Big Metal Gear Solid News
At a recent Playstation Retail event lots of information was given for the upcoming Playstation Exclusive, Metal Gear Solid 4. Among other things, the release date was given as well as some special incentives for those who pre-order. Much more info, as well as the release date are after the break.
So you want the release date? Well you’re going to have to wait. Recently SONY and many retailers started to run out of 80 GB PS3 units; many wondered why? Well now we know: coming the same day as MGS4 is released is a bundle of the game. It comes with an 80 GB unit [BC not confirmed], MGS4, and a DUALSHOCK 3 controller with SIXAXIS. It is going to retail at US$499.99.

Those of you hoping to get this long awaited game had better pre order as soon as possible because it will sell out on launch. If you already pre ordered, good for you but more people might want to pre order A.S.A.P. because of a special incentive. As you all may know, MGS4 will contain a “starter pack” of the online only game Metal Gear Online, and with online there comes “Beta” tests. If you pr eorded the game you are guaranteed a beta trial ticket, just as people who pre ordered Crackdown got a Beta of HALO 3. The Beta is expected to be released in Mid April.
So, finally I can give you the release date. I know I was hyping the date to the extreme but if I was you I wouldn’t read anything except for the date. Here it is: June 12, 2008 [yes, this year].
Start your countdown clocks fan boys!
