It does happen on Neowin, you're right, it happened with Halo 3 and even Halo 2 I think.

But anyway Gigapixels has cleared it up now.

And you asked earlier if Royal Mail deliver Saturdays and yes they do :)

People ruined Halo 2 and 3 on Neowin? :/

Did they leak early as well from retailers?

Sorry, im just completely anal about things like that. If I were more invested in the Halo series, I'd of gone all Wild West on their ass!

Good good :)

Well if we're talking about users signing up solely to post spoilers, I would consider that an offense and would of course take the necessary actions. I thought we were speaking of members who have been here for a while.

Ah right good to know :)

I have no worries about members who have been here for a while for two reasons

a) I'd say every regular in the GH is respectful enough not to waste a game purposely

and

b) Even if someone did post a spoiler, 99% of us know how to use spoiler tags and warn before hand

I really was talking about the influx of new posters on some other gaming sites I visit, that I've seen waste the game out of complete malice. I've caught one or two average spoilers myself, and I'm on total shut down from nearly every MGS4 topic now apart from this one :laugh:

LOL

by the way, someone on NW has to make this!

Yeah copies were sold in USA early and of course they were on torrent sites not long after. Replies were removed from the forum iirc and it was by people who only signed up to post spoilers. Thank god I wasn't around to read them though :laugh:

Where is the seller from on eBay you bought from AB?

I think I'm getting the AUS copy, but I'm not sure :/

Box and case show the AUS MA15 rating, but the disc itself is the UK 15 rating as shown here (weird isn't it?),

That's the guy who got it early off ebay first - He used a different seller, so we'll see what the copy I get turns up like.

I'm not bothered but there is a comment going around that MGO may be region locked. Hopefully it's locked as in, Europe & America/Japan (English regions locked together) - Or at least all of Europe locked together.

Hope I'm not stuck playing against the Aussies if it is an Australian copy I get :laugh:

80GB Metal Gear systems on amazon.com tomorrow at 10AM PST

If you've been waiting for the standard 80GB Metal Gear Solid 4 bundle, which includes a 80GB PS3, a regular copy of Metal Gear Solid 4, and a DualShock 3 controller, you're going to have to fight the thousands of others that are undoubtedly also waiting to buy the system. You can try your luck in stores on June 12th, when the system (and game) releases ... or you can test your luck with amazon.com tomorrow (Friday).

According to the online retailer, "demand for this item is so great, we anticipate selling out very quickly." Thankfully, you'll have a slight edge over others who may be browsing the site. The bundle will be available at 10AM PST (1PM EST) tomorrow. Get your F5 buttons ready -- and g'luck to all of you.

Update: Please note that the system will be $499 when it is available tomorrow. Any prices you see right now are third-party resellers that are free to charge whatever they want to -- and they want to charge a lot.

If people are sad enough to register here only to spoil an ending of a video game, then they really do fail at life.

I'm sorry, I just think it's absurd to suggest that would ever happen here. Yes you may have witnessed something similar at NeoGAF, but I'd say the members here are generally a LOT more mature than those on other gaming related forums.

And if anyone wanted to ruin the MGS 4 experience for a vast amount of people, Neowin would not be their first stop.

Digi cam is charging so no high quality snaps for an hour or so - Batteries were used on holiday.

It is a strange one, back of box,

"Licensed for sale only in Australia and New Zealand"

Game disc

"15, BBFC" (UK rating).

Ah well, who cares :p

Congratulations :p Have you played it yet??

DSC00102.jpg

Nope installing :D

Game runs in 1080p by choice when booting it up.

Install says it will take 8 minutes

DSC00105.jpg

It's a 3D snake that moves, and messages come up. Some of them quite funny!

One I did notice,

"This game is made exclusively for use on the PlayStation3" :p

Sad thing is, I need to shoot out for about 30-45 mins, I'll install check out the main screen and then I'll be out and back. Not going to start playing right this second as I suspect the intro might be a 10-15-20 min cutscene!

When I'm back though I can take high quality snaps, hang in there ;)

Yet again the 3rd party accessories are a let down. They always tend to be.

Well then maybe Sony should have designed and sold a headset along with the console in the first place?

Not to mention it's officially licensed for the PS3, so 3rd party excuse doesn't cut it this time.

It's 3rd party so the excuse does stick.

Sony have their branded headset coming out with SOCOM. It should have been packaged with the unit, but it wasn't. We all moved on from that.

The main menu screen is intense :|

Easter egg: If you let the main menu screen "run" till it's finished (it's kind of like a menu over a cutscene), it will go black, you'll see the Konami logo and then one of those PMC adverts will play! (check gametrailers). Then it goes back to the main menu again.

^ Check Keito's sig for Ravensword - That's the PMC adverts I'm talking about.

Rinse repeat.

Anyway I'll be back in just under an hour and should have some high quality snaps then!

    • Why Delta Chat is the best decentralized messenger you have probably never tried

      By Nas · Posted

      Interesting share -- however it does not make sense: Email messages get stored somewhere, so how is Delta Chat "based on email" and decentralized without actually storing anything? By Web3 standard practices, the various Relays would require dedicated storage to make messages available to the recipients (like a large series of message queue channels, akin to racks of traditional post office boxes)... and Contacts must be two-way confirmed in order for encryption keys to be exchanged (ostensibly every key-pair is uniquely bound between sender and recipient) and the Relays would preserve the public keys in order to facilitate message carriage... or every device stores all sorts of keys and contact info. All of this to say, decentralized messaging is like running Bluesky nodes except instead of discovering/browsing public feeds by various posters (at the given node) these Delta Chats would be relaying encrypted messages (via Relays) that only trusted recipients would have the appropriate decryption key (their own private key) to read it. But this doesn't solve the "it's like email" sales pitch. The only way it's like email is that there's encrypted binary stuff being transported from your app into the federated ether of Delta Chat Relays for others to decrypt (hopefully only the intended recipient)... but outside of this federated relays framework, it is absolutely nothing like email.

Incremental/Differential/Full Backup Different backup modes are supported, you can flexibly choose data protection schemes, which can improve backup performance and save storage space while ensuring data security. Delta Restore Delta restore uses advanced delta detection technology to check the changed blocks on the destination drive and restore only the changed blocks, so it has a faster restore speed than the traditional full restore. Universal Restore This feature can help us restore the Windows operating system to computers with different hardware and ensure that Windows can work normally without any hardware compatibility issues.
