UPDATE: It seems we
jumped the gun on this report. Apologies!
Retail sources have informed us today that the Australian market will not be seeing the release of the
Metal Gear Solid 4 PS3 bundle that was announced in February. The bundle in the US will include a limited edition 'hagane' coloured 80GB PS3, a Dual Shock 3 controller and, of course, a copy of
MGS 4, all for $US 499.99.
Sources also told us that the recently released
GTA IV 40GB bundle didn't fair so great in Australia on release, which may have influenced the decision (although that bundle *was* released 3 days after GTA IV was released). That, and the fact a relatively small market like Australia may not be able to properly sustain another blockbuster bundle in what is a pretty short period of time. Still, I'm sure some fans down under will be quite disappointed with the news.
