Metal Gear Solid 5 Special Edition PS4 Coming to Europe

This red-and-black console also comes with extra DLC and a special controller.

84 Comments

Sony will release a special edition PlayStation 4 system themed around Konami's Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain later this year in Europe, Australia, and New Zealand, the company announced on Tuesday.

No Caption Provided

This console, which will also be available in Japan, sports a nice red-and-black color scheme, also featuring gold accents. This is inspired by Snake's Bionic Arm, Sony explains.

The special edition PS4 console will be accompanied by a metallic grey DualShock 4 controller, which is based on Snake's handgun. Both the console and the controller also feature the Diamond Dogs emblem.

What's more, anyone who buys this package will receive a special "Day 1 Edition" of The Phantom Pain, which includes "bonus downloadable content," though it was not named outright.

Alongside the spiffy-looking red-and-black PS4, Sony will also ship a system bundle that comes with a regular black console and the Day 1 Edition of the stealth-action game. Both will be available on September 1, which is The Phantom Pain's official worldwide release date.

Konami has not announced either bundle for a release in the United States.

GameSpot editor Peter Brown recently got to play a chunk of The Phantom Pain. You can read his thoughts in this just-published preview.

Dear Sony,

If you sell this (in the US), sales will come. (see "Field of Dreams", 1989)

That is pretty darn ugly, although I am sure some will disagree.

I hate the new comment system. There are no likes and this takes away a real impetus to read the comments.

If I wanted to just wade through boring text, I'd write my own program.

For those that agree, apparently there is a thread here: http://www.gamespot.com/forums/bug-reporting-feedback-1000006/new-commenting-system-feedback-thread-32021696/

My suspicion is that they want to take the voice away from users who can no longer vocalize which comments they agree with.

*Cancels Batman PS4, crosses fingers for U.S. release. *

My PS3 was the MGS4 Spec Ed. so this would be a nice addition.

@skrilla99: My MGS4 PS3 lasted until last year, then I got the YLOD. I got it fixed, but even so, it probably will YLOD again at some point.

Fortunately I also have a PS3 slim.

I also have a PS4, but if I could get this red PS4, I'd sell the one I own!

It's so pretty, do want :D

Though I'm in a weird dilemma: I don't want to support Konami after their latest antics, but I DO want to support Kojima and his dev team... Gah, decisions D:

I love it. When NA gets exclusive consoles Europe bitches about getting screwed over and when the opposite happens NA bitches about being screwed over. Just import it if you want the console so badly.

Thats cool. But why do you always screw over your fans in the US? You know, your biggest customer? I want this bundle as a huge MGS fan and you're screwing me and all the others.

@bubba_1988: I think the point was no one should be missing out in this aspect when it comes to wanting a themed system. One would think it would be available in as many places as possible because businesses are wanting to make money, but that doesn't always happen.

Looks real nice, but 500gb is just no where near enough space for this gen of consoles.

@muzza93: Just install a bigger HDD yourself. It's simple, easy, and you can copy your current HDD to the new one, and it doesn't void your warranty. The PS3 was the same way, but for the most part, last gen wasn't so demanding of HDD space. However, I actually did throw a 500GB HDD in my PS3 because I'm a PS+ member and those free games really started to fill up my 120GB HDD that the thing came with.

Eventually, I'll probably replace the 500GB HDD in my PS4. You can even buy an accessory that will let you use a 3.5" desktop HDD instead of a 2.5" laptop HDD.

You can probably find a new 1TB HDD for around $80.

@muzza93: Unless you're a hoarder (in which case, why?) it is enough. I have a 250gb ssd with about 100gb free right now. I uninstall games after I finish playing them. There's netflix for movies and tv shows.. Music I can understand..

@Cruxis27: If a hoarder is someone who owns more than 10 games than yeah I am.

Lately I have been having to delete game saves when I buy new games (I dont download anything). I dont have anything stored on my PS4 except for games and I've run out of room about 3 times so far. Then going on a mass deleting spree. The next time I news to make room ill have to resort to deleting things id rather keep.
