Rumor - 80GB Metal Gear Solid 4 Bundle heading to UK

Now this is a rumor which can be taken no more than a grain of salt until we here from more reliable sources. However a forum post from the Official Nintendo Magazine boards which can be viewed here has someone claiming that his local retailer has been told to 'Prepare for It'

'I can't give names but you know that shop I go to well he has been told to prepare for it and he knows a lot about whats going on and he hasn't been wrong before. I'll stake my reputation on this information'

Now we at PsLegion recomend that people see this as no more than a rumor, however we will update the rumor as soon as we have news.

Metal Gear Solid 4: 10 Predictions

Death, rebirth and nakedness - we predict the MGS4 shocks

Sometimes, we're not even sure Hideo Kojima knows what's going on inside his own head. PSone's Metal Gear Solid tossed around confusingly deep philosophical arguments like popcorn, MGS2's last hour turned our brains inside out so often we got indigestion of the mind, and MGS4... Where do we start?

Well, how about by predicting some of the plot twists, shocks and effects that Kojima will inevitably weave into his last (huh, he's said that before) Metal Gear adventure. We've had a mindstorming session to size up the potential plot and gameplay madness, and this is what we came up with...

Note: This is pure educated speculation on our part, we've had no confirmation of any of these points from official sources.

I really hope to see a bundle for UK, I would certainly pick one up. (Y)

Also just a question for those who have played MGS1, 2 and 3 - will you make use of the 'flashback' feature in the cutscenes?

Probably yeah.

No doubt the flashbacks are remastered in HD - Not as good as MGS4 cutscenes, but still better.

The story is that great, its worth watching flashbacks :p

Basically, if they talk about something that happened in previous games, you'll be able to hit a button (I'm somewhat guessing R1) during the particular cutscene and you'll probably be taking "back", seeing the flashback to refresh your memory.

I probably won't be using it though, as I have been playing MG1, MG2, MGS1 through MGS3 for the past months and have finished everything again and have watched all cutscenes - it's pretty fresh in my mind now, so I don't think I will use it as I'm probably to psyched to just play :p

Whoa, is it playable, PIIIIIICS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

lol not yet. it's actually the pre-order bonus for MGS4. that's the metal gear saga dvd, which is basically a way to catch up to the series, and on the left is the paper with the code to download the MGO beta. the download will be available on the 17th of april, and the beta starts on the 21st.

There's not one retail store here participating in the pre-order action as well :( which makes me really sad... I really wanted to play it and was willing to shell out cash

Keito when I lived in holland I usually ordered from play.com, as it was cheap + free post.

http://www.play.com/Games/PlayStation3/4-/...ts/Product.html <- they seem to be accepting pre-orders

    • I and many others did not vote to get out of the E.u because of Putin or Farage, we did so for our own reasons. You don't have to tel me what my own did or did not do when it comes to the E.U. The EEC is or was the European Economic Community, a different beast to what the E.U is now.The EEC was a mainly about trading, the E.U have gone far beyond that and as I have said before, is now more of a United States of Europe. The U.K did not vote to join a United States of Europe. Anyway, they did not want us in there in the first place, Charles de Gaulle stopped us joining as he claimed we didn’t agree with the core ideas of integration. He was not wrong and that is why we voted out of the E.U when the time came. I was not old enough to vote the first time. My only regret is that we did not have the referendum years ago and got out years ago. If we rejoined, we would have to agree to join the Euro and no doubt Schengen, agree with freedom of movement, we have enough problem with people coming over here as it is. i have no problem with people coming over here if they work and don't try to push their way of life onto us. The E.U has a currency, freedom of movement, an anthem a flag, a parliament, well they are there, not sure if they do anything. Don't sound like something that is just for trading. Oh yeah, also wanted a euro Army. How many stupid rules have the E.U made that we had to follow? I doubt I will see the Uk rejoin the E.U, which suits me. Oh yeah, my partner is Polish, she came over here before Poland joined the E.U and she got fed up of people just coming over here with ease, while she had to struggle. She is now a British citizen and have been for a fair few years

    • Screamer is 50% off on Steam, making it £24.99 here in the UK: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2814990/Screamer/ You might remember the series from the mid 90s / early 2000s, this new game is also by Milestone who created the older games.
    • U.S. partially reverses Anthropic AI ban for Mythos but keeps Fable 5 off the market by Karthik Mudaliar Anthropic says that the U.S. government has finally allowed it to restore Claude Mythos 5. But of course, there's a catch. The rollout is again for a limited set of U.S. organizations that operate and defend critical infrastructure. The company announced this in a post on X (formerly Twitter). This does not mean that Anthropic's latest frontier models are back to normal availability. Fable 5, which was a tuned version of Mythos 5 for public release, remains unavailable. Anthropic said that it is still working with the government to expand Mythos 5 access and make Fable 5 available again, but there's no timeline. Reports from Bloomberg and Reuters say that this decision actually came through a letter from the U.S. Commerce Department. According to Reuters, this would allow more than 100 companies and institutions access to Mythos 5. Reuters also reported that Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick’s letter removes the need for export licenses for approved companies’ non-US citizen employees, as well as Anthropic’s own non-US citizen employees, while restrictions remain for organizations outside the approved list. Anthropic isn't alone with this kind of controlled rollout. OpenAI's newest model family, GPT 5.6, was announced just yesterday, but isn't available for everyone yet. In its announcement, OpenAI also said that access to these models is initially limited to a select group of trusted partners and organizations, with broader access planned later this year. Both of these cases show that frontier AI launches are no longer just ordinary product releases and more like slow and vetted deployments shaped heavily by the U.S. government.
