The limited edition hue of console can be pre-ordered stateside via the publisher's website, and only a select few will be released on this occasion - for US residents only.

No grey PS3, then, although a deal with Play.com will see a special edition pack distributed across the continent, offering a copy of the game with a soundrack CD, 'making of' DVD, alongside a special figurine. Needless to say this isn't quite as 'special' as the unique console itself.

Alternatively, Sony are set to offer a console bundle, but this will only include a standard copy of the game and a boring old black console.

MGS4 is out on June 12th.
