Solid Snake equips with an iPod

then why comment?

good question. In fact why even read it? Or anything else on this crappy blog anyway. I never learn anything new and have to wade through gamer rumours and fake nonsense to extract even a tiny piece of useful or interesting info.

And then yesterday we find out that TUAW is owned by AOL? Puhlease. I am so outta here.

Proof? It's on the MGS4/Konami website (you'll have to dig around the flash site for it, as it unlocks details as you do things).

In the game you can find/buy Metal Gear tracks from the various soundtracks and use the ipod (in Snakes inventory) to listen to the tracks.

They have a few product placements in this game, the iPod, a KDDI Sony Ericsson W62s (mobile phone which two characters use), Regain (Japanese energy drink) and Triumph motorcycles as well.

Just wish that the tie in would bring us a Metal Gear Solid edition iPod (similar to that Halo Zune that was released!)

if you had done any research before calling it fake (say check Kotaku or Joystiq), you would've seen that this is indeed real and was demoed by Kojima at the official unveiling of the game.

The 6.8KG is referring to Snake's currently equipped things, as seen in Snake Eater before.
