Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots Discussion Thread


Recommended Posts

Mine is still on "Order Placed". :( I'm not giving up hope, though. Play.com seems to have been on the blink for the past month. I ordered GTAIV off them. It kept jumping to different stages. Up to "Processing", then to "Packing", than back to "Processing", then a few days later, I got an email saying it had been shipped. 10 minutes later, it arrived on my doorstep! :D

My Jabra BT125 is doing this as well. It went from "Order Placed" to "Processing" to "Packing" in less than 30 minutes, then an hour later it went back "Processing". It's still there as I'm typing this.

well, I'm gonna give it till the end of the day and if its not dispatched I'm gonna cancel and change to gameplay or amazon.

edit: sod it, changed to gameplay.co.uk, fair enough 1st class postage is 99p extra but they seem more reliable for release date delivery. Play.com has let me down and it arrived a day late a few times.

Oh Audio, why didn't you answer my question, are you avoiding me on purpose, have you ignored me! I can't live like this /Cut wrist.

( Sorry :shiftyninja: )

Truth is I would rather not answer it, not because there is, or there isn't. I'm not saying either way. Not many days left!!

I got me a silver DS3 off of Ebay the other day just for MGs4 and to always have a charged backup controller for longer sessions. :p

I have ordered a DualShock 3 controller aswell just for MGS4... Ceramic White is looking so awesome :p :laugh:

Woo, 3 days!

Can't wait. :D

I'll walking in to town at some silly time to pick it up, wonder if Game or anyone are having a midnight launch, doubt it though.

Plus I would be on my own. *makes sad face*

Well I've gave in and ordered it from gameplay.co.uk, I didn't see no out of stock warnings which is suprising.

Konami said there would be plenty of copies available for launch so there would be no chance of running out.

Check my post on page 60 ;)

-Rich-

Already did ;)

Guys stay off Digg, they just spoiled something big that really ticked me off, i didnt see the video but just by the title itself i can imagine what it is, damn them :(

sorry to hear that. hope it didn't ruin the whole game for you...

I'm going to stay offline as much as I can until it's release, so nobody can spoil the game for me.

Link me, then delete the link in a few mins. Just an http link, no one on here needs to click it.

I'll tell you if it's truthful, and how severe it is if it's true.

I'm staying off all community sites involving comments and not going on any fo the forums besides Neowin till it comes out.

I made the close mistake of reading Kotaku comments, slowly reading through i read something along the lines of "Snake..."

At which point my mind shut down and i closed the tab, and now i am avoiding all comments everywhere, and no sites where something someone can post can hit the front page of the site.

Dont click or hover over the text if you want to remain spoiler free....

Link used to be here... deleted..

Like i said, just by the title i already know what it is, so im gonna be expecting it, i know its not anything big, but now it wont be as special as if i had seen it in game...

BTW, i didnt click the link on digg or even read the comments....

Also, the link on digg links to PS3fanboy.com i think, so stay off that site too, while you are at it, disconnect your computer from the internet... i wish i could

And yes it is worthwhile NOT knowing it before playing, as it happens at the exact right point it should :p

Lol!

It nice to see people put the effort in so some don't get the game ruined by other people.

I'm just happy there aren't any asses on Neowin.

And I think Audioboxer has been, how to say this, great considering, I can just bet he's slowly dying inside to talk about the game. :D

I was going to say, I know you were going to wait till we got the game before saying anything, but when we get the game, by the time we finish it it probably wouldn't be till late friday anyway and wont want anythign spoiled, so I was going to suggest playing through with us on thrusday or atleast waiting till the weekend before the spoilers start appearing.

    • Apple reportedly looks to blacklisted Chinese memory chips as RAM prices climb by Karthik Mudaliar Image via Apple Apple is reportedly trying to get a clearance from the Trump administration to buy memory from ChangXin Memory Technologies (CXMT) to get some relief from soaring DRAM prices. As per a report by the Financial Times, Apple approached the Commerce Department more than a month ago and also spoke to other officials and allies in Washington. For starters, CXMT is a company that's already been placed on the Pentagon's list of Chinese military companies. The Chinese company is the country's top DRAM maker. For Apple, the timing is certainly awkward but not surprising. Tim Cook had recently warned that Apple would have to raise prices because AI companies are buying up large amounts of memory for data centers, and just like that, Apple raised MacBook and iPad prices. Micron also recently revealed that customers have committed billions of dollars to secure memory supply years in advance, which shows us how aggressive securing infrastructure has become. This gives suppliers such as Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron more leverage, while pushing hardware makers to look for alternatives. CXMT is one of those alternatives, but not the simplest one. Apple has spent many years trying to diversify parts of its supply chain away from China, especially for final assembly, while still depending heavily on Chinese manufacturing and suppliers. Even domestic brands from China are moving towards CXMT and YMTC instead of relying on Samsung, Micron, and SK Hynix. For Apple, though, it would invite more scrutiny than local Chinese companies. For now, this is more like a lobbying effort rather than a confirmed supply deal. There's no official statement from either of the parties. What is clearer, though, is the pressure behind such a request. AI demand has certainly made hardware a bottleneck, and companies are trying everything they can to bring things back to normal, even if that means making politically sensitive choices.

    • I did test it a month or so back, but ... the results I expect to be on the first page are not there.
    • Neowin is saying these are good prices? Thats crazy. As others have said they are just ######. Time for big tech to bring down the prices for real not this fake crap.
    • The iFlyTek AINote 2 is among the thinnest E-Ink tablets. It has an EMR stylus, a built-in fingerprint reader, and plenty of built-in AI features. You had me until "and plenty of built-in AI features." That and any company that still does the iProduct naming trope is an immediate pass. It suggests the company isn't very imaginative or creative and is trying to piggyback off another company's success. Extremely lame. Also kind of expensive. Better choices at lower prices out there.
