funcojoe · (02-26-2008, 05:02 PM)

June 12th

My brother works for a publisher and is at the conference now, just texted me with the date. I said are you sure, he said came right outta Trenton's mouth and its gonna be bundled with a 80G.

Kagari · (02-26-2008, 05:02 PM)

WHAT, HOW CAN I BELIEVE YOU?!

GHG · (02-26-2008, 05:02 PM)

Wow... Thats so soon. GTA IV and MGS4 before the summer. Summer will be awesome seen as I'll have to wait till then to get the games because of uni exams.

levious · (02-26-2008, 05:03 PM)

a bundle? That's pretty big news too.

SolidSnakex · (02-26-2008, 05:03 PM)

*taps fingers*

I won't believe it until Ryan or someone else from KojiPro says it.

That sounds utterly bullshit, but I'll believe you.

Xater · (02-26-2008, 05:03 PM)

Better be prepared to get banned if untrue.

Pug · (02-26-2008, 05:03 PM)

They are going to give it away free with an 80gb PS3?

flipping_heck · (02-26-2008, 05:03 PM)

For which continent?

in any case, yay!

h3ro · (02-26-2008, 05:04 PM)

I don't know what to believe anymore...

funcojoe · (02-26-2008, 05:04 PM)

I told him I said if I post this and get banned and ur fucking with me I'm gonna fucking kill you.

WHAT?

ZeroTolerance · (02-26-2008, 05:05 PM)

I choose to believe this. We may be getting a confirmation from Ryan on Thursday

SnakeXs · (02-26-2008, 05:05 PM)

You had me until bundled.

Kestastrophe · (02-26-2008, 05:05 PM)

Isn't June kind of a weird date for such a high profile game?

I want to believe... it actually would make sense considering my work is listing the game for June 17th right now. BUT HELLS YEAH IF TRUE, RIGHT BEFORE MY BIRTHDAY.

tapedeck · (02-26-2008, 05:06 PM)

wait i thought the 80 gig was discontinued...

*headscratch*

Surely Konami would be the ones announcing a release date, and isn't the 80gb dead?

Vorador · (02-26-2008, 05:06 PM)

Bundle with 80 gb?

wat

Sigh, no. Are you completely daft man?

They're giving away $80,000 to anyone who buys MGS4. Duh.

spwolf · (02-26-2008, 05:07 PM)

isnt it bad date for Europe? Smack middle of Euro 2008.

Well I guess England is not there, so it might not matter :P

TheGuardian · (02-26-2008, 05:07 PM)

True or not, this should be appearing as news in IGN in about 5 minutes :P

SolidSnakex · (02-26-2008, 05:07 PM)

June 12th is also a Thursday which isn't usually a day when games are released.

WORLWIDE RELEASE (within a couple days of each other like Halo 3) is what Ryan said.

There have been exceptions to that rule.

twinturbo2 · (02-26-2008, 05:08 PM)

If not true...

kevm3 · (02-26-2008, 05:08 PM)

I don't believe this.

Wollan · (02-26-2008, 05:09 PM)

June 12th is also what the fake 'famitsu ad' said. Could be confusions.

I don't believe that. The 80GB's are being fazed ouy as we speak. No way would any be available and if Sony are allowing these shortages of 80GB's only to start distribution back up again then Sony are retarded.

PepsimanVsJoe · (02-26-2008, 05:09 PM)

If true June 12th will be the day I buy a PS3.
But yeah it's not.
Guess I'll wait for the Resistance 2 bundle.

Ships Tuesday, guaranteed in stores on Thursday. I believe.

Maybe the 80GB are being held back to build up stock or maybe they're relaunching it with the 40GB motherboard (no BC) and the Dual Shock 3.

frankie_baby · (02-26-2008, 05:09 PM)

if you can actually find an 80gig on that day there'll be a copy in it

Lakitu · (02-26-2008, 05:09 PM)

it is real I heard it from my friend Chalupa

Dyno · (02-26-2008, 05:09 PM)

It's a shame that as people dare to bring us early news they get threatened with all manner of blunt banning implements.

Proper consequences for false information is one thing, but a few of you sound like you're chomping at the bit!

Well that's that. It's fake.

O-kay...

Laguna X · (02-26-2008, 05:10 PM)

I think I'll wait for Ryan to say something before believing any of this.

*headscratch*

The 80 gig SKU was discontinued, but I think that technically an "80 gig" and an "80 gig with MGS4" would be different SKUs. Anyone who knows how the process works, feel free to correct me.

I'm still waiting for info on whether they will have any backwards compatibility in future models. I doubt it more and more every day, but I hold out hope until the news officially comes down.

funcojoe · (02-26-2008, 05:10 PM)

I'm calling him right now and getting details.
