PS3 80GB MGS4 Bundle
Amazon.com
As DVD playback made the PlayStation 2 more than just a game machine, hefty multi-media features make the Sony PlayStation 3 an even more versatile home entertainment machine. Features such as video chat, Internet access, digital photo viewing, and digital audio and video will likely make it the central component of your media set-up. Still, it is first and foremost a game console--a powerful one at that. Now you can own this powerful console and start playing the most anticipated game of the year, Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, right out of the box! Under the Hood of the PS3
The PS3 features IBM's "Cell" processor and a co-developed Nvidia graphics processor that makes the system able to perform two trillion calculations per second. That's approximately 320 times more calculations per second than the PS2. Along with the traditional AV and composite connections, it also boasts an HDMI port, which delivers uncompressed, unconverted digital picture and sound to compatible high-definition TV and projectors. The system is capable of 128-bit pixel precision and 1080p resolution for a full HD experience. | Bundled Playstation 3 Includes

| Playstation 3 Features Blu-Ray is the New Way
Sony's PlayStation 3 games are encoded onto the Blu-Ray disc media format, which can hold six times as much data as traditional DVDs. This increase in capacity--combined with the awesome power of its processor and graphics card--promises mind-blowing games once developers have learned how to fully harness the new console's power. The PS3 will also support CD-ROM, CD-RW, DVD, DVD-ROM, DVD-R, DVD+R formats. In addition, PlayStation 3 system software update version 2.20 and up includes BD Live support. With this you can now play discs that support Blu-ray Disc Profile 2.0 (BD-LIVE) and you can also connect to the Internet while playing discs that support this format so that you can obtain additional features. Features that are available vary depending on the software in use. - The Dualshock 3 Rumble Wireless Controller
The Dualshock 3 Rumble wireless controller for the PlayStation 3 system provides the most intuitive game play experience with pressure sensors in each action button and the inclusion of the highly sensitive SIXAXIS motion sensing technology. Each hit, crash and explosion is more realistic when the user feels the rumble right in the palm of their hand. It can even detect natural movements for real-time and high precision interactive play, acting as a natural extension of the user’s body. Dualshock 3 wireless controller utilizes Bluetooth technology for wireless game play and the controller’s USB cable to seamlessly and automatically charge the controller through the PlayStation 3 system at anytime. - Plays All PlayStation Games
The PlayStation 3 will be backward compatible with PlayStation and PlayStation 2 games, which means you'll be able to play all your favorite games without keeping all the old systems. The console will have slots for Memory Stick Duo, an SD slot and a Compact Flash memory slot. It comes with a pre-installed hard disc drive, which allows you to save games as well as download content from the Internet.
- Included in this bundle Metal Gear Solid 4!
Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, is a next-gen experience complete with top-of-the-line graphics and surround sound designed for the Sony PlayStation 3. Featuring the most revealing display of Kojima Production's premier title, MSG4 details the world where Snake must under go his final mission. In a world overrun by private military companies (PMCs), wars are no longer fought over nations or ideologies. Instead, the wars of the future are micro-managed by overarching PMCs, right down to the bullet. New gadgets and abilities fuel Snake's journey deep into the enemy domains of the Middle East, South America, and beyond. New gear includes "Metal Gear Mk. II," the ultimate reconnaissance tool, and "Solid Eye," which gives Snake real-time information on enemies and his surroundings. Joined by a familiar cast of characters, Snake must once again return to the battlefield to confront his lifelong rival, Liquid Ocelot, who is manipulating the world's wars from the one world where soldiers will always have a place. But Liquid Ocelot is not the only one who will be able to manipulate the world's wars--Snake can destabilize opposing forces by working behind the scenes, supporting the local militia as they fight PMCs, creating a smokescreen that allows Snake to move freely within the war-zone.
- Online
Sony has stated that the PS3 will have similar online connectivity and services as the next generation of Xbox Live. Calling it "an always on, always connected device," SCEI's chief technical officer Masa Chatani said the PS3 would be constantly in touch with a "PlayStation World" network "fundamentally based on community, communication commerce, and content." Technically, the infrastructure is there to make that connection. The PS3 supports 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, 1000BASE-T Ethernet, as well as IEEE 802.11 b/g wireless networking protocols.

 PS3 MGS4 August 28, 2008
I've had the PS3 MGS package for only about a month now and here are my initial impressions (I bought this before the new 80gb was released and before the 160gb package was announced):
system
pros: great graphics, also a bluray player, comes with dualshock 3, comes with MGS4 ($60 value), free access to the playstation internet network, wifi receiver built in, free download of pain game, backwards compatibility
cons:
some games (even some on blueray discs) need to be downloaded, playstation still has the longest load times, no IR receiver on the system, expensive price
game:
I'm not done it yet (prob about half way through)
pros: so far has lived up to the hype and followed the true MGS tradition, improved controls, graphics are incredible, new online play
cons: storyline is as complicated as ever, some cut-scenes are way too long-you should be able to go back and view them when you have time later, tough game to put down (madden is getting jealous)
I'll update this with more details once I complete the game and have the system for a longer period of time
if you are definitely going to buy MGS4 and want backwards compatibility for PS2 and PS1 games then I would get this over the new 80gb version. Otherwise the new 80gig is probably for you.
Keep in mind these are hard to come by.
 A Dual Review.....MARVELOUS!!!!! August 26, 2008
Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots is a marvelous blend of video game and cinematic experience!! I have only played Sons of Liberty before and found it somewhat incomplete and limited in detail. But this game has combined cutting edge graphics, wonderful gameplay, endless weaponry options and a mesmorizing storyline beautifully complimented by one of the most moving and powerful musical scores ever in a videogame bar none!! This game not only captures the imagination but the flawless storyline and ending lift the human spirit through the rollercoaster of tragedy and triumph.
I purchased the 80GB Playstation 3 Metal Gear Solid Package over the Motorstorm package and I have been absolutely blown away!! Getting an 80GB Playstation 3 was wonderful in itself but getting a bundle with this incredible game included for $500.00 was an absolute treat!! I am overjoyed!! Thanks a million Sony!! You have done it again!!!
The PS3 is great, XBOX 360 is a better value and better online August 25, 2008

The 360 comes with a 3 year warranty, has more and better games and is better online. The PS3 is difficult and requires too many accounts to get online.
Obviously, I bought a PS3 from AMZN to rate this. So I own both and am inpartial.
 Sony Quality Issues August 24, 2008
I'm not really much of a gamer, but wanted a future-proof Blu Ray player, and so far have been disappointed. When it works, it's a beautiful with great sound - just what you need for a big-screen TV. Unfortunately, in the five weeks I've had it, it's spent two weeks so far going back to Sony for repair, and it's heading back there again. When I first got it, it got 1/3 way through the first Blu-ray movie, then the picture started breaking up and quickly failed with some error codes that the disk could not be read. I tried all the suggestions on the Sony web site and finally had to go through the process of submitting an online problem report, waiting for them to send a "coffin", send it off to Sony, wait for it to show up, then wait at home for it to be delivered since it must be signed for in person by an adult upon delivery. Whotta pain.
Got the unit back and it worked for a week or so, but now it doesn't even see disks inserted in the drive. Time for a couple of more weeks of downtime for repairs and another day having to wait at home or going to UPS to sign for it. Sony's zero for two on this. Very disappointing.
Gaming for the older/young generations... August 21, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I just bought this in the past few weeks just for the simple fact that I bought a new 52" Sony Bravia television and I wanted a blu-ray player to go with it. Boy was I in for a surprise! The game metal gear is not a game I have played for years but the graphics alone made this game one of my favorites of all time. I also own a wii, which now collects lots of dust and only my younger girls play the wii anymore. I've been a gamer for years and this is the console for the 20-and-up crowd. The wii is fun, but for pure gaming, the PS3 has no comparison. The 1080p graphics and BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY of PS2 games is also a huge plus! The only negative I have had with this console is that it does run hot, so don't enclose it in anything like a cabinet or anything. It puts out massive amounts of heat due to that cell processor running. Have not had any problems with overheating or anything, but stuff was getting warm that was placed around it. But overall, you will not be disappointed in this console. Now, off to try out Madden 09 on this....I can't wait!
