Oh happy days ... the kojima report has been delayed, it should be up later this evening.

Maybe ryan patton will provide the info.

I spent 10 mins fiddling with the saturation on my monitor before I re read this was MGS.

Hope its good.

They should be, but the JPN beta won't accept connections from outside Japan so you'll need to be on the Euro one.

And lol Needles, as funny and as true as that is, you may want to remove the gif due to the language

But how do i get into the beta? Is it just a case of preordering? Any speciifc sites?

andshrew · 10 Apr 2008 at 20:56

carlazai · 10 Apr 2008 at 20:59

Buy the Metal Gear Solid Saga II from that site where you bid on stuff.

Is there a source on this? I thought I could just use my JPN PSN account and type the beta key in?

It's more speculation based on the fact they've now made it so only the Japanese can sign up through the web site - http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=131199

What is likely is that they will only allow connections from IP addresses which originate inside Japan in order to only allow in the intended audience.

DO WANT

I don't normally buy limited editions but MGS is my favorite series ever and MGS4 looks to be the best yet... hmmm

msmalls74 · 10 Apr 2008 at 22:32

There's a bit more info about MGO and the MGS4 product details on the PSN blog

http://blog.us.playstation.com/2008...s-of-the-patriots-–-product-details-revealed/

Liking the US MGS4 special edition cover, normal one is no where near as nice, I so want the gunmetal PS3 it looks awesome and its not just a painted on finish its made from a different material than normal.

I like the little DS3 pic on the bottom left.

Does anyone know if there is going to be a “special edition” of MGS4 released in the UK? or is it only USA and Japan.
