I'll be getting the PS3 bundle. I've been holding out until the release of MGS4 to get a console. Now I can spend that wad of money... in two days. About online, will every different release of MGS4, including the PS3 bundle, have the MGO starter pack?
You're a lucky person if you're getting one since the PS3 Bundle with Metal Gear Solid 4 sold out in few minutes and crashed the server on Amazon. lol

it's actually a $163.89 Discount

I did the exact calculations before I knew I was getting this deal.

Though it sucks that I can't play it till the 20th since I promised I wouldn't because of my exams.

Oh, and if any of you are gonna go on Metal Gear Online gimme your PSN ID I don't have one yet, but I plan on creating one when I buy it so i'll add you then.

my PSN ID'll probably be if it's not taken.(Please let it not be taken)

...I still ponder upon why did I bother to foot out $139 SGD (US$100) when my copy of the English R3 Asian Release costing half the price will be arriving some 12 hours later....

Oh well, off to install and play the game, in any case.

Yeah shame that happened. MGS3 was much better then MGS2, did not like the over done confusing plot MGS2 had towards the 2nd half something about computers controlling the world or something... And the fact you had to play as some emo albino character didn't help either, people wanted to play as Snake not that emo albino punk.

A lot of people were kinda burned by MGS2 that they didn't bother getting MGS3 including me which is why it sold much less then MGS2 did but thankfully my friend a few years after MGS3 came out convinced me to get the game, damn the game is awesome the plot is also great. MGS3 was alot more like MGS1 unlike MGS2 was.

Hoping that MGS4 doesn't over do the story like MGS2 did keep it like MGS1/MGS3 is then it's all good.

^^Come on, I actually like that "emo albino punk" that you're talking about. lol

Metal Gear Solid 2 did actually have alot of confusing things going on but it was the foreshadowing and the game that set the stage for the culmination that will occur in Metal Gear Solid 4, so it doesn't really bother me. I had the pre-order for the regular version but I'm actually going to change it over to the Special Edition, it just feels more fitting.

Well, to be fair I think Kojima really tried to make Raiden a more legitimate character in MGS4. And it seems to go well coming from the events of MGS2 (i.e., receiving the sword and becoming the ninja after Olga...)

In MGS2 he was a hated substitute that made the player want to play as Snake more, and in MGS3 plot-related referential jokes were being made about him. Now at least, maybe in MGS4 he can stand in equal footing with the other supporting characters.

I'm wondering if Raiden will be a playable character for temporary.

That North American box art is just awful.

Good thing the Limited Edition has that sexy art.

The Japanese R2 SE is better. Blu Ray Disc comes in a made-in-denmark steelbook metallic casing, which can be double up nicely as a alternative game box.
