The glossy red-and-gold Metal Gear Solid 5-themed PS4 is (and has been) available for pre-order if you live in the UK. If you're a fan living in the US however, you've likely been waiting for an announcement of a stateside version of the console - an announcement which, as confirmed by PlayStation's Adam Boyes yesterday, will sadly never come.
@Big_Boss9293 no plan for the MGS bundle unfortunately :(August 16, 2015
While this is undoubtedly sour news for those hoping to get the Metal Gear Solid 5 PS4 from their local GameStop, Best Buy or what-have-you, there are a couple of silver linings. First off, PS4 games are not region-locked, so a US copy of MGS5: The Phantom Pain should still work if you decide to import. Second, if you're jonesing for a themed PS4 in general and it doesn't have to be MGS-themed, there's a Darth Vader PS4 that was announced today, plus a new Destiny PS4 bundle on the way.
And if all else fails, there's always decals that can turn your PS4 into anything from a shoebox to an original PlayStation.
Seen something newsworthy? Tell us!
Metal Gear Solid's former art director once said he spends "a lot of time fussing over the details of the characters' backside since that's the side the player sees most in-game"
In 1997, Hideo Kojima said the "one thing" he wanted to avoid in Metal Gear Solid was "tedious" cutscenes with characters "blabbering at each other for 4 or 5 minutes"
