Now that the Dual Shock 3 is finally here, it looks like Sony's finding creative way to dump off old SIXAXIS stock -- like tossing 'em in MGS4 PS3 bundles. Japanese PS3 buyers will be able to choose from three "Welcome Box" MGS4 bundles in Satin Silver, Ceramic White, and Clear Black, and in addition to Snake's latest adventure and a Dual Shock 3, they'll find a SIXAXIS inside. The bundles will cost ¥49,800 ($470), compared to ¥51,800 ($492) for the gunmetal gray bundle that doesn't include the extra controller, so basically Sony's giving Japanese buyers $20 to take a SIXAXIS home. That's quite a deal, but honestly, wee'd rather take drop the Jackson on that super-hot gunmetal unit home than have another (obsolete) controller lying around.

Maybe its required for some things in the game...Like when you had to disconnect the controller from the other game.

hideo kojima does think outside the box

Super hot gunmetal grey? Pfffft NOT! First off, it's not exactly gunmetal and secondly, I prefer WHITE. The white ps3 is gorrrrrgeous.
