The Slipcase Edition of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots is exactly the same as the normal version of the game but it comes with a Black cardboard slipcase with a close up image of Snakes face

 

History:
The Black version was a Europe wide release, however in terms of sealing the UK BBFC version did not come factory sealed.  Certain Euro countries such as Spain came cellophane sealed with a clear tear strip. But no copy exist with a “Playstation 3″ tear strip but the Clear Strip version is still a factory seal.

 

Pre-order bonus:
If you pre-ordered the Black Slipcase Edition you receive an exclusive DVD called Metal Gear Saga Vol. 2, this was only from certain retailers but was Europe wide.

    All i can say is Damn that console looks pretty cool.
    I can’t wait to get mine, it’s going to top my collection.
    Check out Games-asia.com,
    http://www.games-asia.com/playstatio...on-p-3138.html

    Does any one know if the how many units they will make?
    that it’s a limited edition.

  2. Twistedsymphony:
    For the really popular games 500 thousand (half a million) is usually the cut off point. They almost always make enough to cover pre-orders and then some so as long as you’re pre-ordering I wouldn’t worry about not getting one.

    Be sure to send me some pictures when you get yours so I can put them up here for the world to enjoy

  3. Gemini-Phoenix:
    It may also be worth noting that there are regional variations, with the UK release featuring the BBFC certification opposed to the PEGI logo

    **Added Black and White Slipcase edition**

    May have gone overboard with the details

  5. Twistedsymphony:
    I would say that the black and white should be separate entries in the database

    they sound like two completely separate editions

    I would list them as (Black Slipcase) and (White Slipcase)

  6. gurpswoo1:
    No problem,

    EDIT: changed to Black and White entries, thanks for tip earlier.

  7. Mike1888:
    Gurps maybe you should also include this. A Black Sleeve signed - ONLY 15 were available for signing at Zavvi! Beautiful. I want it!!!

    Only 5 were signed by all 3.




    The other 10 were signed by just Shinkawa and Kojima

    Nice will add to description after a quick check.

    Thanks
