Images are pouring in along with a look at tons of extras for Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots scheduled to launch June 12, 2008. Last week Konami announced that some key features had to be removed because the game could not fit on a 50gig Blu-ray disc. This week was the annoucement of a special Limited Edition ‘Steel Green’ PlayStation 3 and matching Dualshock 3 control. There is no SIXAXIS standard controller in this package. So it’s clear to say that MSG 4 will be full rumbling goodness.

MGS4 will be released in Japan as 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, 8,800yen ($88 USD), 9,800yen ($98 USD), and 51,800($518 USD) yen.

The system in the premium package is a 40 gigabyte model. The difference is the Metal Gear Solid bundle will include a Dual Shock 3 controller rather than a standard SIXAXIS packaged with standard edition Playstation 3 units.

Just Hope the Sony Gods decide to drop this beautiful system state side.
