MGS4 Release Date, Possible Limited Edition PS3 Model?

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots

Konami's Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots is looming large on the horizon, and with the unveiling of the PlayStation 3 bundle, everyone is getting awfully excited. The following are a few more reasons to get enthusiastic about the upcoming blockbuster.

According to Ripten, it seems the much-rumored June 12 release date is now official, as it has come "straight from Kojima's mouth." In addition, we can expect full pricing details and a first look at that nifty PS3 bundle on March 21, while the game trailer from last year's Tokyo Game Show hits the Japanese Store today. Metal Gear Online, which will come packaged with MGS4, will boast 5 total maps and more - along with extra character packs - will arrive with the help of future expansions. Now, all of this is basically confirmed, but there's something else circulating around out there that is worth mentioning-

We know about the MGS4 PS3 bundle, but Ripten wonders if we might be seeing a Limited Edition MGS4 PS3 piece of hardware very soon. As you can see in this picture, the MGS4 Special Edition is laid out all pretty like...but the PS3 is blacked out with a question mark over it. So, when Konami and Sony reveal the MGS4 PS3 bundle on March 21, should we expect a fresh PS3 hardware design, too? We can't wait to find out...
