It seems that the PS3 is going to have a stellar holiday season. Moms and Dads around the nation are going to be buying their little ones a console for Christmas… but where is the best place to purchase one? Well, if you ask kotaku.com.. they’ll say it’s Dell.

Yes, you just read me right, Dell… the same Dell that makes computers. The package that they’ll be pushing is the new 40GB console with Spider-Man 3 Blu-ray, Startech 6ft HDMI cable (instead of the standard AV cable), and a copy of Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction. If you add all that up that is going to be somewhere in the neighborhood of $488… but this same package at Dell is only $399.

So keep this in mind when trying to navigate the hoards of Christmas shoppers trying to find a PS3… when you can stay at home and eShop. Nothing says Merry Christmas better than shopping in your boxers.

Game manufacturer Konami has delayed the release of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots until 2008.

According to DBTechno.com…

Konami along with Hideo Kojima have been stating all along that Metal Gear Solid 4 would be seeing a worldwide release this winter. This left many to believe that the game would be out around the time of February 2008. Konami has stated though that the new release date was needed “in order to make further improvements to the quality of th egame and provide even greater enjoyment for more customers worldwide.”

Konami still maintains that they’ll still release Metal Gear Solid 4 simultaneous worldwide… but now it’s just sometime in 2008.

The Sony blog, threespeech.com, posted the following about the impending firmware 2.0 update, “News on that is coming tomorrow but it will be within the next two weeks!!”.
