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
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."
