It's been a few hours since the games industry took a sh*t on Europe, so I'd say we're
due for another story about how we get the shaft, wouldn't you? We already talked about how the
Metal Gear Solid 4 PS3 bundle
would omit the DualShock 3 controller for Europeans, but the gimping of the deal hasn't stopped there -- we will be getting no limited edition PlayStation 3 either.
While American readers can be safe in the knowledge that they will have DualShock 3s and gunmetal grey PlayStations, we Europeans will be shortchanged with standard Sixaxis controllers and bog-standard black hardware. Konami has said that Europe "won't ever" get the special grey PS3.
And gamers in this territory should pay European prices for this ... why, exactly?

You Euros gotta start getting loud. REAL loud. Give the video game industry what for!
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.
ahahahahahaha
ahahaaahahahahaha
ahahaha
ha
ahah :D
baahahhahahahaaa
...
Yes, yes they are.
Granted, at least it saves any indecision about picking one up when it was somewhat gimped anyway.

According to play.com
