Japan getting Metal Gear Rising PS3 bundle

Japanese PlayStation 3 owners will be treated to a sumptuous ‘Zan Datsu’ edition of Sony’s flagship console to coincide with the launch of Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance.

The bundle includes a custom-designed 250GB PS3 Super Slim, a DualShock pad, a copy of Metal Gear Rising and download codes for a PS3 theme and the Cyborg Ninja costume. Gematsu reports that it’ll cost 31,960 yen.

Elsewhere, Siliconera has caught wind of a Metal Gear Rising demo that will land on PSN in Japan on December 13. Apparently it’s the same one packaged with the Zone of the Enders HD Collection that the gaming press has been lapping up. No word on a western release but we’ll keep you posted.

Metal Gear Rising will be unleashed in stores for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in February 2013. In Japan the game is a PS3-exclusive and won’t be released there for Microsoft’s console.

Stay tuned to PSU.com for more details on the game as we get them.
