Next week's a big week for the PlayStation 3 as Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots will finally be out. To celebrate, Konami is having various events around the country where you can meet and get an autograph from a variety of people involved with the game along with series creator, Hideo Kojima. You'll of course have the opportunity to pick up the game at these events and the bundled edition going for $500. I'll be in line to pick this one up when it comes out and I'm anxious to see how the legacy of Solid Snake come to and end in this game.
