Sony Computer Entertainment Japan announced today that Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots will enter into the company’s “PLAYSTATION 3 the Best” budget line on June 18.

As a result, the universally-acclaimed masterpiece will receive a permanent price reduction, down to 3,990 yen ($41). Sure doesn’t scream budget, but you have to take into account that the value of the yen has been appreciating as of late.

MGS 4 has already been discounted over in Europe, so that only leaves North America left standing in regards to paying the full retail price of $60. Here’s hoping SCEA decides to invite more of its best-selling titles into the Greatest Hits fold later this year.
