Word from Destination PlayStation, a retailers-only conference for all things PlayStation related, is that Metal Gear Solid 4 is coming to the PlayStation 3 on June 12, 2008. According to sources there now, the release of Kojima Productions action-stealth game will arrive on a Thursday, oddly enough. Even more interesting is that we're hearing word that Sony will be offering a hardware bundle that features MGS4, an 80GB PlayStation 3 and a DualShock 3 packed-in.

Metal Gear Solid has always been a love it or hate it proposition.

MGS4 supplants multi-platform title Lego Indiana Jones - last week's number one title - despite being released only on PlayStation 3. It has become the second fastest-selling PS3 game in the UK behind GTA IV and ahead of Gran Turismo 5: Prologue.

Those who preorder MGS4 will have guaranteed access to the online BETA test for Metal Gear Online, whose Starter Pack will launch alongside the single player version of the game this coming June. The BETA test is due to begin in late April. Most likely it is to create hype much like the Halo 3 Beta more than actual play testing but its still nice to have anyway.
