In celebration of the upcoming Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, Sony has released a bunch of Phantom Pain-branded electronics, including a new version of its high-fidelity Walkman, the super-expensive ZX2. The customized music player is listed for ¥140,000 on Sony's site (that's around $1,126 — the same as a normal ZX2), and has the game's title stamped on the front. It also comes with a leather case branded with the logo of the game's Outer Heaven mercenary group, as well as four preinstalled Phantom Pain wallpapers, a handful of HD Metal Gear songs, and original packaging.

If luxury MP3 players aren’t your thing though, Sony is also offering similarly branded Xperia Z4 and Z3 Compact tablets, as well as a special edition J1 Compact smartphone and a less-pricey NW-A16 Walkman. All of these come with similar perks to the ZX2, including Outer Heaven branding (either on the rear of the device in the case of the NW-A16 and J1 Compact, or on limited edition cases for the tablets), preloaded wallpapers, and a handful of HD tracks.
