Konami Digital Entertainment GmbH has announced two innovative initiatives for the forthcoming launch of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots for PLAYSTATION®3 on June 12th.

In advance of the game's release, Konami has unveiled a pre-order campaign, which will be allied with key retail partners throughout Europe. Consumers who pre-order a copy of Metal Gear Solid 4 can receive an exclusive DVD entitled Metal Gear Saga Vol. 2. This seven-part documentary details the origins of previous Metal Gear games and the evolution of Hideo Kojima's epic series. This gripping documentary offers a valuable insight into the series and the history of Metal Gear's iconic hero, Snake.

Scheduled for release on June 12, Konami will also produce a Limited Edition collector's package. Destined to be a highly sought-after compilation, the package includes a soundtrack CD, a 6? Old Snake action figurine, and an exclusive 'Making Of' Blu-ray disc. The Blu-ray disc contains two high-definition documentaries which offer a candid, behind-the-scenes look at the development of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, with interviews with series creator Hideo Kojima and key Kojima Productions personnel. The Limited Edition will carry a £79.99 RRP.
