US gamers: If for some reason, staring into Old Snake's tired eyes makes you uncomfortable, you may want to settle for Konami's special edition of the game. Exclusively available at GameStop, this edition will feature exclusive artwork by Kojima Productions illustrator Yoji Shinkawa. The Limited Edition will contain everything that is included with the Standard Edition as well as an additional Blu-ray disc featuring two "making of" documentaries. The documentaries will include extensive interviews with Metal Gear Solid creator Hideo Kojima and the Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots Soundtrack CD.
The Limited Edition will be available exclusively at GameStop for $85. Check out all high-res packaging for North America in our brand new gallery.

Unbeleive!!! Finally real art ^^....
Organic_Shadow @ Apr 10th 2008 11:39AM
I KNOW! This is how Solid Snake needs to be going out... in style. Matches and concludes all previous box arts perfectly.
Haiddasalami @ Apr 10th 2008 11:19AM
Damn. I want the LE but I am getting GTA4 LE. Come on Konami change the boxart for the standard.
matt @ Apr 10th 2008 11:27AM
Does Europe get this as well, or any Limited Editions? Because I want.
Johndude @ Apr 10th 2008 12:49PM
No doubt wel have MGS4:SUBSASTINCE or something soon enough
:)
Popfrogs @ Apr 10th 2008 1:07PM
Import.

And the great Kojima-san smiled down on my pitiful soul and threw me a breadcrumb.... YESSSS! Thank you KONAMI, thank you everyone, yes even you!

Did they say if the LE will include a regular sized PS3 case for the game in the package?
Justin @ Apr 10th 2008 11:51AM
Why wouldn't it? Not trying to be funny or anything...but has any other game had a different sized PS3 case in the LE version?
Either way, this is full of win.

This is like Pepsiman popping up as a new challenger. "OHHH SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!!1"
Patrick @ Apr 10th 2008 11:42AM
How will "the documentaries include the soundtrack CD?"
drdre74 @ Apr 10th 2008 11:53AM
too much for the little that you get for the LE version. The LE of GTA4 is what a LE is suppose to be. Who cares about a soundtrack cd.
Eggy @ Apr 10th 2008 12:46PM
You sir are an idiot. The soundtracks are made of win and far more interesting than making of crap and stuff like that.
RazLeboL @ Apr 10th 2008 2:28PM
To Eggy.
The GTAIV CE also comes with the soundtrack and an art book as well as all the other stuff.
This shouldn't be more than 79$ They really are trying to rip us off.
drdre74 @ Apr 10th 2008 3:41PM
what I was saying is that the GTA LE version has alot more and its the same price.
Glen @ Apr 10th 2008 11:58AM
That is awesome.
LJ @ Apr 10th 2008 12:00PM
I like them both... i don't really mind the boxart, the game is whats important. No matter what the box looks all 4 games on my shelves will look awesome!
OLD SNAKES rocks!
One thing i don't like, is the fact that you can only get the LE on gamespot. What about the folks that are not in the US. SUXXXXX!
chowley @ Apr 10th 2008 12:06PM
Sooooo........ They still havent said a word about the online beta or the limited edition for Europe? God we are so lucky over here.
umibozu @ Apr 10th 2008 2:07PM
I reserved the special edition in Gamestop. As an additional perk, I just got (Monday Apr 7) an extra bonus DVD with the history of big boss, solid snake and the rest of the snakes in the game and all 4 trailers.
It also comes with a leaflet inside of the sealed DVD that contains your key to access the online beta. It’s available for download starting april 17th and gameplay will work from april 21st till may 5th.
Riley Freeman @ Apr 10th 2008 12:04PM
both boxart are good. i like this one for the different look fresh hip young and like someone else said"going out in style." i like the regular one cuz hes a tired veteran the art looks like hes worn down and he doesnt have much left in the tank but hes going to give it his all.
Popfrogs @ Apr 11th 2008 11:25AM
Not to spoil anything but at the end of the DVD they give you when you preorder, they show Old Snake with a pistol in his mouth and a scarred up/burned face. They don't show anything before or after that.
ryan @ Apr 10th 2008 12:33PM
anyone think they gimped the standard w/ realistic cover so fans would flock more to the Limited cover w/Shinkawa art?
anthonyjh @ Apr 10th 2008 1:14PM
Yeah, the GTA4 LE is cool, but it's all swag. All of the MGS4 extras actually pertain to the game and will see some use.
Phizzy @ Apr 10th 2008 1:16PM
And you get all the for the same price as the EU Standard Edition.
willxcore @ Apr 10th 2008 1:30PM
Thank god. I already have my LE preordered from Gamestop but now I'm extra happy that it has a really sick cover art to go along with all the other extras. That regular cover is ridiculously bad.
Kieran @ Apr 10th 2008 2:01PM
If the UK/EU doesn't get something like this, I'll be pissed. I want MGO beta, damnit.
Zombie Huggles @ Apr 10th 2008 2:07PM
I like sound track CDs, but I hate Gamestop, looks like I'm going to have to pass this up.
BlackFreefall @ Apr 10th 2008 2:23PM
Did anyone receive the code for MGS Online beta with thier pre-order?
-Jad- @ Apr 10th 2008 3:31PM
Yeah, I got 2 Bonus DVD Vol 2 of Metal Gear Saga ^__^.
Valr @ Apr 10th 2008 3:27PM
Once you preorder it at Gamestop, ask about the Metal Gear Saga DVD. The beta key is inside the DVD.
Popfrogs @ Apr 11th 2008 11:27AM
Yeah, my code is DRIN-KMOR-EOVA-LTINE.
N_Jaud @ Apr 10th 2008 6:49PM
I thought I'd be able to resist the limited edition. Wrong. Just changed my pre-order. Seeing that new cover art pushed me right over the top.
I got the pre-order, MGO beta disc last week. Gamestop called and said it was in, just as they do for a regular pre-order. I think you can get one now if you just go in and order, though.
Kabapu @ Apr 11th 2008 10:02AM
... I'm really tempted to pre-order the LE now ... I wasn't at first ... but yeah ... after seeing the two .. the LE box is just much more classy.
JoJo @ Apr 11th 2008 9:45AM
I never liked MGS art box but the one with Snakes tired eyes.
I'm sorry....
I don't like this one either. But HEY I"M STILL GETTING MGS4!!
CAN"T FREAKENN WAIT!!!!!!
Mickey Mouse @ Jun 2nd 2008 11:52AM
I honestly would feel confortable spending $100 to get the LE I friggin love MGS ever since i was a wee lass:) I only hope i can get an art book, i may just have to camp outside to get it:)
