Well, the gunmetal edition has been announced on the Konami website:
Regular bundle pack:
Cost: $500
Memory: 80 gig
Included: MGS4 regular edition, (2) documentaries, 16-track soundtrack
Accessories: (1) Dualshock 3 controller
Addditional features: Backwards emulation for 85% of PS2 games
Limited Edition bundle pack:
Cost: $599+shipping
Memory: 40 gig
Included: MGS4 Limited edition, (2) documentaries, 16-track soundtrack
Accessories: (1) Dualshock 3 controller
Addditional features: Gunmetal finish
I think you can see what's the better deal, CAG's.
Think about this: You're paying for the exact same console as the current standard 40 gig, with a $60 game thrown in and a slightly more expensive controller. Does it justify the roughly $130 extra for a differently shaded mold?
I am a dyed-in-the-wool hardcore MG fan since 1988-- but I'll be an absolute fool to pay an extra $100 for half the memory and zero backwards compatibility. The real irony is you wouldn't be able to play either MGS 2 or 3 on this, only MGS. I'll be getting the regular bundle edition, then buying a copy of the LE game, and then reselling the copy that comes in the package at around $50...and I'll still save money.
I could care less about the finish for that price. I'll just buy a skin that dulls the look like that if I want.
