Every once in a long-long while, a game will come along and change all the rules. The well demanded 80 GB PS3 pack is back, with a vengeance: Metal Gear Solid 4. If you own a PS2 and want to upgrade to PS3, think again before buying a cheaper 399$ 40 GB SKU or a 80 GB bundle! You might want to know that the 40 GB has NO PS2 game compatibility! That’s the main reason I bough this version of PS3 although I already had one (PS3 40 GB).
What’s the price difference between this splendid console and a classic 40 GB PS3? It’s about 50$, but it will be the best $50 you ever spent. As you may know, Blu ray has won the high-definiton war, and that’s another reason to buy this console. You will enjoy incredible pristine picture quality up to 1080p compared to 480p from DVDs, clearer and crisper sound, more content including DLC via BD LIVE, scratch resistance, and more ways to show off to your friends about your top of the line lifestyle. And all that for 448$. As a media center, PlayStation 3 80 GB Metal Gear Solid 4 Pack does almost everything. It is the only gaming console to be fully Divx certified. PS3 80 GB MGS4 pack is probably still the best Blu-ray player you can purchase today. The gaming library has improved a lot since the original launch of the PS3 console. I love PS3’s online gaming because it’s free an sweet! Some games even have dedicated servers like Resistance which can hold 40 players and have ZERO lag. You can’t go wrong with this 80 GB MGS4 Pack, especially when you order from Amazon.
So should you get it or not? Well, if you’re a fan of games, and/or hi def movies and don’t own a PS3 – this MGS4 80 gb pack is the one to get.
But if you own one, here are some reasons why you should get this bundle:
1. It’s currently one of the cheapest blu ray players available.
2. Free online
3. Plenty of great games and more great games to come
4. Reliable console – No major hardware failure issue like the RROD of the Xbox 360
5. Motorized sliding front panel and touch pad are cool
6. Strong, scratch resistant blu ray discs
7. Backwards compatibility with most PS2 titles.
AND
Metal Gear Freakin’ Solid 4 is included for free in this 80 gb pack! What MORE can you ask for!!?? Many people bought the PS3 at 599 when it first came out just for this game alone! Now it’s 448$ on AMAZON
This is the most anticipated game of the moment. I still can’t believe Konami is going to release the game for all platforms. There are a lot of speculations about the main character in MGS: Rising, but the general conclusion is that Raiden is the main protagonist of the game. I’m a little confused this, mainly because I loved Solid Snake so much in MGS4. Konami promise fans that they’ll get an entirely new adventure.
There was a lot of buzz around the next Metal Gear Solid game! Well, it’s confirmed!
Kojima Production’s Metal Gear Solid Rising is coming to the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC.
This is great news for everybody, starting with genuine Metal Gear Fans, XBOX 360 fans and PC gaming fans.
With Metal Gear Solid: Rising, the Xbox 360 community will finally get a chance to enjoy the action and excitement that this popular franchise is known to offer.” They say this new MGS game will be a whole new experience!!!
Ok, the story is that Metal Gear Solid will soon be available for N-Gage, but as I own a N95 phone, that’s all I need to know It seems that Konami is going for mobile market with MGS. That’s not bad. I just wonder if we’ll see Snake back in the bussiness or they will present another character. I’m waiting for it!!!
Here is the press release:
“Nokia and KONAMI, a leading global developer, publisher and manufacturer of electronic entertainment properties, today announced that KONAMI mobile titles will be added to the N-Gage mobile games platform. The mobile version of the award-winning METAL GEAR SOLID® will be the first title in the games line-up. METAL GEAR SOLID® MOBILE has received top honours at the 2007 International Mobile Gaming Awards (IMGA), taking both the Grand Prix and Operator’s Choice Awards.”
Oh. You are going to like this one. Some dude was selling this MGS4 case mod on ebay last year. The price? About 5000$. I know, it was a lot of money, but the case was great. I hope the buyer enjoyed it!
Info about MGS4 Case Mod:
The entire PS3 and controller is a combination of Carbon Fiber and Midnight Black done in our own digital camouflage technique.This is protected with nine coats of automotive DuPont Chroma Clear clearcoat. A full size Carbon Fiber Fox Hound logo appears amongst the digital camouflage. The final product is a uniform finish that reflects like a mirror.
The laser cut stainless steel Metal Gear Solid 4 marquee, Blu-Ray drive bezel and the metal accents are hand brushed to a brilliant industrial finish.
The PS3 is also signed by Yumi Kikuchi (Raging Beauty) and Hideo Kojima, and comes with tons of MGS4 accessories, like four bottles of the Regain energy drink and a GA-KO alarm clock.
Metal Gear is a critically acclaimed series of stealth games created by Hideo Kojima and developed and published by Konami. In the series, the player takes control of a Special Forces Operative (Solid Snake in most games) repeatedly facing off against the latest incarnation of the eponymous superweapon “Metal Gear”; a bipedal walking tank with nuclear launching capabilities. The series is famous for pioneering the stealth game genre, for its lengthy cinematic cut scenes, intricate storylines and its exploration of the nature of politics, warfare, censorship, genetic engineering, artificial intelligence, loyalty, reality, subjective vs. universal truths and other philosophical themes. The series has accumulated great success, selling over 26 million copies. (wikipedia)

Some people say a game walkthrough that gives you all of the answers at once ruins the entire game for you! I must disagree with them. Some people just got stuck at some level in MGS4 and don’t know what to do. A friend of mine was stuck on act 4 in the game for 2 weeks. Just when he was about to give up, he decided to search the internet for hints. That’s the main reason you should not avoid the MGS4 walkthrough just because you are afraid it will ruin the game experience.
The best video walkthrough I could find so far was on NextGeWalkthrough
It seems that Konami is going for mobile market with MGS. That’s not bad. I just wonder if we’ll see Snake back in the bussiness or they will present another character. I’m waiting for it!!!
