Preorder PS3 MGS4 Bundle at CC
For those of you who are looking to get your hand on one of these bundles on release date there is now a preorder available from Circuit City with Free Shipping. These are the 80GB PS3's with new dual shock controllers and Metal Gear Solid 4.

http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/So...tDetail.do

Just some more info....

The 80GB PS3's were discontinued for a while because Sony didn't think there was much of a market for them. When they discontinued them many people were disappointed and Sony realized that they had made a mistake. This bundle will be the comeback for this system and everyone is expecting the demand for this 80GB PS3 to be very high. There is also talk that these 80GB may not be back for good, and possibly will only be sold again for a limited time. This system bundle with MGS4 releases on 6/12/08. I'm expecting for at least there to be an initial demand spike which may drive up prices for this system on ebay. Don't quote me on this, and I wouldn't buy these for resale, but if you're looking to buy yourself a PS3 and want the top of the end 80GB version, I would recommend that you pre-order this system.

****Please note that all my information may not be entirely correct, as it's just a ton of news/rumors that I've read as I've been following the release of this system. Please feel free to debate or correct me if you have some info that I do not.

**EDIT** It's been brought to my attention that Fry's also has this system available for Preorder (for those of you who don't have to pay tax at Fry's. (Credit: savingmommy)

Note: This is not the special edition Gun Metal edition. I don't have to much info on that one beside it's only going to be a 40GB PS3 gunmetal colored with a limited edition of MGS4. Who knows if they'll have higher resale value but to me it seems pretty worthless to get that edition just for aesthetics. Konami.com has them for preorder for 599.99 plus shipping.

Other Places to Preorder:
Amazon (has it up on there website but no info on when/if it'll actually be up for preorder): LINK [amazon.com]
Fry's (No tax for those who do not live in AZ, CA, GA, OH, TX, NV,WA, IL or IN. But they do charge shipping.): LINK [outpost.com]

Fry's.com also has it available for pre-order. For those who do not live in AZ, CA, GA, OH, TX, NV,WA, IL or IN they do not charge tax. But they do charge shipping.

For some it will be cheaper to pre-order from Fry's instead of CC's because of the tax. For me - CC charges me $38 in taxes w/ free shipping while Fry's charges me $17 for 2-day ($11 for ground) and no tax.

Amazon will ultimately be cheaper for most - but Fry's deal is available for those who don't want to wait.

LE & bigger HD bundle ideas?

Anyone have a plan/method on how to get the LIMITED EDITION version of the game *and* an 80GB PS3?

AND/OR... does anyone know if the 40GB MGS4 PS3 on the KONAMI site is capable of having it's hard drive upgraded (like other PS3s)?

TIA

Sure, you could upgrade the HDD, but you won't have any backwards compatibility. That's one of the big reasons people are waiting around for an 80 gb

Sure, buy the 80gb bundle and the MGS4 Limited Edition game from Gamestop. Sell the one that came with the bundle.

I preordered it from frys, but I just got an e-mail last night saying they are "out of stock" for the preorders. I'm on a backorder list now...I'd rather wait for it anyway. I'm in no rush to get it until GT5 comes out to be honest.

I'm wondering, why are most of you waiting for Amazon?

[edit] I take that back, no tax and free shipping...

They had closed for preorders, but it's available again now. I really wonder if/how/when Amazon is going to do it, though.
