Forums - Sony Discussion - Sony working to ensure more 80 GB bundles are shipped

There has been a lot of confusion and conflicting reports as to whether the 80 GB sku with MGS4 bundled was going to be limited to the 75,000 units shipped to retailers at the MGS4 launch or if additional units would be coming. Well, good news; although still termed "limited-edition," Sony is aware of the demand and is going to provide retailers with more.

Snaaake? We ask Sony about 'limited-edition' MGS4 80GB PS3 supply


We've received numerous "tips" concerning the Metal Gear Solid 4 80GB PlayStation3 bundle and just how darned scarce it's become in the wilds of retail. We checked with Sony (full statement after the break) to find out when more shipments of the "limited-edition" bundle will be sneaking back into North America.

Sony tells us that it's pleased with the strong interest in the bundle (system seller confirmed!) and is "working to ensure that additional shipments are provided to retailers." The company wouldn't provide specific inventory levels or give a restocking date, so if you're really aching for the bundle, you'd best keep hitting redial and pestering your local retailer.

SCEA statement:


"While we can't provide specifics on inventory levels, the Metal Gear Solid 4 PlayStation 3 bundle is a limited-edition offering that's experiencing high demand from Metal Gear and PlayStation enthusiasts. We're pleased with the strong consumer interest in the bundle and are working to ensure that additional shipments are provided to retailers."

@ Leo

They also said Motorstom Was "limited".

Anyhoo, that means this is going the way of the MotorStorm bundle, so we should expect elevated sales for quite some time. (80 gig effect)



@leo,,,,

every bundle with game in it is limited,,,meaning that they would drop/change the game at some point.



 

 

 

Lets hope that it holds off until August then....

 As the others said...the game pack in is "limited" like Motorstorm was...but there were many people saying that this was a VERY limited bundle to clear out the stock of 80 GB's left.  It appears that may not be the case which is good news.  There seems to be a huge demand for the 80 GB and backwards compatibility.  I'm glad more than the original shipments are going to be released.

Dragonlord aka sorrow880, just curious, do you by any chance also post on gamefaqs.com? I could have sworn I saw your PSN ID  on that website!

"limited" means it will go someday....like the Motorstorm one.

We knew that....
