The sexy Gunmetal Grey PS3 edition is already available for pre-order in Japan as a part of the Metal Gear Solid 4 Limited Edition bundle. Now, the PlayStation Blog has announced that North America will also be getting in on this sweet deal, and it even comes with a matching controller in the same colour!

Sorry, no box reveal this time (we have to keep some surprises :-) )! We are confirming that there will be a North America offering of this VERY, VERY Limited Edition bundle! This is the “gunmetal grey” PS3 – the one seen selling out in a matter of moments in Japan at the KonamiStyle web store. Stay tuned for more details on this exciting product!

The blog also revealed a bunch of other goodies, such as the MGS4 80GB hardware bundle.

Fourth, the “Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots” PLAYSTATION 3 Hardware Bundle…

Again, hot off the presses, a never before seen box! Of note, for the first time ever, the PS3 will be packaged in a white box as opposed to the typical black one, and of course, is also branded with MGS4 goodness! Inside you will find the 80GB PLAYSTATION 3 package (yes, the 80GB PS3 has been resurrected for this bundle), and will include a PS3 DualShock 3 controller – yes, the PS3 controller that rumbles, and the MGS4 SE (detailed above).

Along with the GTA IV PS3 bundle, this should help Sony push quite a few consoles this year.
