There will be only 25.000 unit, this pack will leave June 12 and will cost 100 euros (155.19 U.S. dollars).

The author of the forthcoming Metal Gear Solid 4 GamePro review has confirmed that the game doesn’t have a 90 Minute Cut-Scene. He told the readers "I’ve beat the game twice, and am the author of the forthcoming GamePro review," he goes on to say "Ninety-minute-long cinemas in MGS4 sounds like an exaggeration. Like the other MGS games, MGS4 definitely has a cinematic quality. And yes, some of the cut-scenes in the game are elaborate and occasionally lengthy. But not a one, to my recollection, even approaches 90 minutes ."

According to a post on the PlayStation forums, the Special Limited Edition Gun Metal Gray PS3 MGS4 bundle is selling on Ebay for about $10,000.

After seeing this on eBay, this is definitely sad! Especially for everyone who wants to actually get one for themselves, not to resell.

US $9,999.99? An extreme example! Though the Special Limited Edition Gun Metal Gray PS3 MGS4 bundle is popping up on online auction site eBay. The average starting price is over $900, which is more than Konami’s $599.99 sticker tag for the pack. Not exactly sure how this works as the bundles haven’t actually been shipped to customers or even eBay’s policy on this (we imagine frowny faces). Always a shame to see profiteers move in like this! But we imagine this will persist as long as the machines are hard to get and folks are willing to part with their money. Gun Metal Gray? More like gun metal gray market.
