MGS4 PS3 bundle release in middle east !!!

okay......i do understand that the MGS4 PS3 bundle is gettin released worldwide June 12 (same date as MGS4 release). However whenever i ask the retail stores' specialists here (in dubai, U.A.E) if they got any idea whatsoever, about the release of the bundle in june... they give me stupid answers such as "I duno... and the 80GB PS3 isnt released officially yet"!! that just freakin pisses me off coz they duno what they're talkin about !!

so... i come with a humble request of help from everyone!!!

i still havent bought a PS3 yet, so i am open to any answers and suggestions here!!!. I was gona buy the 40GB PS3 in stores here, but then i heard about the 80GB MGS4 bundle gettin released in june. so im just waitin for that.......since i really want the backward compatability coz a 60GB one is almost impossible to find here since it is discontinued!

im worried that this bundle wont reach the middle east... that is why i am this concerned. should i wait till june or just buy a 40GB?!

PLZ HELP !!! I WUD REALLY APPRECIATE IT !!

my god....

Is this a good idea?

I mean....MGS4 is depicting war in the middle east. People in the middle east get offended by cartoons, how do you think they are going to handle a violent video game that depicts the middle east as dangerous?

that isn't really an issue here!!! see the thing with stores here is that as long as the merchandise has a long waiting list or demand on it.... then they wont even dare to ban it !! for example they banned COD4 here for a short period, then unbanned it coz they were forced to... the demand was just too high !!!

i dont care if it offends the middle east !! im a big fan of all the sequels of MGS and the only reason im gettin a PS3 is for that game !!

You should just buy the 40gig.. Because there's no guarantee that the 80gig MGS bundle will be released in your area. Plus you will be playing other great games now and then buy MGS when it comes out :D -supercharged-

i was thinking of that too... but the thing that's botherin me is that i dont wana have regrets after buyin the 40GB. i dont want any surprises either. and one other thing... is it possible to download PS2 full games on the PS3 ?! i heard such a thing can happen... but i just wana make sure though...

No, you can't download PS2 games, you have to find actual physical copies.

Secondly, if you already own a PS2, then don't bother waiting for the 80GB PS3 edition, seeing as the PS2 is already 100% backwards compatible with PS2 games and you are risking losing your chance at acquiring the 80GB bundle version in your area with only a sense of luck.

Thirdly, if you don't own a PS2, then the 80GB is worth it in the long run.

Final note : you buy a PS3 to play PS3 games, PS2 games are a bonus.

PSS : I own two PS2s and a PS3 40GB. I used the cash I saved from buying myself an 80GB to purchase a 320GB SATA 2.5" drive, replacing the built-in 40GB. See what I did there?

PS2 games on the 40gig is a definate no. There is no downloads *as of yet* and you cannot play the game discs in the 40gig. If this is a important feature for you then you need to make sure that the MGS bundle is being released in your area. You dont wanna wait for nothing....

I personally bought a PS3 for PS3 games :D I have had my share of moments with the PS2 and I have moved on.

Well, it doesn't really portray the U.S as angels either. lol

MGS4 is more than a game...!!Bloodseeker23

It's spiritual...

Seriously though....Metal Gear the best Movie/Game/Story ever made. :D

It's unexplainable...you have to experience it for your self.

u got it wrong man. im IRAQI and im really!!! in the war zone i have been playing viloenct games for so long and that dosent effect my behavior.

and believe me 90% of the middle east have peace inside.

but the 10% they changed our picture infront of the world.

by the way i can't wait for MGS4!!! :D

thanx for the notice brainhunter... but herez the thing...

FIRST OF ALL -- i do own a PS2 and had my share of memories along with it... HOWEVER there are games i wana try out on the PS3 just to see if the graphics on the PS2 game are enhanced by the PS3 system. such as MGS3 and MGS2, as well as MGS1 and a few more games. i mean dont u wana try out the PS2 games u played back and see if they are enhanced by the PS3?!

SECOND OF ALL -- say i do buy a 40GB PS3. what modifications can i do to it to make it a better one... one that i can be proud of... with no regrets?!
