Metal Gear Solid 5 gets special edition PS4

Specially branded bundle launching next month in Japan alongside Ground Zeroes; no word on Western release.

To celebrate the launch of Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes next month, Sony will release a special edition PlayStation 4 console in Japan, the company has announced through the Japanese Sony Store.

As you can see in the image above, the console features the well-known Fox emblem and is thusly dubbed the "Fox Edition." The bundle is priced at ¥46,980 (around $460) and includes a copy of the game. It's not clear if Sony plans to offer the Fox Edition in the United States or Europe.

The limited edition Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes PS4 bundle is not much of a surprise, as series creator Hideo Kojima cryptically teased last week that a "[SONY] x [PS4] x [MGS GZ] collaboration initiative is in progress."

Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes, a prequel to Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, launches in the United States on March 18 for PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One. The PS4 version runs in 1080p, while the Xbox One iteration runs at 720p.

The chance that there will be special edition of PS4 console is very slim due to 30 days merchandise return law in US. The proof is as you could see while Japan have so many special or limited edition of PS3 and PS Vita, we hardly see one in US except Assassin Creed version of PS Vita.

Special edition of a 2 hour long game? Are you kidding me?

That should be called Ultra Sucker Edition!

Hey Kojima, don't be shy abusing (even more) only your dumb japanese fans! I'm pretty sure there will be plenty of dumb fans(aka suckers) to buy it round here too!

@danielbirchal I haven't gotten my PS4 yet, I was waiting for a nice special edition to come around, so to me this sounds pretty cool actually.

not very impressed. I think it could have been a lot cooler if it had a skin like the exoskeleton gray fox wears. now that would get sony fans drooling.

I'm dissapointed, it may as well have been a sticker. At the very least it should be made in the form of a Cardboard box :/

Got to be honest, it's a little tacky looking. Japan can keep it.

kojima not ready to part ways with sony, he's got financial support for mgs series back then from sony so must be hard for him when he got the order to make the game a multiplat from konami.

Indeed, he did it against his will but I can't see why would be hard to him,

since he dont even bother to optimize other platforms. He just did a lazy poor port.

@ohyde123 I hope he does announce it as a ps4 exclusive tbh, just to shut the xbots up for a month. they literally cannot accept the ps4 is better, even when the facts are right in front of them clear as day.

Love how they mention the resolution again at the end. The gaming media isn't even trying to hide their pom-poms.

I bet they are saving a better bundle for the phantom pain, since MGS4 got the highest end PS3 bundle at that time.

ill probably get this since i am getting a PS4 and ground zeroes anyway might as well get a slightly better looking PS4 tho ill admit its not an amazing design its just a small logo it still looks a bit better then a regular PS4 and even if ground zeroes is short i am getting it anyway as metal gear games are story focused so i don't want to miss out on any important story bits plus doesn't the 2-3 hours storyline only make up like 10% of ground zeroes

I'll admit I was pretty excited to see how cool it would look like, a gunmetal PS4 perhaps? but no it looks like someone just stamped a (insert kiddy logo here) to a Ferrari, I'm not saying the Fox logo is bad but it's completely out of place & looks hideous imo.

I would have like a North American release. But Japan always gets the good bundles and special edition consoles.

$460 dollars for a special edition of a game that is only 2 hours long?

Looks like they just took took a gold Sharpie to the removable panel.

<< LINK REMOVED >> yea. it is likely sony didn't have the means of manufacturing a special edition with engravings on the console body itself due to the fact they can't keep up with the demand as it is. perhaps mgs v phantom pain will get the real special edition console?

this is a pretty weak special edition. lets be honest. since the decoration is on the removable sliding panel, knockoffs are probably being manufactured as we speak. there is little reason to get this whatsoever.
