As far as I'm aware the headset version hasn't been confirmed for an American release, yet.

Gamestop online is taking orders for the LE March release, including SAGA while supplies last. Think I'll be pre-ordering mine today.

Ooh... very nice! No sign of the headset, though?

I haven't seen that big boxed set anywhere. Guess I'll have to settle for some cute Radioshack number.

It looks different to the Japanese release, too. Maybe they're still planning an American release? I've been doubting it recently, but there's still a little hope for it.

The packages on the English Subsistence site are just what the Japanese packages looked like before they were redesigned. They were shown on the Japanese Subsistence, site, before it was updated.

You can see them here:

The English site hasn't even been updated once since it was opened during TGS.

And somebody on GameFAQs said they called Konami, and they said the headset was Japanese-exclusive.

It seems the Headset pack was over-advertised. From what I heard it was even hard to get in Japan (my friend in Osaka tired to pick me up a copy on release and couldn't find a copy in any of the 5 shops he checked).

yes, the headset set was delayed about a month as far as I know... It is a nice pack, but I expected something a bit more special... It is what happens when thhese guys get us used to premium packs =P

Well, it's only the "Special Edition" version of the game (like Substance and Integral before it), so you can't expect anything too big. MGS4 will likely have an impressive Premium Pack, but that's probably looking too far ahead.

Does the japanese headset bundle have that pretty box that comes with the regular limited edition box?
Any pics of all the content of the box like the other premium packages?
Thanks.
