Look At All That Sony Swag

Sony came out with a veritable cornucopia of announcements today. The timing is a little odd, coming as it does just after GDC. The vagaries of Sony PR are confounding and mysterious.

First up is the news that there shall be an 80GB Playstation 3 bundle which includes Metal Gear Solid 4 and a Dual Shock 3 controller*. That is one mighty bundle of gaming bliss. Alongside that, we learn that MGS4 will be hitting our shores on June 12, and the DS3 controller will be available in April for (a slightly cringeworthy) $55 USD. Thankfully most of the big games for PS3 have already been patched to support the rumble features.

Furthermore, those who engage in that damnable custom of pre-ordering shall be reserved a guaranteed place in the upcoming beta trial of Metal Gear Online, the multiplayer-only title set in the MGS universe. (No word on how exactly one secures that valuable perk yet.)

And finally we have a pretty sweet new PSP bundle â€“ the God of War: Chains of Olympus game, a copy of Superbad on (snicker) UMD, and a voucher for a free download of Syphon Filter: Combat Ops. Oh, and the unit itself has been tastefully dipped in the blood of your fallen enemies. Mr. Happy himself, Kratos, is silk-screened onto the back, in a manner similar to the white Star Wars PSP bundle with Darth.

* Where'd they get the idea that a special edition bundle shouldn't be a puke green console, and actually include the game it's named after? That's just crazy.
