controller available.

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.

We're checking with Konami for official word on the matter and will update with additional information soon.

I doubt they would release it on such short notice.

  Do you say short notice simply because there isn't a lot of media out there for MGS4? That's typical MGS fashion, they keep these games so tightly under wraps when they get released everyone is surprised by what the games hold in store for them.

^{Well Sony has just announced that they are in fact going to offer an offer on MGS4 :

MGS4 + 80GB PS3 + Dualshock 3 Controller = $499

Not a bad deal if you ask me.

The article also states the release date as " Late Q2 2008 ", so I'm assuming that the date you have their is just a guesstimate at the moment.}

  That's a really good deal.
  
  I would have thumbed you up if you hadn't said 'guesstimate'

^ Woah, that's an awesome deal.

Oh, and June seems like ages away, even though it might be delayed again.

MGS4 was initially supposed to be out in late 2007, why should a June release date be surprising?
