Metal Gear Solid 4 Includes Metal Gear Solid Online

From a new interview at the Consumer Electronics Show 2008 at the booth where Metal Gear Solid 4 can be played by a lucky few, it has been confirmed that Metal Gear Online will be included with Metal Gear Solid 4. The catch is that it is a starter pack.

They haven’t yet said anything about how many maps there will be in the included starter pack, but “there will be an element of the online component within Metal Gear 4, to capture that online experience.”

Does this mean that Metal Gear Online will also be able to be purchased seperately, and Metal Gear Solid 4 owners get but a taste of it? I guess we will find out as the time passes.
