40 GB PS3 bundled with MGS4 game = $499
Check out news article at Gamepro.

Where does it say 40 GB in that article? There's a direct quote from Sony at IGN stating that they will make more 80Gb models for the US bundle.

where do you have to reserve it to be part of the beta testing?

Not quite sure yet, There will be more information regarding this later on. Sony referred to it as a "nationwide pre-sell promotion". So you will hear about it sooner or later. I can't wait!

So much excitement for a game bundle? What's so special... do you get both a sixaxis and a rumble controller, and is the console painted in another color?

So its 500 $ ... great value if you ask me :)

Awesome choice Sony :)

You guys are moving in the right direction with this recent bundle. This will be at the top 10 in America for a couple of months. I just hope that Sony can meet the demand for this. And it would also be sick if they released this bundle in Japan. This would really make Japan numbers sky-rocket!

Now that it's confirmed, all non-PS3 owners should get ready for this big purchase.

I already purchased the MotorStorm PS3 80GB bundle. But this is a serious top of the line bundle that includes the PS3 80GB, MGS4, and a DS3 controller.

I should of waited patiently for this bundle, but I'm not regretting being a early adopter either.

So there should be a few 80GB MotorStorm bundles on the market and then the 40GB and then this new 80GB MGS4 bundle.

Nice!!!!!!!!!!!!

So the only thing us in the UK are left with is the £299 ($600) 40 gig with no games whatsoever...

Thaaanks!!
