SCEA has revealed the North American version of the Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker PSP Entertainment Pack, combining Konami’s award-winning METAL GEAR SOLID franchise with the PSP-3000 system. To coincide with the launch of the stand-alone game, this exclusive package will be offered at major retail locations in the United States and Canada for $199.
Available on June 8, 2010, Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker is a complete Metal Gear Solid game on UMD and features an extensive amount of gameplay that will revolutionize previous notions of a handheld game experience. The limited-edition package will debut a “Spirited Green” PSP-3000 system, marking the first time the color will be available in North America. It’s the same green PSP that we saw Sony release in Japan at the beginning of 2009. In addition, special in-game content will also be included: an exclusive Camouflage Uniform with FOX logos and Stealth Gun feature, both of which will be unlocked early in the game; a PlayStation Network downloadable movie voucher (U.S. residents only; title to be announced); and a 2GB Memory Stick Pro Duo will complete this ultimate portable entertainment package.
“Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker takes tactical-espionage to a whole new level and the PSP system is the only handheld entertainment system on the market powerful enough to support its rich graphics and extreme gameplay,” said Shinji Hirano, President, Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. “We’ve seen the Metal Gear Solid franchise perform exceptionally well on the PSP platform. SCEA has long been an industry leader and a valuable partner and we look forward to many more collaborations with SCEA in the future.”
I think I’d rather take the official Konami Japan Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker PSP bundle that was announced this past January. Much better looking than this – why can’t we get some of that sweet action in the USA?
