MGS4 Bundle Coming to Europe? And Before Easter?

4:20AM October 12, 2007 | Mark Wilson

According to an interview with MeriStation.com, Europe Sony VP James Armstrong made a major announcement over a possible Sony/Konami bundle that just might have something to do with the most anticipated PS3 game in the short history of the platform.

We want that it is in the street before Easter and that is our fight at the moment.

An MGS4 bundle sounds like an absolutely wonderful and completely obvious way to sell some PS3s. But isn’t it an odd circumstance when we’ve heard so many differing viewpoints from so many differing Sony execs for so long that we don’t believe it until the information is on press release?
