Guess that's why they're $10 more?

Retail copies of Metal Gear Solid 5: Ground Zeroes will include additional bonuses over the digital release, Konami has told VideoGamer.com.

Details on the bonus content will be "announced soon".

Konami confirmed earlier today that Metal Gear Solid 5: Ground Zeroes would be available at retail and via digital on both current and next-gen platforms. However, the physical versions will cost £10 more than the digital release, costing £29.99 on 360/PS3 and £39.99 on Xbox One/PS4.

When bought digitally the game will cost £19.99 on 360/PS3 and £29.99 on Xbox One/PS4.

We're going to need a chart soon that shows what content is available in each version of the game... Good lord.

AKyemeni · Dec 10, 2013

Does Ground Zeroes come with an online component? MGO?

Perhaps it has to do with that?

For a lot of games in the future too I'm sure. So exciting.

RPGCrazied · Dec 10, 2013

I thought it was just the exclusive content that Microsoft/Sony are getting. There is more?

It's really getting out of hand. You'll get exclusive on this system, from this retailer, from this distributor. Is it so hard to give everyone the same full game?

Nothing like that has been announced yet.

Gartooth · Dec 10, 2013

So I guess PS4/Xbone miss out given that they are digital only right? (referring to US, don't know if the physical releases have been confirmed for here yet)

Guymelef · Dec 10, 2013

So PS4/XBone retail versions after all.

Hellraider · Dec 10, 2013

Konami marketing team or whoever is responsible for the whole "ground zeroes exclusives for everyone" needs to get slapped on the face. This is just stupid.

branny · Dec 10, 2013

This is already such a headache.

Pai Pai Master · Dec 10, 2013

They're trying very hard to get me to stop caring about Metal Gear with this release.

ShockingAlberto · Dec 10, 2013

Does Konami owe someone money

For Xbox One, the all-in-one games and entertainment system from Microsoft, and PlayStation 4 systems, the game will be available for the MSRP of $39.99 for the retail version or via download for $29.99.

RangerBAD · Dec 10, 2013

This is really starting to backfire on them.

So 40$ for something that will probably end up in TPP's package?

Derrick01 · Dec 10, 2013

All of this garbage combined with the super streamlined stealth design is really putting me off of this game. It's like they're actively trying to make as horrible of a game as possible.

funkystudent · Dec 10, 2013

Exclusive console content.
Exclusive Boxed content.

Cant wait for the exclusive retailer content. Lets keep this stupid train rolling.

Its a fucking 2/3 hour demo for crying out loud.

Actually now that I think about it maybe it might come with some kind of MGO beta? That would actually make sense and not be completely shitty.

noobasuar · Dec 10, 2013

LOL Konami is so desperate to stay in business that they've chosen to implode.

God speed Konami.

a916 · Dec 10, 2013

Don't they take a bigger cut on digital, so why would they not want to encourage digital sales...

RPGCrazied · Dec 10, 2013

Steelbook case? Yes, please.

The Omega Man · Dec 10, 2013

North American PS4 only have one option since there would be no retail here. a skin NA for PS4 players!!! wooohooooo

Edit: It seems that there would be PS4 retail version?

Tohsaka · Dec 10, 2013

I hope it's the other console's exclusive mission. I want the Raiden Snatcher mission, but I'm getting the PS4 version.

Look above a few posts, the retail version for ps4 and xbox one were just announced.

jelly · Dec 10, 2013

Bonus content, exclusive content, pre order content does nothing but put me off buying the game. I wish publishers would just stop. Doesn't help when Microsoft and Sony wave money in their faces. Can't we all just buy one version. Treat everyone equal and if you must make a special edition, stuff that can't be used in game, make it special.

Violater · Dec 10, 2013

Wait how long is this game?

The Last One · Dec 10, 2013

Exclusive content exclusively for the retail version of the prologue of MGS 5.

Alec · Dec 10, 2013

YES THEY WILL DO

Papercuts · Dec 10, 2013

This game just needs microtransactions to have it all.

Sheesh their messaging is horrible, but anyway thanks for the heads up.

I don't really keep up with Konami's business too much, but is the company as a whole on the downslide or is it just the video game division?

Probably 'making of' videos and maybe an exclusive look at TPP.

Everything about MGSV is hella confusing.

You forgot about online-only.

Cwarrior · Dec 10, 2013

Clusterfucking this series for everything it's worth to the grave.

jaded_up_ · Dec 10, 2013

Holy fucking shit dude. Why is there one game with so many different Sku's (probably not the right word)? Urgh. Just make MGS5 with one game, with one price, with the same content across the board. Is that too much to ask for?

Why is there even Xbox exclusive and Playstation exclusive content? Do you think people will pick up an Xbox One just to play one lousy exclusive mission (or vice versa)? Trying to keep track of what content I will get if I get it one this with this and for this price is... making me want to give your game a miss.

Or a demo would be pretty sweet.

Bingo. I wouldn't be surprised to see them seeing as how it's not a $60 game.

Son Of D · Dec 10, 2013

So to recap, there's the following:

Exclusive content for PS3/4 and Xbox 360/One
Exclusive content for physical release

Shall we expect exclusive content for retailers soon? As well as exclusive content for a retailer specific special edition? Maybe there will be PS4/One exclusive content and then PS3/360 exclusive content. And to top it off, a Japan only PS4 bundle with exclusive content.

Poetic.Injustice · Dec 10, 2013

This is what happens when a company is reliant on one franchise to carry the whole company.

graywolf323 · Dec 10, 2013

this is just getting ridiculous because I'm sure we'll end up with retailer exclusive digital content as well

at this rate I might not buy the game just on principle

Yep. This is Batman Arkham levels of stupid with all this bullshit content division. It just means I'll spend most of this gen waiting on 'Complete' edition re-releases. No big deal to me.

Let's put it this way...how many money-making franchises other than MGS does Konami have active today?

SJRB · Dec 10, 2013

It's not "bonus content" when you pay 10 bucks more.

WickedLaharl · Dec 10, 2013

For Xbox One, the all-in-one games and entertainment system from Microsoft, and PlayStation 4 systems, the game will be available for the MSRP of $39.99 for the retail version or via download for $29.99.

cilonen · Dec 10, 2013

Not good enough. I want exclusive content within my exclusive content depending on whether I'm using a magma red or wave blue DS4. Get on it Konami.

Flo_Evans · Dec 10, 2013

Video game companies seem to be doing their best to totally frustrate me and not want to buy their products.

This game seems like the perfect digital purchase, play a few rounds while waiting to join your friends or something. If I have to put the mutherfuckin disk in the mutherfuckin console every time just so I can get a new outfit for snake then go fuck yourself.

Graphics Horse · Dec 10, 2013

Perfect first reply.

What are the odds that the boxed PS4 version will get different bonus content than the boxed Xbone version? That would be beyond terrible.

Next they'll announce PC exclusive content....followed by boxed PC exclusive content.

King_Moc · Dec 10, 2013

£10 next gen charge for assets that they would have created anyway. Sweet.
