I just bought a 40 gb PS3, Uncharted, MLB 2k7, and Fight Night Round 3 with component cables for about 500 bucks. Then this new sku with the new controller AND MGS4, the main game I bought my PS3 for. Im pissed now. Is anyone in this same position?

It does suck, but what can you do? It would have happened to some people regardless of when they made the announcement. Better luck next time, hopefully.

Did you open the box and keep the receipt? You can always return it. :)

Um... isn't the MGS bundle like 4 months away? How long do you really want to wait to buy a PS3?

The game isn't coming out for 4 months....

I don't see the point in being mad, unless you'd wanna wait that long to save such a little amount of money.

kind of a dumb question....but, from the pictures i've seen so far, it shows a picture of snake on the actual console.....is it just a reflection? or is he actually imprinted on the ps3?

How come you didn't wait for the new sku announcement if you were going to get so pissed? Rumors were flying everywhere about a new sku.

Exactly. I waited to see the announcement, and now I'm going to go out and buy a 40gb or 80gb PS3 very soon. I could care less about this new bundle since it doesn't give you a smaller cell chip or 120gb as rumors suggested. You can get a DS3 from Japan right now. I don't really need to wait for that.

Don't worry about it. You get to play the PS3 for a couple extra months, and you have some great games.

I don't see the loss here, and the MGS4 SKU is just an 80 GB with a copy of MGS4 bundled.

I bought mine a while ago, but MGS4 is one of the main reasons for me getting a PS3. I wouldn't say i am pissed cuz I have enjoyed and will continue to enjoy my PS3 for the months before this is even available. However, if I hadn't bought one before this point that would definitely be the one I get.

The announcement doesn't mention anything about the cell chip. Where are you getting your info?

I`m cool. I bought a new 40gb for $350. No way I'm dropping $500 for any console no matter what it comes with. I want a ds3 though.

I'd rather have a PS3 for 4 months and then buy MGS4 and a DualShock when they come out.

I just bought a refurb 60gb, and as long as it continues to work as nicely as it has, I have no regrets. Full hardware backwards compatibility FTW!

Even if you just bought one, it won't cost you an insane amount to pick up MGS4 and a DS3 if desired. Enjoy the fact that you can enjoy your PS3 for 4 months instead of waiting lol.
