Guys Upstairs - Tech

The Metal Gear Solid 4 “Gun Metal Gray” Playstation 3 was previously only available through the Konami website at a premium of $600. Last week it was reported that the bundle could be pre-ordered through Amazon for $450. The price has now been dropped to a mere $400. The bundle contains the 40GB version and will be released on November 4th.

I personally like the gun metal color more than the traditional Sony “Piano Black,” but nothing can compare to the MGS4 PS3 mod by the guys over at Morpheon Mods. The unit is even signed by Hideo Kojima himself when the world tour stopped in NYC. The front of the PS3 is a giant black laser etching of Solid Snake while the other side is decorated with the Fox Hound logo. The entire thing is covered in digital camouflage and has a laser cut Metal Gear Solid 4 marquee. It’s also lit up with 15 white micro LEDs. Best of all, this was created using an original 60GB PS3 so it’s got full backwards compatibility. It sold for $17,100 on eBay with 15% of the proceeds going to Child’s Play Charity.
