Play.com removing Gunmetal PS3 MGS4 bundle from site

Reinforces word from Konami that bundle won't be released in the UK.

The Limited Edition Gunmetal Grey PS3 MGS 4 bundle is being removed from Play.com's site, VideoGamer.com has learned.

Yesterday UK gamers were given hope that the bundle, which has been confirmed for release in North America, would be coming out over here when it was spotted on online retailer Play.com's website.

However a spokesperson for Play.com told VideoGamer.com this morning that the bundle was being removed from the site.

The spokesperson said: "The Gun Metal PlayStation 3 is being removed from pre-order."

The news reinforces word we received from MGS4 publisher Konami, who confirmed to VideoGamer.com yesterday that there will be no Limited Edition PlayStation 3 Metal Gear Solid 4 console bundle available to UK gamers. North American fans are being offered an extremely limited set which includes a gunmetal grey 40GB PS3, a matching DualShock 3 controller and a copy of MGS4.
