I've been anxiously awaiting the ability to pre-order the bundle and got excited today when I saw it available on gamestop, but they are charging $60 more for a bluetooth headset. I don't want a headset, I just want the $500 bundle. Is there no where to go? http://www.gamestop.com/Catalog/ProductDetails.aspx?product_id=72558

Really?! that's way overpriced! You probably shouldn't get the bundle. I love MGS as much as anyone, but just get the 80gb PS3 (the bundle comes with the 40gb that can't play PS2 games), and buy MGS4 separately, you'll be glad that you did.

actually the bundle comes with the 80gb ps3, dualshock 3, and mgs4, but that bundle is only supposed only $499. I don;t want to pay $60 for a bluetooth headset I don't want/need just to have the security of knowing I'll get a ps3 soon.

CircuitCity.com was taking preorders last I checked.

Konami is taking preorders on the gun metal bundle.

Amazon was taking preorders this morning but they probably sold out already.

So sell the BT headset on ebay. It's limited to just those bundles so you'll more than likely sell it easily. I'm guessing you have no plans to play MGO?

You don't appear to have any idea what you are talking about.

The 80GB bundle comes with MGS4. The 40GB console doesn't come with anything unless you order the gun metal limited edition model.

Just something to keep in mind, 98% of the information obtained from Gamestop/EB employees is absolute bologna.

I just called up the local gamestop and they're selling the 499.99 bundle. You should call your local gamestop if your planning on picking it up and ask if they're selling the 499 or 599 bundle.

Wrong.

I'm in the same boat though, i don't want the headset because I already have a bluetooth headset that will work.

I think thats only if your ordering it on-line. You should be able to pay the $499.00 for the bundle without the headset at your local Gamestop.

Amazon crashed due to wayyy too many preorders of MGS4 bundles. 10,000 bundles sold more or less in 7 minutes. Don't believe me, google it

It's the 3rd one down, above the game itself.

Ah, I see it, but is there a way to get it without buying the remote with it?

There is a way to get around that. You have to place the order with the remote. After you get your email receipt, which is pretty quickly, you will see that the remote has a different order # than the console bundle. Cancel the order # for the remote and it will still keep the order for the bundle. That's what I did.
