MGS4 PS3 bundle help line: (310)469-5505

I called using my cell phone. I talked directly to someone after selecting OPTION 1 for genereal inquiries. (option 2, order status, option 3 cancel, option 4 defective - just for proof)

KONAMI WORKER HIMSELF STATED: The warranty for the PS3 is covered by SONY as NORMAL, and will be the NORMAL PS3 warranty period. KONAMI covers the GAME ONLY.

FACTS summarized:

Konami provides a 90 day warranty on MGS4 the GAME. (typical with software titles)

SONY provides the usual 1 year warranty for the CONSOLE - Yes, the MGS4 Gun Metal Grey, LE console.

This thread is here to cancel out any false threads (and the confusion/argument they created) created by people who don't research enough.

I encourage anyone to please call for themselves, use a cell phone if you're worried about long distance (I'm not familiar with 310 numbers) and ask them about the PS3's warranty within the bundle.

It's sad we even have to call.

This is common sense, really. Bundles of any game have always still had the typical Sony warranty for the console, and this game wouldn't be any different. All it takes is one person to read something incorrectly, or to bend the truth, and we get 10 more people believing them. :roll: No wonder cults have been so successful over and over again...

So like...if MGS4 gets stuck in the LE PS3 which warranty do you use?Christopper

LOL

Technically that would be a hardware issue since the PS3 is supposed to release the game. (although it's understandable why the PS3 would want to hold on to such a masterpiece lol)

What is so good about the 40gb Gun Metal Grey MGS4 Bundle, when you can for the same price get the 80gb MGS4 Bundle?

It's a limited edition color and includes the LIMITED EDITION of MGS4 which the 80GB lacks.

Well, the Satin Silver color is close enough and the limited or special editions of most games aren't worth it...

Well the special edition for all MGS games were worth it.

MGS4 limited edition will be a huge METAL BOX that contains the game, another bluray disk with 2 making of documentaries, Hideo Kojima interviews, OST CD, artbook. The making of DVD that came with MGS2 was SUPERB!

Wow, people are really that sub-intelligent to not understand that Sony covers the warranty on all of their own hardware? Heck, I've been battling with them cause of GTAIV - they're willing to take my PS3 even though it's past warranty and fix it up so the game stops freezing. Anyone with continuing confusion on the MGS4 bundle and it's warranty should take that example to heart to know they will have no issues with the warranty on the thing.
