According to Siliconera, Sony will also be offering MGS5 branded tablets and smartphones

The limited edition Walkman ZX series NW-ZX2 features the Outer Heaven logo on the back, has 128 GB of storage, comes with a booklet, a leather case featuring the Outer Heaven, ten tracks from the game, the “!” sound effect, and four wallpapers. It will cost ¥140,000 ($1,128).

From what we gathered, it's a standard price for the model - depending on the marketplace. Still, that's a lot of money for an MP3 player if you're just a normal Joe.

There's also the more reasonably priced Walkman A series NW-A16 version, which has 32GB of storage and two songs from the soundtrack for ¥28,000 ($229).

Two Metal Gear Solid 5 tablets are also on offer along with a J1 Compact phone.

Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain will release simultaneously on PC, PlayStation 3, PS4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One September 1 and pre-orders on Steam net Ground Zeroes for free.

Metal Gear Online will release October 6 on consoles, and on PC to January 2016.
