Oh great, multiple versions of MGS4

I got this info from the Famitsu thread that was just locked for not being translated or something.

6/12 Metal Gear Solid 4 ~ Game
6/12 Metal Gear Solid 4 Special Edition ~ Game + Trailers + Making Of
6/12 Metal Gear Solid 4 Bundle ~ Game + PS3
 
>_>...

I can't believe people still care about Special Editions at this point...I'm going to go ahead and call that this is the typical bullshit special edition with a special case and maybe a DVD with a documentary featuring Kojima jacking off in front of a camera.

Great, now I'm having second thoughts about getting the MGS4 PS3 bundle. :(

I wonder what the differences between the three are...



Will be buying these.

Yeah, i will take that, thanks.
 
What's the big deal? If the special edition has anything you feel is worth spending extra money on, then buy it. >_> I don't see how this is a problem.
 
You should be expecting multiple versions for any major game. I do wonder what sort of stuff will be in the Special Edition.
 
That special edition might cost around $150 in Japan and to import around 250. I'll stick with the regular edition unless it comes with something super awesome.


Kojima should put all the cut scenes from all the games in one blu-ray in 1080p in MGS chronological order.

:lol It's MGS4 man! And only Sony hasn't done a pre order/special edition this gen. It was inevitable and it seems Sony will only do CE for big games, I'm cool with that.
 
The Bundle is the 80 GB PS3 with MGS4. The Special Edition is exactly what it seems like, and then you got your standard edition. So really there is only 2 versions of MGS4, just one of them is bundled with 80GB PS3s.

r.


That would be so awesome.
 
I wonder what the CE will include and how much it'll cost. That's the version I want.

But if it's $150+...DO NOT WANT

Sony? Is Sony publishing MGS4?
...
 
i've mostly sworn off special editions, but the mgs series has a history of cool extras -- the document of mgs2, metal gear saga, the supplementary stuff in mgs3 subsistence. so they've got my attention.

I'm an MGS whore but if its $150 I'm going to have to pass thats just too much. Please don't rape us on the SE konami ;(
 
Right, so here is apparently the content of these differents editions, from the same source :

-MGS4 : just the game
-MGS4 Special Edition : game + trailers + making-of, all on Bluray Disc
-MGS4 Premium Pack : all the content of the special edition + PS3
 
So basically I'll be buying a MGS4 PS3 bundle and MGS4 special edition on June 12th?

Fine with me. I'm already gonna own 3 copies of MGS3 so I don't really care at this point, haha

If it's special edition in the MGS4 PS3 pack, then cool

Thanks, I'll edit that into the OP.

Trailers? + making of? Booooooooring!!!!!

It's not even CE worthy.

Same here. I imagine I'll either ship the bundle copy to one of my friends if they don't already have it day one, if not I'll just turn right around and trade in the bundled copy on the spot.

Edit: Oh shit, the bundle has the special edition? Rock on.
 
Come on people this is all we are going to get in the Fancy edition!

The expensive MGS LEs never come to America, IIRC.

But I guess importing is more of an option now.

well if thats the case then I'd imagine its going to cost roughly the same as the DMC4 SE and if it is in that price range I'll buy.
