EB Games is now accepting pre-orders for a limited edition of Metal Gear Solid 4. Separate from the pre-order bonuses already announced for the game, the LE will have even more extra stuff for the discerning fan.

The MGS4 Limited Edition will come in a metal box and contain a Blu-ray with two behind the scenes documentaries on the production of MGS4, four chapters of the MGS graphic novel and an imported Metal Gear soundtrack CD. EB is going to throw in a Metal Gear art book as well, and since you’re pre-ordering MGS4 you should also be eligible for the Metal Gear Saga 2.0 DVD, which includes the beta key to get a taste of Metal Gear Online a bit before release.

At $84.99 (USD) the price is a bit steep, but if you’re interested in those extras it isn’t bad. Given that the MGS4 “Steel” PS3 package is already sold out in Japan through pre-orders, and the restrictive numbers of the Subsistence LE a couple years ago, you may want to get on this sooner rather than later. When Kojima Productions says limited, they mean it.

You have several options if you’re thinking about picking up MGS4, and even a PS3 to go along with it. The MGS4 PS3 bundle is also a good value for someone without a PS3, given the inclusion of the game, the DUALSHOCK3 controller and a mostly backwards compatible 80GB PS3.

MGS4, in whatever form you buy it, is going to be lighting up the PS3 come June 12, 2008. If you’re interested in catching up on the excellence of MGS, Metal Gear Solid: The Essential Collection (containing MGS1-3) was just released on March 18 for the bargain price of $29.99

Geoff H on March 26, 2008 9:21 am It’s rough I assume you can’t get the LE or the Saga/beta package with the bundle. RSS feed for comments on this post.
