IN THE BOX
Carrying Pouch
The carrying pouch is actually what I liked the most as it goes well with the color of the special edition PSP released in the MGS Peace Walker bundle. The pouch also includes an additional compartment to store UMD games so you can carry some extra games in it. I just got it so I can't really tell you about durability but it looks very well made (I added some reference pictures)
Face Cover
My major complaint and the reason why I took 2 stars off the kit is the face cover. Yes, it looks pretty cool, the olive color with the Militaires Sans Frontieres insignia goes very well with the limited edition PSP. The face cover is attached to a plastic cover for the screen so it is protected from scratch and dust while it is on. The big problem with it is that it is designed so it snaps in place easily without being too tight to damage the PSP... or stay in place. It is very easy to place, which makes it very easy to be removed as well. Once closed, if you wish to open the face cover you need to hold the bottom part of it so it does not go off completely, if you don't hold it, you will end up getting off the whole thing when what you actually wanted was to open the face cover only. This in my opinion, is not user friendly at all.
Cleaner Strap
Shaped as a dog tag, it is a nice add-on so you can clean the PSP screen with a cool looking design in the same color as the face cover. You can place it in the specially designed opening for the strap on the bottom part of the PSP.
Decorative stickers (PSP-2000 & PSP-3000)
The stickers included are those of the insignias used in the game and can be placed in the PSP. I don't like to use any kind of stickers on my consoles so I don't think I use them. The designs are really good for those who'd like to use them.
Exclusive in-game character code
I have yet to use it but I understand the code unblocks a character outfit and a cadet character for Snake's mother base.
As many other reviewers have stated this officially licensed kit looks pretty cool. For me, the real value comes in the shape of the carrying pouch as the face cover with the flaws I mentioned is useless to me. I am a big fan of the Metal Gear series and that is the reason I decided to pay full price for this even when there are similar products without the MGS insignias for a better price. I included some reference pictures of my notes above. If you are a fan, you will not be disappointed, if you are looking for a practical face cover for your PSP, this may not be what you need.
