What It Is: The latest bundle from Sony’s high-powered PlayStation video game system, featuring Konami’s incredible just-released Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots.
Who It’s For: Gamers who have been on the fence about the Sony console, as the PS3 exclusive MGS4 represents the first truly definitive reason to own one.
Why It’s Worthy: The PS3 is a great system, with a built-in Blu-Ray player and a rechargeable wireless controller. But the real draw is the fourth and final installment in the Metal Gear Solid series, which is the deepest, lushest, most cinematic and badass game of this era. Take that, Grand Theft Auto IV!
Our Only Complaint: We’re still waiting for the PS3 to get a slim-down like the PS2 did — we’re always concerned the system is going to come alive and kill us in our sleep. But that’s a minor quibble.
Cost/Where to Get It: $499.99; PlayStation.com (Available now)
