Has there ever been a better product tie-in? Sony will be releasing a specially styled camouflage Walkman, just in time for Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker. it's the W250 Series 2 GB model and as you can see it's pretty slick looking, with a few stylistic similarities to the MGS4 Bluetooth earpiece. It also comes preloaded with the Peace Walker soundtrack, which for now is the only way to get the OST in the States. It also comes with a coupon code to download extra character designs and Walkman apparel in Peace Walker. Heh, I guess that would make it a Peace Walkman.
