Metal Gear Solid 4 preview for the PS3

As the final instalment of the Metal Gear Solid series, you wouldn't expect it to go out with anything less than a bang, and to that extent, no less than three bundles are planned for the Japanese launch. A normal edition, with Metal Gear Online starter disc will sit side by side with a collector's edition, and even a limited edition PS3, that comes complete with a collector's copy of the game, and a limited edition Dual Shock 3.

Hold on, Metal Gear Online?
The online component of MGS4, Metal Gear Online is everything you could hope it would be. Letting up to sixteen players duke it out online, there'll be a heavy emphasis on team-based stealth play, requiring you to sneak up on other players rather than run in all guns blazing.
