Following up on our report on the Japanese Metal Gear Solid 4 packaging from earlier in the week, we now have images of the game's three packages, along with a first look at the "steel" PlayStation 3 system that will come bundled with the game's premium package.
As reported earlier, MGS4 will be released in Japan in three packages: a standard edition that includes a Metal Gear Online starter disc, a special edition that adds a bonus Blu-ray video disc, and a premium pack that includes all the goodies from the other versions, but adds a PlayStation 3 unit. These versions will be priced at, respectively, 8,800, 9,800, and 51,800 yen.
Since our original story, we've managed to get confirmation that the system included in the Japanese premium package is a 40 gigabyte model. Different from other Japanese 40 gigabyte packages, though, the Metal Gear Solid bundle will include a Dual Shock 3 controller rather than a standard SIXAXIS.
MGS4 hits Japan on 6/12, simultaneously with the rest of the world.
