Send to email		Visit Less Than A Month And a Half, MGS4 In Bargain Bins? [Only In Japan] Less Than A Month And a Half, MGS4 In Bargain Bins? [Only In Japan] in Only in Japan Konami Metal Gear Solid 4 Mgs4 PS3 Top
By Brian Ashcraft
el 28-Jul-2008

Metal Gear Solid 4 hasn't even been out a month and a half, but according to Japanese sites, it's hitting the Sofmap "wagon sale" bargain bins where it joins the likes of Virtua Fighter 5 and SEGA's PSP brain trainer. The Konami stealth game was originally released for „8,800 (US$82), making it one of the pricier PS3 titles. (Expensive third party PS3 titles tend to book for around „7,800 or $72.) Here, what seem to be new copies of MGS4 are going for „3,980 ($37). We're not sure if this is an isolated Sofmap store or if other shops in the Sofmap chain are picking up on this price slashing or if this is just a Sofmap summer sale thingy. Amazon Japan has new copies going for slightly above „7,000, while the Special Edition is going for „5,980. Who knows.

What we do know is that the game sold a ton when released, already placing it in the top sellers of 2008. And it got great reviews in Japan. And it is a great game. So don't think of this as a bad thing! Even if Konami is losing money on these remaining copies, Japanese gamers have less of an excuse to pick up the title. Could help the game sell a million copies eventually. So this is all good, really.

Hit the jump for a wider pic.
