Forums - Sony - New MGS4 Bundle for Japan

It's called the MGS4 Welcome Bundle, it comes with MGS4, the 40 Gig PS3, a Dualshock, and *surprise* a Sixaxis.  It's actually cheaper than the regular MGS4 bundle.  So you pay less and get a free (albeit outdated) controller.  Full article below:

Not one to sit back and let the Sixaxis suffer into extinction, Sony Japan will carefully package the feathery gamepad into a trifecta of new Metal Gear Solid 4 bundles. Dubbed the "Welcome Box," the new limited edition bundle will be offered in three standard flavors (Clear Black, Ceramic White and Satin Silver) and will include a 40GB console, rumblin' DualShock 3 and copy of MGS4 -- oh, and yes, one's very own Sixaxis. The Welcome Box (shouldn't it be "Goodriddance Box?") will be made available in concurrence with the worldwide release of MGS4 on June 12 for a reasonable ¥49,800 (roughly $470). Comparatively, the "Hagane" Grey MGS4 bundle will retail for ¥51,800; and so essentially, Sony's offering a savings of ¥2,000 (about $20) to folks who adopt a Sixaxis. Too bad no Welcome Box's been announced for North America. We'd so love to join the cause: Save the Sixaxis!

Hmm, it's 2,000 yen cheaper than the gun metal PS3.

I wonder how many gunmetal PS3s are being produced. The first ones available online sold out within a couple hours.



"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY."  --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials

Why is the NA MGS4 box art on there?

Good deal, plus the sixaxis is fine.

 That's what I'm wondering.  It has the Japanese ratings symbol on it, though.  I'd be very suprised if even the Japanese cover doesn't have Shinkawa art.
