Each retailer will have its own policies regarding what to buy with the system, but Wal-Mart clearly has the competition beat with its generous bonus $100 gift card -- an incentive that will also work with this lucrative bundle. Getting a free $100 for buying the Metal Gear bundle? How generous.
If you can't make a Wal-Mart, you may want to try any of these other options:
- amazon.com is already sold out
- Best Buy is holding multiple midnight launches this Wednesday night.
- Circuit City has pre-orders available, but you must buy an extra Blu-ray remote (total: $525).
- EB Games/Gamestop online pre-orders are sold out -- check midnight launches.

For those of us that just need the game:

Comes out to $52.24 and free shipping. That's $10+ cheaper than local stores since you'll have to pay tax at local stores.

If you are in NYC, you can buy the bundle at Virgin Megastore during the signing of Metal Gear Solid 4 with Kojima.

I work at Best Buy and they will definitely price match as long as your local wal-mart has stock.

Is the wal-mart deal for the MGS bundle in print somewhere? Do you need proof to give to Best Buy?

Anybody find out what the surprise is that Ryan Payton was talking about??
"Believe it or not, I've been so busy working on a special surprise for MGS4 buyers (that not even those who have leaked copies of the game can spoil! Haha!), that I haven't had time to catch up on most of the pre-launch excitement."
I hope it's not for people that only buy their copy at gamestop.

you should check how many bundles your gamestop will before you show up and get disappointed....mine had only 4.
And for the circuit city bundle, if you dont want the remote you can return it to the store after you buy it online after is ships. And shipping is free.

I called walmart and the lady says they have the MGS bundles instock but she thinks they are 40gb bundles. But she did say that they are white boxes, contrasting the usual black boxes they get in. Does this mean it is indeed an 80gb and she is confused?
Has anyone found the actual bundle on the wal-mart web page? I cant seem to find it with their search.

The only MGS4 bundle is with an 80GB unit, in a white box.

I'm pretty sure that if you get the bundle at CC you get a FREE BluRay remote.
At least that's what our add said (I work there.)

I can't see how they would price match if there's no actual discount being given at Walmart - just a bonus gift card. Or do you mean that Best Buy would give out a gift card to match?
