Hey, Britain, You Are Getting The Gun Metal Gray PS3

Heh. Oops. Looks like you are getting that "gun metal gray" limited edition PlayStation 3 after all, European friends. That's according to Play.com who says that they're getting the exclusive bundle?featuring the uniquely colored PS3 with a 40GB hard drive and a copy of Metal Gear Solid 4?which conflicts with a report we read at GameSpot last night. We're not sure how this could possibly be miscommunicated, as GameSpot UK says it confirmed with Konami that there would be no such package.

The Play.com exclusive MGS4 bundle rings in at ?329.99 and is scheduled to ship on June 12. Let's just hope the Play.com doesn't buckle under the traffic like some other online outlets did.

I'm a sucker when it comes to LE's, but there is not a chance in hell I'd pay ?80 for the MGS4. It's ahuge rip off>. Even the Halo 3 Legendary cost less and look how much came with it. Bioshock LE (which includes a figure, bonus dvd + sound track, tin case & fancy packaging) cost half the price!

Does this LE Gun Metal PS3 come with a DS3 controller? If not, this a joke really.

So US are getting the 80GB edition which will also have BC while Europe while we get a crippled 40GB.

Do you ever stop moaning? You clearly don't want a PS3, we know that. Let it go.

nothing crippled about 40GB. Just buy DS3 controllers if they're so important, really.

They should be included at this point, really.

What's with this spending mentality? Oh, just get a new controller, oh just upgrade the HDD - Not everyone has money growing out the ass.

Consumers want the best product out of the box, not some crippled half-arsed product. ( And by crippled I mean the Sixaxis, horrible POS )

It's called end of line stock, you want a cheap bundle for a game you'll get price cut features. as for other bundles or consoles soley they do come with them but it's just a way sony is off loading stock so if you're after a bargain that's what you'll get. and just cause it doesn't vibrate doesn't make it a p.o.s or crippled it still works and does the same things it needs to. I have a 60GB model and use sixaxis controllers because they're fine and do what it needs to do to play the games just cause it doesn't vibrate or have blue lights under it or painted silver or whatever doesn't make it half arsed or stupid.

So like i say its not a mentality of having lots of money, if this bundle doesn't suit your needs with DS3 then just buy the console not in the bundle and you're fine, ok it may not be gun metal grey or whatever but again reiterates my point just cause it isn't grey doesn't make it half arsed and useless or anything it's same console everyone else has just a different paint job.

At least it comes with the game (damn you Halo LE 360...) :p

But I do agree the DS3 really should be out in the UK by now...

Luckily I'm sitting in America with a DS3 in front of me... Unluckily I have no PS3 to use till im home :laugh:

    • Linux 7.2's first release candidate gets off to a good start

      By zikalify · Posted

      Linux 7.2's first release candidate gets off to a good start by Paul Hill Credit: Larry Ewing It has been a few weeks since the release of Linux 7.1, and in that time, the Linux 7.2 merge window has been open, where developers can submit their features and patches ready for the upcoming release. That window is now shut, and the release candidate phase has begun so that new features can be tested and further fixes applied. According to the founder of Linux, Linus Torvalds, this week’s release candidate looks “reasonably normal”. Although we are super early in the release candidates, this is a good sign as it makes it more likely that an eighth release candidate will not be needed. Torvalds even mentioned that the update’s stats are only larger than they really are because there was another AMD header drop with a third of the patch just being AMD GPU register definitions, which aren’t big changes but make the code contributed look larger overall. In addition to this, he noted that just over half the patch is drivers, even when excluding the AMD register dump. The rest of the changes are spread out over architecture updates, tooling, documentation, and core kernel updates. In the next week, Torvalds says that he will be chilling out, taking the week “mostly off”. Despite this, he will be reading emails and keeping up with things, so if he is slow responding, now you know why. He said he is hoping for a calm week, but we will just have to see if the second release candidate is actually like that. We should expect seven or eight release candidates before Linux 7.2 is released, so expect it around the end of August. If you missed it a few weeks ago, be sure to check out our coverage of Linux 7.1's release.

      Ridiculous claim that the labor cost difference of $6000 annually would increase cost per phone by $200. The employees produce 3 phones per month or what?

      And I just bought a seat cushion for my mesh chair. The chair feels nice but the first time I sat in it with boxers, I realized I don't like the feel of mesh on my legs. 😂
