Special Metal Gear Solid V PS4’s Western Release Depends on Sony; No Plans for Xbox One; Info on CE Pre-Orders
Many have asked for the special edition Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain PS4 created in collaboration with Sony Computer Entertainment to be released in the west. Producer Ken-Ichiro Imaizumi advised to address said requests to Sony itself, as they are the ones selling the console, and responsible for the decision.
Thanx for your request. Please ask ur local SCE. We don’t sell them, it’s up to SCE. @SURUdenise @Konami @konamieu @KonamiUK @MGO_Official

Imaizumi-san was also asked whether there’s a chance to get a similar special edition Xbox One, but his reply was negative.
@MGO_Xbox Sorry, no plan. Only PS4. — Ken-ichiro Imaizumi (@Ken1555) March 8, 2015
For those waiting to pre-order the Collector’s Edition in the US, Imaizumi mentioned that it should be made available next week, even if the folks at Kojima Productions are waiting for information from retailers themselves.
@mountain_Duwe It depends on retailers. We are waiting too. It was very last minute. Should be available next week for you if you are in US.

Hideo Kojima himself also shared another look at the game and at the half-scale bionic arm included in the Collector’s edition, and you can see it below.

During Breaks.
One thing is for sure. I haven’t seen this kind of demand for another special edition PS4 before, but it shouldn’t be too surprising, considering just how sweet it looks.
