$160 Metal Gear Solid 4 Limited Edition
coffeesash | 2:43 AM on 05.13.2008 13 comments


in Europe at least. Complete with European rip-off price. Let's see what we get for our $160 (£80):

Metal Gear Solid 4 game (natch) worth £35 ($70)
MGS 4 soundtrack CD
6" Snake figure
Making-of Blu-ray disc

*record scratch noise*

is that it?

I believe the US version is the same but half the price and has a nice artbook instead of the figure. At this, most comments were "OMG no way am I paying an extra 20 dollars for that" how about paying an extra $90 for less?

It's not camoflage if you put 20 non camo pockets over the top

Would you pay $90 over the standard edition for a figure, a cd and a documentary?

Yeah it is ridiculous man

When I called up GAME to ask about their MGS4LE and they told me it would cost AU$159 I pretty much just said no and hung up.

Looks like another import for me.

no wonder snake stays in such good shape, LOOK AT ALL THE POCKETS!
how much do you think that shit weighs? 100 lbs? 200?

I think one has a bottle opener and another has a desert slicer. Picnics can bloom on the battlefield!

Yeah it sucks hence why Ill be going for the mild rip off of the normal version its only $100. I hate the UK :(!

The making-of sounds cool, but not nearly worth that much. The main thing I would want out of such a package is an art book, which is just going to end up as a gallery of pictures on one of the discs.

I don't care about any of the SE game crap.

I just want the gunmetal grey LE console. But theres NO info on it. Don't know when it comes out. Don't know who's selling it. Don't know how many there will be. Don't know how much it will cost. Really irritating.

I'd kinda take the figure over the artbook....but not by much.

I'd buy it. But...i'm in the US so we don't really get ripped off on the prices.

and Karin Avy? You win so much.
