MGS: Peace Walker getting exclusive PSP

[Guild McCommunist]

Sony Computer Entertainment America has announced that Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker -- the PSP Metal Gear game that Hideo Kojima says easily could have been called Metal Gear Solid 5 -- will be released in North America on June 8, and it's coming alongside a limited edition PSP Entertainment Pack.

The pack will include the above-pictured "spirited green" version of a PSP-3000 (but not a PSPgo... how about that), Peace Walker on UMD, a 2GB Memory Stick PRO Duo, and a voucher for a free PSN movie (the title will be announced later), all for $199. This will be the first time this spirited green PSP will be available in North America. Additionally, this copy of Peace Walker will also contain exclusive in-game items like a camouflage pattern with FOX logos and a "Stealth Gun" feature that can be unlocked early in the game.

Naturally, Peace Walker will also be released digitally for the PSPgo, in case you happen to have one of those instead. For more on Peace Walker, check out our last preview to see what to expect.

Would've gone with a camo design myself instead of plain old St. Patty's Day green, but whatever. It also includes the game, some unlockables, and a 2GB Memory Stick, as mentioned above.

EDIT: This also means that the USA release date of the game is pushed back to June 8th. EU/JAP release dates are unchanged.

Seriously one of the worst PSP color ever. Handhelds have to be black or silver

Same, I'd get that.

Are there a decal on it or anything? Like the Kratos GoW PSP or FFCC?

No, which sucks, especially with the very cool art style of games like Portable Ops or the Digital Novels. Camo + a design from one of those would be awesome.

Maybe the UMD with the exclusives will get dumped too

 

[Dangy]

A great bundle for St Patrick's Day

Ugh. Green can look good, but this is just fugly. The PSP only looks good in black IMO.

they should be releasing one for the nintendo consoles... its kinda sad cuz fewer ppl have PSP unless JPCSP gets a good compatibility boost (which it has recently)
