Euro MGS4 PS3 bundle sucks even harder: No gunmetal grey for Europeans

Europe: Getting fucked over by the gaming industry since the dawn of time.

I know the price of the gun metal bundle is enough to make me not buy it in America, I can't imagine how much they'd charge if it did make it over there. This does suck though. I just want to find a PS3 to play MGS 4 on, I'm tired of having to study for a damn doctoral exam to understand what comes with each bundle and which sku can do what.

I am not connected to the video game industry in any way, shape, or form outside of the fact that I play the games they produce, but all the same, on behalf of American gamers who don't have to tolerate this sort of bullshit: I'm sorry, Euro gamers.

Hey Europe,

If it’s any consolation, the gunmetal gray limited edition PS3 bundle isn’t going to be nearly worth the price of admission by my calculations:

MGS 4 Special Edition PS3 Bundle
glossy black 80 GB PS3 (it includes software-based BC, 4 USB ports, and the flash media readers — SD, CompactFlash, MemoryStick), MGS 4, and a DualShock 3 controller
$499

MGS 4 Limited Edition PS3 Bundle
gunmetal gray 40 GB PS3 (no PS2 BC, but it'll still play PS1 games; 2 USB ports; no flash media readers), the Special Edition of MGS 4 (retail price $84.99), and a Sixaxis controller
$599

In other words, it makes ZERO sense to pick up the LE bundle just for a different color.

hahahahahahaha
ahahahahahaha
ahahaaahahahahaha
ahahaha
ha
ahah :D

@Samit, I knew it was a rip off but that's absurd.

Keep snorting pixie dust Sony. Please. Just as long as it's making one of us feel better, that's great.

I didn't realize the gunmetal was the 40GB. We are all getting screwed.

If the color was the only difference I'd go with the black one anyway. But if Samit Sarkar is right then the black one will have larger hard drive, 2 extra USB ports and backwards compatibility for 100$ less, I'd go for that one even if it only gets me a sixaxis.

I knew this was going to happen. it just cost way too much to import ps3(still labeled as a gaming electronic) for sale in the Europe. so I kinda knew the limited edition would int be included over there since they are getting the bundle. it's just not cost effective.

BECOME A PC GAMER. THE PC INDUSTRY DOES NOT TREAT EUROPE LIKE UNWANTED SHIT.

Wow, this news is soooooooo wrong. Where do you guys get your information.

You guys are getting it.

Maybe you guys need to recheck your information.

Stop your whining Jim Sterling.

I'm sorry jim, I'm really, really sorry.

I'm in America, and shit like this pisses the HELL out of me.

The discontinued controller is ridiculous, however while I'd normally sympathize and say that the other part sucks - different color paint jobs on consoles driving up price is complete shit.

@ Jim Sterling

why are you crying for ??? you should be happy ... a negative news about the PS3 :)
