80GB PlayStation 3 Bundle To Continue On (For Now)
As the Motorstorm 80GB PlayStation 3 bundle waned on store shelves over the course of the first quarter of 2008, many a late adopter of the PlayStation 3 have wondered if the supposedly "limited" edition Metal Gear Solid 4 80GB PlayStation 3 bundle, which ships on June 12, would become the last "hurrah" for backwards compatibility seekers. Sony, in a tactful statement, issued that, "Retailers aren't getting any new inventory of the 80GB Motorstorm bundle," and superblog Joystiq was quick to gather that the new SKU is not merely a temporary item, but a revitalization of the previous edition.
It would seem that the 80GB model will continue to exist, at least in North American stores. Whether it will continue on in different forms for upcoming major releases like Resistance: Fall of Man 2, or Killzone 2 is unknown, though shoppers can take comfort in knowing that the 80GB Metal Gear Solid 4 bundle will not quickly morph into the 40GB model seen elsewhere in the world.

I was looking for a 80GB bundle last week since I finally got the cash to buy one and couldn't find it anywhere. I was worried it was gone but browsing on the net i found out the MGS4 was going to be bundle with it as the regular 80gig bundle and not a limited edition. Also coming with Dualshock 3 and MGS4, not Motorstorm is a major bonus.
So as soon as i see t in stock somewhere, it will be mine
I have a question =$ This bundle comes with backward compatibility for Ps2 games? If so, is it through emulation or does this one include the EE chip?
