At the participating retailers, gamers who pre-order will receive the MGS V.2 DVD that recaps the series througn a collection of in-game media. As well, the EU Limited Edition has been confirmed to include not only the copy of the game and everything the U.S. version does (a behind-the-scenes Blu-ray Disc and a soundtrack CD), but it will also come with a six-inch Old Snake figurine - all for £79.99 RRP. You mean we get gypped on the action figure? Lame. At least I've got my Statue of Happiness replica to keep me company...
Metal Gear Solid 4: Limited Edition and Pre-Order Campaign confirmed for UK
Metal Gear Saga Vol. 2 leading a Pre-Sales initiative
Konami Digital Entertainment GmbH has announced two innovative
initiatives for the forthcoming launch of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of
the Patriots for PLAYSTATION®3 on June 12th.
In advance of the game’s release, Konami has unveiled a pre-order
campaign, which will be allied with key retail partners throughout
Europe. Consumers who pre-order a copy of Metal Gear Solid 4 can
receive an exclusive DVD entitled Metal Gear Saga Vol. 2. This
seven-part documentary details the origins of previous Metal Gear games
and the evolution of Hideo Kojima’s epic series. This gripping
documentary offers a valuable insight into the series and the history
of Metal Gear’s iconic hero, Snake.
Scheduled for release on June 12, Konami will also produce a Limited
Edition collector’s package. Destined to be a highly sought-after
compilation, the package includes a soundtrack CD, a 6” Old Snake
action figurine, and an exclusive ‘Making Of’ Blu-ray disc. The Blu-ray
disc contains two high-definition documentaries which offer a candid,
behind-the-scenes look at the development of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns
of the Patriots, with interviews with series creator Hideo Kojima and
key Kojima Productions personnel. The Limited Edition will carry a
£79.99 RRP.
“Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots is rightly seen as the
stand-out title for 2008, and we were determined to come up with
something special for its launch,” commented Martin Schneider, European
Marketing Director for Konami Digital Entertainment GmbH. “With
interest so high, it is only right that we reward fans of the series
for pre-ordering the game, and the Metal Gear Saga DVD is a stunning
look at how the series has evolved into the phenomenon it has become.
Likewise, the Limited Edition is a celebration of all things Metal
Gear, and will be prized by those who buy it.”
