Peace Walker Bundle Sneaks In As MGS5 Branding Appears
This new bundle will include a "Spirited Green" PSP-3000, a copy of the related game, download codes for extra content and an as-yet-undetermined movie, and a 2GB Pro Duo stick at an MSRP of $200, or $30 more than just the PSP. This puts it just in line with all the other Entertainment Packs - any way you look at it, you're getting the game and a memory stick at a discount, and a shiny, dark cyan PSP.
Of all the PSP bundles in recent memory, this one seems the most likely to draw in franchise fans who haven't had interest in the system yet. While Kojima's earliest countdowns claimed Peace Walker to be an "MGS 5 class game," even newer revelations on the official blog actually show marketing with the words Metal Gear Solid 5: Peace Walker. It's a bit of a shame this branding wasn't quicker, as there are still plenty of Snake loyalists out there who might only be seeing this game as a spinoff. I guess the rebranding will give Kojima time to consider porting this one to console platforms, at least.
However you want to number it, Peace Walker and its attendant bundle will be coming to North America on June 8.
