hell you should be glad kojima is gracing you foul insolents with his game at all
damn man, why do they all keep fucking Europe over???
(gun)METAL, IT COMES FROM HELL
Europe: Getting fucked over by the gaming industry since the dawn of time.
Who needs gun metal when you got vanilla white!..... we still get that bundle right?
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.
But who still buys retail games in Europe when you can leverage the week US dollar and import them saving at least €20 (including shipping)?
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.
Wow. First Nintendo BSes their way through Europe's Brawl delay, then the whole refurbished 360 rumor, and not this?
You Euros gotta start getting loud. REAL loud. Give the video game industry what for!
Hey Europe,
Vote with your money. STOP buying their overpriced junk, I you all buy it, they will continue to overprice. Simple as that.
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
$599
In other words, it makes ZERO sense to pick up the LE bundle just for a different color.
I didn't even realise that it was supposed to be a limited edition PS3. It doesn't really even look that different.
hahahahahahaha
ahahahahahaha
ahahaaahahahahaha
ahahaha
ha
ahah :D
I used to feel sorry for you guys...but now it's just funny.
baahahhahahahaaa
@Samit, I knew it was a rip off but that's absurd.
This is karma for appeasing Hitler.
Keep snorting pixie dust Sony. Please. Just as long as it's making one of us feel better, that's great.
So um Jim...when are you planning on moving across the pond? Sucks for the Euro gamers that might have been looking forward to this. But I read on the cblogs that Konami's site doesn't even let you order it, instead it gives you an error part of the way through the pre-order process.
I didn't realize the gunmetal was the 40GB. We are all getting screwed.
I'm having an extremely difficult time reconciling what potential logic they could have made use of in these decisions but I would have better luck getting Jack Thompson to praise gaming. What is with Sony Europe? I live in Canada and am not affected by this but that doesn't mean I don't feel for my European brethren. This is all just completely unacceptable and illogical. Is Sony Europe run by a bunch of mental defectives or something?
...
Yes, yes they are.
If the color was the only difference I'd go with the black one anyway. But if Samit Sarkar is right then the black one will have larger hard drive, 2 extra USB ports and backwards compatibility for 100$ less, I'd go for that one even if it only gets me a sixaxis.
There is no reason for that bullshit. What, is the gray paint made of stem cells? Also rumble tech is fetus heads on motors.
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.
Ngh. Seriously, is it really that hard to ship some in grey? Really?
Granted, at least it saves any indecision about picking one up when it was somewhat gimped anyway.
BECOME A PC GAMER. THE PC INDUSTRY DOES NOT TREAT EUROPE LIKE UNWANTED SHIT.
This isn't really that big of a deal, though the omission of the DualShock 3 is a pain. Good thing I don't live there!
Wow, this news is soooooooo wrong. Where do you guys get your information.
Europe is getting the grey metal ps3 bundle
According to play.com
http://www.play.com/Games/PlayStation3/4-/5601357/Sony-Playstation-3-PS3-Gun-Metal-Grey-Console-+-40GB-HDD-+-MGS4/Product.html
You guys are getting it.
Maybe you guys need to recheck your information.
Stop your whining Jim Sterling.
Im so mad, you just know some poor wanker will lose hundreds on this stupid box who dont know much about the industry and how were gettting shafted again.
Fuck it when i go america i bring back a PS3, its all region free right?
I'm sorry jim, I'm really, really sorry.
Well that seals it really. Not getting a PS3 for MGS4s release. I refuse to get a PS3 until it has a Dualshock 3 in the box and BC.
I'm in America, and shit like this pisses the HELL out of me.
Who would buy the gray version anyway? The 80gb deal is a better deal overall and the one anyone should pick up anyway.
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.
Samit hit it right on the noggin.
This is not really considered a good FU EUROPE like we normally see.
@ Jim Sterling
why are you crying for ??? you should be happy ... a negative news about the PS3 :)
