Mmm, that ultra special Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, 80GB PlayStation 3 bundle pack sure looks sexy don’t it? Best of all, the console contained therein is backwards compatible, so you can go right back and check out every single minute of confusing conspiracy laden plot from all three previous games.

If you’ve held off buying a PS3 in the wait for MGS4, you’d probably be especially keen to get your hands on one of these, wouldn’t you? Well tough shit. Sony ain’t selling. These babies are for North America only and the closest you’re going to get here is to staple a printout of Snake’s head to an ordinary non-backwards compatible 40GB model.

"We have no plans to release either bundle at the moment," is the line being told to various publications by SCEE spokespersons.

A faint glimmer of hope comes from the fact that the US version contains a DualShock3 controller, which haven’t been announced for this country yet. It’s possible then that we’ll be getting both around the same time. Given the console shifting power of a major exclusive like MGS4, SCEE would be missing a trick not to offer some kind of bundle incentive over here.
