I’ve always hated the phrase “everything but the kitchen sink.” What the hell does that mean, anyway? I have to use it here, though. Therecently announcedMetal Gear Solid 4PlayStation 3 bundle does include everything but the kitchen sink, and that includes backwards compatibility for your PS2 game collection.
You already knew that the bundle containedMGS4and an 80GB PS3. Also, DualShock 3? Check. Not bad for $499, right? But a PlayStation Blog reader wanted a bit more value in his bundle, according toMCV. The reader hit thecomments sectionof the PlayStation Blog post with a backwards compatibility question, and he received this response:
Yes, similar to the Motorstorm bundle, the new MGS4 bundle features an 80GB PS3 with some PS2 backwards compatibility.
As far as hardware goes, that’s just about everything you could ask for in a PS3 bundle. Nice job, Sony. verify you have your online component going strong by then, please.
Oh, and I’m feeling pretty good about the June 12th dateCTZ mentioned yesterday.VideoGame Forumshas scans of the Japanese PlayStation magazine, and the date is all up in those pages. If Kojima and Konami hold up to their simultaneous worldwide release promise, we’ll have this game in our hands in a few short months.
