It seems the MGS4 Limited Edition has sold out at the konamistyle store.
Is there any other news in Japan about sales of this limited edition, is it being offered anywhere else for pre-order in Japan? Also does anyone know how many of these units will be made.

I'm thinking of importing one! (Just because I want to!)

Well I guess this means Playasia is going to charge a crapload for it, probably $800.

I agree, semi-worthless without including the # of copies, but then again, collector's sets do tend to be handled more cautiously to prevent there from being too many (for assorted reasons).

I'd really like to know how many of these are made as well. To have sold out on the Konami site several months prior to release is something.

yea, i wish they included the foxhound logo or something on the PS3 case like with the twin snakes gamecube bundle. i think the US bundle is a better value with the larger HDD sans special gray color for japan.

It could happen at this rate. When does the US MGS4 pack go up for preorder? Will it go up for preorder or will it be first-come first-serve?

There something about it that makes me want it, and the more I look at it the more I want it. And its seriously fucking crazy of me to think about ordering one of these when I have two 60GB PS3's already.

i'd assume between 500 thousand and 1 mil, then again, that MotorStorm Bundle was 'limited' as well...? :lol

They sell around 800k units per release. It's not DQ or FF territory obviously, but it sells enough to make those "MGS doesn't sell in Japan" comments laughable.

I'm pretty sure the US version is black, I'm not sure if its glossy black or not though.

I thought I'd end up playing my PS2 collection allot on my PS3, it hasn't worked out that way as I don't have that much current desire to play those titles again. But I know I'll get the itch in the future, so its all good.

I talked to the employees over at User's Side this weekend, and strangely enough, they were doing a pre-order thing for the bundle. I put my name down on a list (first!) but I didn't have to put money down since the store still wasn't sure what was going on (I guess they have to coordinate with the other stores in Japan) with regards to how many systems they were going to get.

Fingers-crossed that I'll be able to get the system from them rather than having to go through an online importer, since I'd rather be able to put the thing in my car than having to lug the thing from work to home on BART. :lol

There's not even any freaking numbers. They could have sold 325 units for all we know.

I see, thanks.

The color is nice and all, but like LiK said, they could have at least put a MGS logo or something on it. The writing actually makes it worse IMO.

Well that depends. What do you mean by "we"? Because if you keep posting shit like that I have a suspicion that you won't be around for many more of those kinds of threads.

hehe, yea, if they didn't include that text, people wouldn't be able to tell it was a LE PS3 at all from the pics. i was hoping for a camo color or something. ah well, konami...

Correction, it's the Limited Edition of MGS4 being sold out, not MGS4. And second, other PS3 games aren't MGS4!!

Must be nice to have that kind of cash. I'm still waiting for my tax refund to get here so I can finally grab a 360 to compliment my other 2 consoles. I hate you.
