Whereas Konami’s bundle includes Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater and, for the first time on consoles, Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, Zavvi’s PS3-only bundle is to come in steelbook packaging, and also include a copy of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots and a PSN code to download the first Metal Gear Solid game. In addition, it would include limited edition art cards. If that weren’t enough, only 4000 copies would be produced.
However, Zavvi’s bundle has vanished from the site, and neither Konami nor Zavvi have responded to press inquiries regarding the disappearance.
It could be that Konami decided to revoke Zavvi’s license to publish the limited edition, at least until after Konami’s bundle had been released. Or, Zavvi may have found the venture unprofitable.
Metal Gear Solid HD Bundle is due to be released on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 on the 3rd February, 2012.
