MGS4 soundtrack released - new details

Famitsu magazine has finally released details on the upcoming special editions soundtrack CD for the latest Metal Gear title, and we have to say, it looks absolutely spiffing. The Japanese release of the soundtrack was released this morning, and provides a taster of whats to come in the European and American special editions on June 12th.

Launching in Japan as a standalone package today, the soundtrack comes on a single CD and contains 47 tracks.

Nobuka Toda and Harry Gregson-Williams provide the sounds as ever, and appropriately have orchestrated an atmospheric dream for any videogame music enthusiast.

This is, presumably, the same disc that you'll be getting if you pre-ordered the £79.99 special edition of Metal Gear Solid 4 from Play.com. You'll also get a six-inch figurine and a "Making Of" Blu-Ray disc. This has subsequently sold out however, as reported earlier, and so finding a copy of this gem may be harder than we intially thought.

If you just fancy picking up the soundtrack on its own, however, the Japanese standalone soundtrack costs 3045 Yen, which is about fifteen quid (or 19 Euro) in real money.
