Apparently, the dudes over at Japan's Famitsu have gotten into a sudden bit of Solid Snake-lovin'. This week's publication has unveiled new details about the upcoming Metal Gear Solid 4 bundles, and an upcoming MGS1 release to PSN.

With regard to MGS4, the magazine indicates that the game's stock Blu-Ray release will cost ¥ 8,800 (US$ 91). The MGS4 special edition pack, which will carry the game plus a disc containing trailers and a making-of video, will cost ¥ 9,800 (US$ 101).

The MGS4 PlayStation 3 bundle will cost ¥51,800 (US$ 534), and will carry all the goodies included in the special edition pack. The PS3 in particular will carry a special "Steel" (aka Hagane) paint scheme. All three bundles will also carry a copy of Metal Gear Online.

Moving on, Famitsu also disclosed (report from GEMAGA.com) that Sony's readying Metal Gear Solid for the PSP this spring via the PlayStation Network. The game will cost ¥ 600 (US$ 6), although no exact dates were cited. That's all the details we've got for the moment - drop by again in case we pick up more info. Here's to hoping MGS gets a similar release in the other parts of the world.

$91 is a lot... may as well only sell the special edition bundle of the game since its only $10 more than the normal bundle of it.(according to those prices above.)

if those actually turn out to be close(like $89.99 and $99.99) to the real US prices i probably will buy the special edition just because $10 is too small of a difference to buy the stock version.
