Sony Computer Entertainment has announced that it is briefly resurrecting an 80 GB configuration of its PlayStation 3 video game console as part of a limited edition bundle tied to the upcoming game title Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots.
The “Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots” PlayStation 3 Hardware Bundle will feature a white-boxed 80 GB PS3 with a Dual Shock 3 rumble-enabled controller, and will include the Standard Edition of the Metal Gear Solid 4 game.
Audio gear maker JVC has decided that if you can’t bring ears to metal, they might as well bring metal to listener’s ears with their new HA-FX300 high-end "bi-metal" earbuds. The FX300s incorporate a range of sound-enhancing technologies designed to make these a distinct improvement over your average set of in-ear canal devices, including an aluminum evaporation diaphragm, and a steel-and-brass drive unit that eliminates vibration and energy loss. The FX300s also use oxygen-free copper to minimize signal loss in the one meter headphone cable.
Users can get the perfect fit with three differently-sized silicon rubber earpieces, and a pair of memory foam earpieces.
Sony’s PlayStation 3 video game platform has just been dealt another blow by game developer Konami, which has announced that the lon-gestating fourth chapter in the Metal Gear Solid game series, Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, won’t ship until the second quarter of 2008. In a brief statement (Japanese), Konami said the game was being held back to make “further improvements,” but did not cite any specific reasons for the delay.
Showbiz trade magazine Variety is reporting that Sony Pictures and game maker Konami are getting ready to make a theatrical movie based on the Metal Gear video game franchise. The Metal Gear and Metal Gear Solid video games are stealth action titles in which players guide a covert operative through a maze of guards, traps, secret bases, and hidden lairs, while taking on bosses, engaging in a few fights here and there, and eventually accomplishing the game’s mission.
Since its introduction for the PlayStation in 1998, Metal Gear Solid has sold more than 20 million copies of various franchise titles on several game platforms; the original Metal Gear game debuted way back in 1987.
Metal Gear has always been one of Konami’s most important properties. It started out in 1987 with the classic first title on the NES, and since then has ballooned into a hugely popular franchise thanks to the Metal Gear Solid games. In the past few years Konami has started a tradition, showing some flashy new Metal Gear Solid trailer at each E3, a trailer that will attract hundreds to their booth whenever it rolls, and this year is absolutely no different.
