Japanese gamers are to get an amazing new Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes GameCube package deal!

Metal Gear Solid fanatics should sit up and take note: this is one hell of a deal. Konami of Japan are planning to release a "Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes Premium Package" when the game is released in Japan.

For the measly sum of 21,000 yen (that's around �110 in valuable money) gamers will receive the following:

*Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes

*Bonus Disk with EXCLUSIVE video footage AND the original Metal Gear NES game!

*Forty page booklet of artwork

*A Metal Gear Solid Themed GameCube

Sounds pretty good to me! This is certainly a package to take note of as many have been belittling the appeal of a Metal Gear Solid game on the GameCube, but by making this a collectors item it can only increase the number of sales. We'd like to point out that this hasn't been confirmed for the UK. However, a Konami spokesman didn't have this to say:

"Cram my shirt full of snakes and call me "Sneaky!"

Good news indeed.
