Metal Gear Rising Gets Demo and a Limited Edition System – In Japan

With Metal Gear Rising Revengeance just a couple of months away from release, fans are definitely anticipating the latest adventure from Konami.  And now, thanks to a pair of announcements that took place in Japan, it’s only getting more feverish.  Thanks, guys.  😛

First off, a demo is coming to the Japanese PlayStation Store on December 13th.  This is the same demo that was packaged with the previously released Zone of the Enders HD Collection, so those who already own it aren’t really missing anything.  A U.S. release is likely, yet nothing is official yet.

As for the second announcement, it revolves around a specially designed PlayStation 3 system with a cool blue and black motif and a lightning-infused controller.  This package will include the 250 GB system, as well as a copy of the game and some exclusive downloadable goodies.  It’ll go for 31,960 yen, or $390 US, maybe more if you import.  No word yet on a US release…but it’d be nice.

We also have a new trailer featuring Raiden in plenty of slicing and dicing action.  You can watch it to your heart’s content.
