There’s a small typo on the limited edition Metal Gear Solid PS4

Grrrr sexy even with a typo

Happy Metal Gear Solid V day everybody! Finally, the whole world can dive into Big Boss’s latest adventure and see for themselves why I haven’t been able to shut up about the game for the past week. How hyped am I for The Phantom Pain? Enough that I immediately ordered myself the game’s limited edition PS4. Looks perfect, doesn’t it? Wrong! On that sexy red body lies a typo… a typo so diabolical that it will stick out like a sore thumb for EVERYBODY!

Except, it really won’t. The console has the word “molybdeum” stamped onto it, instead of the correct version which is spelt “molybdenum” (via Gamespot… and every single other person who has alerted me to the fact that this typo exists):

Typo

That’s right, all that’s missing from the word is the letter ‘n’. This is the Internet though, and that missing letter was enough to get everybody talking.

Personally, it doesn’t bother me in the slightest. Besides, maybe my misspelt console will be worth millions one day (when it eventually arrives – it has been delayed by a day… NOOOOOOOOOO).

What the hell is molybdenum anyways? I asked the team to give me their honest answers, without Googling it or anything. They replied with the following:

Alessandro: “it’s…uh….chemical.”
Darryn: “A substance that works on quantum viewing principle and lies through its teeth when observed.”
Gavin: “It’s a spelling error on the Metal Gear Solid V PS4.”
Zoe: “I already looked it up the other day, but before looking it up, i thought it was a fake chemical.”
Geoff: “They’re Peter Molyneux’s favourite style of pants.”

dungarees

I rest my case. Nobody knows what molybdenum is past the fact that is likely some chemical. Honestly, there are worse typos that could’ve occured. If the following had happened, I would’ve been really annoyed:

  • Medal Gear Solid
  • The Phantom Pane
  • Diamond Dawgs
  • Punished “Venom” Snack
  • Large Boss

See? Pointing out “molybdeum” seems so petty now, doesn’t it? Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to eagerly await the delivery van that probably won’t be arriving today. In the meantime, if you feel like pointing the typo out to me, or anybody else who ordered the limited edition MGSV console, please watch the following video:

    Obvious troll being obvious. Uses molybdenum, breaks console, sues Sony for another one. Because on the console it doesn’t say molybdenum

          Maybe it is a First World Country thing. Which brings me to something I wondered in traffic this morning: Where are the Second World countries?

    Fine. I won’t mention that typo.

    “How hyped am for The Phantom Pain?”
    “Honestly, there are worst typos that could’ve happened.”

    What are you going to do now, cabbage? WHATCHA GONNA DO?!

    It could have said Moedersmelk on it and I probably wouldn’t have noticed.
    Or I’d notice, but don’t care.

      Check your local Spar. Could be next to the Long Life milk. A brand of milk called Ma. Yes, might be a periodic table thing, but who the hell would call milk Ma milk?

    As if if anybody knew the correct spelling before the big “scandal” broke.

    What sad bastard runs everything on a product though a spell checker.

      Honestly, I don’t see the big deal about this. So what. There are terrible spelling mistakes and, even more so, grammar mistakes in every day life that most people don’t even have a clue about.

    Hahaha!! I couldn’t help myself Matty… I just had to let you know, I was awake at 03:00 this morning and say it! Also I think it does give the console some extra value.
