price is $600 and the PS3 is the 40 gig with a limited edition gun metal grey finish
it is damn sexy
and here is the post about when they start the preorders

Edit: the above link doesnt work... seems that PSblog removed the post... but I already had the entire post displayed in my google reader
so you should be able to see it here instead https://www.google.com/reader/shared/01193810796496005109

on a completely unrelated side note, I am taking funds for a "Welcome back to America gift" that also just happens to cost $600 if anybody is interested in contributing, let me know by may 19th... completely unrelated... ;)

I read about this on PSU.com. Yeah, this is the mother of all bundles. In case people don't wanna click on the link the bundle includes.....

-Gun Metal 40 gig PS3
-Limited Edition Metal Gear Solid 4 including the 2-disc soundtrack, the history and making of MGS4.
-Gun Metal Dualshock 3 controller

I'm HOPING this is what's gonna push my cousin to get a PS3 cause' we're both big MGS fans. He's a 360 owner and I've been trying to persuade him for months to get a PS3. Hopefully this will be the deciding factor! :D

I will absolutely buy a ps3 for this game. though I may opt for the 80 gig bundle from sonystyle.com

it isnt grey but it is only 500 bucks, and if I can get a sony card it will only be 400 so it is worth it in my book.

Yeah, I don't know why they made the Gun Metal one a 40 gig. If I were you I'd definitely go with the 80 gig bundle. Plus, you get the PS2 compatibility. :cool:

hmmm that seems awfully like a ploy to make sure there is more of a chance for you to get a gun metal grey one... j/k :P
yeah as $600 for all of that is tempting... that $400 (if bought with a sony card) seems more tempting.

I'd get the cheaper one and a can of gun metal grey spray paint if I didn't already have a PS3. :D

I would love this PS3 but $600 is a bit pricey for the 40gig model with a different color

Well, I know the Limited Edition MGS4 game (I have it reserved) is $85 and the DS3 Controller is like $60 which would bring it to $525 so you're basically paying $75 for the Gun Metal color for the controller and the system. I guess it depends on how crazy you are about the color. :D
