DAMN IT SONY! Show some love over here in the states. Please for the love of Sniper Wolf spread the wealth. If they had this same bundle here in the states, it would be a very hot summer for Sony.

Why in the world does Japan get all of the PS3 colors, I just don't get it. Sony really likes treating it's Japanese customers to the goodies. But here in the U.S. we get the 80GB PS3 MGS4 bundle, so it all works out nicely.

 

If Sony comes out with a Slim PS3, I hope that they come out with different colors here in the U.S. or something, because I'm definanlty going to buy a second PS3 if they do.

I don't understand why Sony would release them in a variety of colors in Japan and sometimes Europe, but never North America?  Nothing bugs me more than having the same color console as everybody else.  It makes other people think that people in North America have no taste.  Sure, Sony released a white color PSP in North America, but that isn't enough.  Wake up and smell the coffee.  People in North America want variety, not generic.

Why won't sony import these options to the US? On another note, I have been playing the MGO beta since yesterday, and I'm not really that impressed. I think it will be fine if they just include it with the game, but I can't see anyone paying for it seperately. The game just doesn't seem to make sense in a multiplayer format, the controls feel a little clunky, and the stealth aspect of the game is lost. It just ends up feeling like very slow paced third person shooter. I still have high hopes for the single player though.
