I missed out earlier by an hour or two, so I asked the guy if he was selling anymore.

He said later tonight but no specific time...

I've literally sat refreshing his store for 3/4 hours, but boy it paid off. Can't believe how lucky I was after all 8 copies went in 1:40 :laugh:

I'll post some better quality snaps of the game for you guys once I get it than those on the net. Don't worry, I won't spoil anything.

Wonder if he will get anymore? Are they American copies?
THESE ARE MY LAST 8 COPIES (I'M KEEP ONE FOR MYSELF NOW, SORRY), NO MORE AFTER THIS SO PLEASE DO NOT SEND ANY MESSAGES ASKING IF I HAVE ANY MORE ONCE THESE ARE ALL SOLD. I HAVE SPENT ALL DAY RESPONDING TO MESSAGES ASKING FOR MORE MGS4 GAMES. ITS MY OWN FAULT FOR SELLING THEM SO EARLY SO PLEASE HAVE MERCY ON ME!!

He's sold 16 in total, and no more now :(

I think they might be the Australian copies, but they may be UK PAL. The guy who got a copy in the thread earlier bought from another ebay seller and got an Australian copy, but I don't think anyone knows what this guy is selling.

I'm not bothered either way, region free FTW!

Guy from earlier, AUS copy.

The image my ebay seller uses is the AUS image, so it may be an AUS copy, or else it's just coincidence when he no doubt google image searched for a MGS4 box :p

I quickly paid for it all as fast as I ever have on ebay :laugh: He offers 1st class recorded and special delivery, but I just paid for 1st class recorded. Should be good enough to get the game friday, if he ships early tomorrow. If not I'll have it on sat!

I couldnt hate you any more than i do right now.

Ah well at least one copy is on it's way to NW and I can actually confirm some things others are seemingly not doing :/

Like 720p/1080p support for sure (guy says his TV runs at 1080p, but it's a 32" TV :/).

And some other q's for you guys.

However as I said, I won't be spoiling anything at all - I think NW would be happy to warn/ban me for spewing out lots of information on a title prior to release. Remember the GTA4 fiasco? Fair enough it leaked and could be pirated, but it's still disrespectful to run around spoiling a game (N)

Maybe by PM if you guys are really that into ruining it early :p

I'll post some screens of harmless stuff though, just to show it off. Got a nice 42" TV to take snaps of it on.

I just would like to know about the install times, and if it installs between chapters/acts. I know the game will look amazing, and I know the cut scenes will be huge.

Fair question, I can answer that.

I do suspect some things might be answered over the next day or two though before I play. The copies the guy sold earlier should be in peoples hands tomorrow, and our first player on the playstation forums might answer some more q's.

I'm just glad he's a reputable seller (Y) You always have your doubts when you see things early on ebay :laugh:

What annoys me is that the copies are obviously sat in the back room of all the game shops all over the world, and probably have been for a week, why make everyone wait stupid amounts of time before releasing it, goddamit.

THIS IS A GENUINE UK PAL FORMAT GAME

Looks like they've been leaked from somewhere in the UK then?

I'll tell you guys if its AUS or UK once I get it anyway. Here's hoping if it's AUS, there's no censorship issues ;)

    • Starlink Mobile Is Coming for AT&T and Verizon: SpaceX Has Spectrum, Still Needs Towers

      SpaceX took its largest step yet toward becoming a retail wireless carrier on Friday when President and COO Gwynne Shotwell told investors at the company's IPO roadshow that SpaceX is considering launching a Starlink-branded mobile phone service for US consumers.............. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/319177/20260627/starlink-mobile-coming-t-verizon-spacex-has-spectrum-still-needs-towers.htm  
    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      Stop asking people that. It's a "No True Scotsman" argument in that you are attempting to discredit the opinions of a person by Attacking the Messenger. The reason that these are logical fallacies is the TRUTH is based on facts as supported by evidence. Nothing else. So, always debate the facts with evidence to reach the truth. Once you learn to do this, you'll be able to recognize when people are fearmongering and lying to you for their own selfish ends.

      It doesn't matter if you didn't directly hear it from person X or Y. Every one of your statements comes straight from the racist, skinhead, anti-immigrant, be afraid of everything, "they are all taking our jobs", etc. etc. mouthpieces. That's where Farag and Putin heard it from too...and used it against the UK. So, while you keep disavowing the people who publicly peddled that position, you keep proving over and over again that those lies influenced you into being tricked when the Brexit vote came around too. In fact, your final sentence makes it crystal clear that it was the racist/anti-immigrant lies you fell and voted for, since you stated that you didn't have an issue with the economic trade issues with the EU. Ahem. To be clear, all of these LIES are EONS old, mate. They are the same fearmongering lies peddled to the same ignorant, gullible cowards by the same charlatans, snake-oil salesmen, and would be demagogues who've been doing this since caveman Ugh lied about his slightly different neighbor in order to steal his land. And, finally, you answered your own previous question. The reason that the EU isn't clamoring to bring the UK back is that they have had enough of people who would rather shoot themselves in the foot than get over their "insecurity issues". It's the same reason the entire world is moving away from the USA as fast as it can...
