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:

I looked under ''coming soon'' and the gun metal grey was available

It's listed but there is no option to preorder and there is no information on release etc.

    • Do you live in the U.K? Do any of the people here that are against the UK leaving the E.U, live in the U.K? If not then why are you bothered? If you do live here then it is a different thing . Brexit was a good idea, should have done it years before, it was done badly, but the idea was good. You are saying the same thing as remainers do, oh we did what Putin wanted, we listened to the lies and Farage. I hate Farage and never believed most of what he said, certainly did not believe the £350m a week for the NHS. But we did pay a lot of money to the E.U and yes some of it came back, but what is the point of paying it out for only some of it to come back? Get out of the E.U, no money to them and in theory we can use the money to do things in the country. I said in theory, but our governments are a total and complete waste of space. No matter what colour rosette they wear. You and others say it was a mistake and yet the two main parties in the U.K are not looking at rejoining the EU, I wonder why that is? I was not tricked by anyone. Makes no odds now, we are out and have been for 10 years, what we need is a decent government to run the country. All they do is shout at each other like a load of kids and seems to do nothing and make this country more into a police and nanny state. Getting more like China all the time.

    • Yeah... The root of my comment, ostensibly, is how to spin the story via the actual technical merits of the solution! * Decentralized (aka federated) solution with built-in encrypted ephemeral message transport, * Transport via Relays (intermediary servers) with no message archival, * Second configurable pathway are actual email servers (if DNS records are programmed accordingly) via IMAP protocols carriage, * "Chat-over-Email" is the design pattern adopted; it can either leverage full-blown Email Server (must use the INBOX folder) to exchange all received messages/edits/reactions (so be weary of notifications overloads) [best practice is creating a separate email acct used explicitly for federated chat purposes!] or leverage its built-in Relay Server mechanism which actually resides on-device (by default but can be configured otherwise), * By virtue of be a decentralized/federated model, all other intermediary servers who may pass-along messages (while the recipient's final relay/device is inaccessible) cannot snoop on the messages due to the encrypted nature of contents. The intermediaries may, however, analyze the metadata due to the simple fact that routing mechanisms require hints for relay destinations. Unfortunately, whomever is posting about DeltaChat across socials are misleading with "zero metadata" claims -- especially when the Relays (according to their own technical documents) mandate the addition of chat-version metadata and other decorations in order to actually transport any message. -- Based on this summary, I'd prefer if they'd better dual-path message transport (email server add-in, federated relay engine) rather than patch-on email protocols to existing federated social media frameworks. They're frankensteining something rather than extending widely-deployed technology stacks.
    • Decentralized search result anonymization...
    • Russia invaded Crimea, so not sure what you are getting at. Are you saying that the E.U is like what the USSR was? What is wrong with wanting control over your own country? i bet Trump would not stand by and allow Canada to control the U.S.
