I’d Give My Life, Not For Honor, But For This Metal Gear Solid 3DS

Remember how horrifically excited I was about the special Metal Gear Solid 3DS: Snake Eater console? Well I’ve stopped crying to bring you the bad news – looks like they’re going to be near impossible to get.

The special snake skin covered 3DS (which is possibly the sexiest console I have ever set my eyes on) is being released to mark the launch of Metal Gear Solid 3DS, but Konami are making people work for it.

First of all, they’re only selling it via the online Konami store, and they’re only selling it via raffle. Yep – to purchase this fine piece of gaming equipment you need to first win a raffle for the privilege. Entering the raffle requires you to register a Konami ID, and that doesn’t even guarantee you’ll get to buy the 3DS. Boo.

So if, by some chance, you win the raffle and are able to purchase one? It’ll cost you ¥22,980 (US$299.) So you enter a contest and spend a week biting your nails over it and you still have to pay for it.

That’s just cruel, Konami.
