Metal Gear Solid 4: the Limited Edition Gamestation watch photo

I know, you've lost your mind over Metal Gear Solid 4. You don't have a unique affliction, so at least you can share the obsession with others, but if you've finished the game and still find yourself hungry for more, I just might have the ticket for you.

Check out the Gamestation-exclusive MGS 4 watch, due to come out this October. It is limited to 500 pieces, comes wth a Konami certificate of authenticity, and was approved by Hideo Kojima himself. You can check out the full specs of the watch after the jump.

While it might not be a Rolex, it is pretty cool-looking, and will only set you back a mere $195 US (£99.99). Pricey, yeah, but if it helps to channel your inner Snake, it's all worth it.

[Editor's Note: It's been brought to my attention that this watch is a UK-only product. Sorry, US citizens ... you'll have to find some underhanded importer to help you out here.]

[Via Electricpig -- Thanks, Jonathan]

  • 316L Brushed stainless steel case and bracelet.

Design wise it really isn't all that. They just slapped the MGS4 Logo on it and that's it. No thanks.

Yojimbo is onthe money, while attractive, it doesn't warrant the price.

Too bad it doesn't give you the power to have 30 minute Codec conversations. Then I would eat it up.

Simple design, MGS4 logo, and Snaaaaake! box.

Hmm, now if the watch had an hourly announcement or alarm or something that made the codec sound THEN I would be excited. However, until then, it is approached with a heavy "meh".

Why can't it just say Metal Gear Solid? Why add the 4? What if a 5th game is released, huh? That would pretty much make this watch worthless then (IDK about the price value...).


Just think about it, guys.... Think about it.

Konami got me with the stupid 60$ Blue tooth which sucks monkey ass. They are not going to get me again. SPECIALLY not $200.

Honestly, it's pretty cool looking and $200 is damn cheap for a watch. I wish it were automatic instead of quartz movement, but I'll definitely look into importing one. It's no Rolex? You're damn right! Rolex = lame.

@brainderailment

the big dial on the side is usually built for special ops watches and stuff. I own an MTM watch and all of theirs are built for the marine in combat situation fellas.so they want the wearer to be able to change the dial even if they are wearing large gloves which would normally be impossible to deal with smaller dials if you wore such gloves.aesthetically they arent very eye pleasing but this watch isnt very nice looking to begin with anyways.

Just to clear this up: The "dial" is the face of the watch; not the knob on the side. The knob on the side is called the "crown."

@pedro:
"in fact they got the most! best limited edition bundle and the gunmetal ps3 and now this watch... "

We got the worst limited edition bundle (180 dollars for less than what the USA got) and we didn't get the gunmetal ps3. Our MGS4 bundle was a 40gb with sixaxis and the game. We didn't even get a special edition which means that 99% of the people that bought it didn't get any artbook or dvd or any sort of preorder bonus even.
This nasty looking watch that comes out 5 months after the game doesn't really make up for it. Who pays 200 dollars for a game amd game shop branded watch?

Released in the UK instead of the USA...can't be!

Finally something we UK gamers get first (and perhaps exclusively). This almost makes up for no UK gunmetal PS3, or special edition.

Actually, on second thoughts... no it doesn't.
