To celebrate the launch of Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker for the PSP and PSP Go, Sony has introduced a limited edition W252 Walkman. The Sony W252 Walkman is a wearable MP3 player that is also waterproof. Essentially, it is a limited edition of the Sony WM250 Walkman.
The Sony Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker W252 Walkman features a unique camouflage design and comes pre-installed with six tracks from the Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker soundtrack. This special edition Walkman is not just a treat for the ears but also a collector’s item for fans of the game.
Features and Design
The W252 Walkman is designed for today’s active lifestyles. It is the first wire-free MP3 player from Sony that can resist rain splashes or the sweat from a grueling gym session. After exercising, you can simply rinse it under the tap or even keep listening during a post-workout shower. This makes it an ideal companion for fitness enthusiasts who enjoy listening to music while working out.
The camouflage design is inspired by the military theme of Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, adding an extra layer of immersion for fans of the game. The pre-installed tracks from the game’s soundtrack provide an immediate connection to the game’s atmosphere, making it a must-have for dedicated fans.
Integration with Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker
Set in the 1970s, the storyline of METAL GEAR SOLID: PEACE WALKER provides an extra treat for fans of the legendary personal music player. During gameplay, you can collect iconic WALKMAN® models from the past, including the first-ever cassette-based WALKMAN® that made its debut in 1979. This integration adds a nostalgic element to the game, allowing players to experience the evolution of portable music players within the game’s universe.
The inclusion of the W252 Walkman in the game is a nod to the history of portable music and its impact on popular culture. It also serves as a reminder of how far technology has come, from the bulky cassette players of the past to the sleek, waterproof MP3 players of today.
The Sony Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker W252 Walkman will go on sale in June 2010. While there are no details on pricing yet, the unique features and limited edition status are likely to make it a sought-after item among both gamers and music enthusiasts.
The Sony Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker W252 Walkman is more than just an MP3 player. It is a celebration of the rich history of portable music players and their integration into popular culture through iconic games like Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker.
