After announcing last month that the next PlayStation 3 bundle would feature Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, new images of the bundle box have been revealed, bringing with it some fine details.

Amazon.com has shown off what looks to be the official box art for the MGS4 bundle and it is a bit different from the original showing that Sony had displayed a little over a month ago. The bundle packaging has been changed from the original black box to a white box and it now features a "DUALSHOCK 3 COMPATIBLE" icon as well as the PlayStation Network logo. The bundle cover also shows the Metal Gear Solid 4 official game box.

This new bundle will come packaged with a 80GB PlayStation 3 console, the Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots game and a DualShock 3 controller. It will be available on June 12 2008 for $499.99 in the US, alongside the standalone release of the title.

    Only in Japan my friend. Kinda sucks huh? I didn't think that was the game box art. I thought it looked different? Doesn't matter, it's gonna be something great. Have you guys read the articles of the chosen few who got to play it from beginning to end next to Kojima? They're saying it's AMAZING.

    Ya those people who played through the game said it was ridiculously amazing, and is one of the few games that would ever live up to the hype.

    Anyway it goes, it looks nice and is a system seller. Though a system being a system seller dosn't sound right, it is!

    My god this game is going to be huge.  I can't wait to see what happens in this story.  I can't believe how long I've been into Metal Gear.  From the first MG on the NES.

    @ WISHBONE, no, your plan is not going to work. First of all, they won't give u a new PS3 after you returning an old one. They might give u a referbished one, depending if u still have your warrante. sry to break it to u. believe me, i hve the 60 gig too and if your plan worked, i would do it too.

    HEY WISHBONE AND ALTBRIDGE...... iF you did buy a 2 year plan on your ps3 from bestbuy like i did. Yes you can trade it in and get the 80gb and then get $100 back on a gift card. I did it with my 60gb to get the 80 plus motostorm,5 free blu rays, plus 100 dollers and i got to keep my crappy free movie talliadaga nights so yes it will.  trust me i have dont it and i am so happy i am doing it when MGS4 comes out to to get that ame for free to.

    Hey guys, or better yet PSU!!!  Is that image on the ps3 just a reflection of snake or is SNAKE GOING TO BE ETCHED INTO THE TOP OF THE PS3!  Hopefully someone has a answer for me.

    I feel like I should have a DS3 up my azs right now.  DS3, game, 20GB+, and $100 cheaper.  Almost makes me regret buying my 60GB in the beginning.  Throw me a freakin DS3 Sony.
