Okay folks, I promised you all another announcement and here it is. This is really cool. As far as I know, this is the only one that will be on sale in the USA. Sam's Club presents

SNAKE STATUE!

Here is an opportunity for someone to own a Snake Statue. You know Snake from the Metal Gear Solid series.  Snake was last seen sneaking around a non-descript warehouse (the date on the picture is not accurate, but we can verify that he was there). You can see he was on the pedestal for a while. His octo-camo suit has already changed!! That is how realistic the statue looks, you would swear it really is Snake.

Sam's Club was able to work with the good folks at Konami and Phillips Sales Inc to bring something very special to market for our Members. You can click here for a preview. Once the auction goes live next week, you can go to the auctions page and search for "metal gear solid" to find this unique item. Once the bidding starts, we will be watching it closely. One Member will win this auction and own a portion of gaming history.

This is yet another reason why a Membership at Sam's Club is so very special. If you have not played the latest in the series, be sure to check it out. The game is massive. It is the first BD50 game ever made. The content is so great, it would not fit on a single DVD or even a standard Blu-Ray disc. This game is exclusive to the Sony Play Station 3 system. It is already available at a Sam's Club near you. Have a great weekend. What do you think of this item?

Rex, I do not know. There is no speakerbox on this one. It was a challange this weekend to keep up with the comments on Kotaku. Now that D-toid added it, I expect to be busy there as well. Both sites have some great content. Glad to see you on our site as well.
