No, but yeah as you have completed it

Oh well I'm sure some of you will ###### it like I did and complete it in like 2 sittings :laugh:

(mild spoilers below!)

I would say take your time, but honestly, first play through will be a story play through. I hardly touched the ipod first time through ;)

Plus you pickup songs as hidden items throughout the game.

You could at least tag them :/

unfortunately I can't play it until friday :(

I have promised my friend I would play it with him, that little sucker doesn't have a PS3 :angry:

^

Midnight is a dreaful time to pickup this game, you'll get no sleep :p

I actually would seriously either

a) Sleep and will till morning to buy

or

b) Buy it at midnight and sleep and start playing in the morning

You could at least tag them :/

Everyone knows about the ipod.

Konami officially announced it ages ago and there has been many screens of it posted in here.

Then it's not a spoiler is it?

No not really, but it is a reference to something in the game which people don't have yet. Therefore I gave a small heads up for the purists.

It would be worse if I spoiler tagged it, as everyone is going to assume anything behind the "black rectangle" just now is going to reveal something "major". No one in their right mind is going to hover over anything this close to release ;)

I just hope i will be able to pick up a copy at my local Tesco's tonight. Does anyone else know of Tesco's/Adsa doing a midnight launch for the game?

If its a 24 hour Tesco/Asda, you should be able to just ask after midnight for a copy?

Personally its what I would be doing if I wasn't goign to be at the gf's for the night, and she lives close to the city centre, so I'll just take a walk in jsut before the shops open to buy mine then fly home as quickly as possible to play. :D

I wish I wasn't working 2moro :cry:

I have to wait 2moro as I am trading in GTA4 towards MGS4 at Game (as you get ?30 for GTA4), also before you say "Why trade in GTA4?" Simple, I have a PS3 version and my brother has the 360 version, if I wanna play it I can just play it on the 360:))

But seriously, 5pm 2moro cannot come soon enough! :busted::

Who said i was going to be playing it when i get back tonight? :shifty:

Nah i'll be getting some sleep hopefully. I am seeing my gf tomorrow so i won't get much chance to play it tomorrow either. I might order the White DS3 now since i probably won't get too much play time until Friday. Hmmm decisions.

Girlfriends don't come before MGS.

Don't ever make that mistake again.

Getting sleep?

Loser. :p

I have already told my gf that I wont be seeing her for a few days after tonight, she isn't too happy, but understands somewhat that sometimes I will disappear for a few days after a game release, gta games, final fantasys and such like.

As much as I love her, I love games too. :p

Too true. :rofl:

Sounds like your GF is your PS3 :rofl:

Oh, a question Audioboxer about MGS Online

does the on-line portion still use the silly Konami ID stuff?

While I don't care as I had one for the beta, but was just wondering for those who are new, or have they streamlined the process through the game?

Can you go into some detail of how it works now, didn't the beta have only mgs game friends list and not the global one, is it the same in the full version?

Sounds like your GF is your PS3 :rofl:

Lol!

If only :laugh:

I don't have to take a Ps3 out, I can buy it games we both enjoy, it never moans if it doesn't get attention, and because we never go out, it never takes ages getting changed or choosing cloths, lol.

Just been playing MotorStorm with the DS3, and while it's an improvement over the DiRT demo, it still hasn't got the same kick as as the 360.

I wonder if it can be modded?

Is the rumble feature heavily used in MGS4? What about the motion sensors?

Anyone know where I can import "metal gear solid - essential collection" to europe? Checked amazon and Best Buy without any luck. Decided I really want to burn through those old ones before buying IV :)

Not sure if I like the look of that second one

EDIT: just noticed that the play asia one is NTSC :/

Or even better having a gf who doesn't mind and is happy to watch or maybe even play it when have small breaks :p

    • Microsoft's fast coding model MAI-Code-1-Flash comes to Copilot Business and Enterprise by Karthik Mudaliar Microsoft’s recently announced MAI-Code-1-Flash model is now generally available to GitHub Copilot Business and Copilot Enterprise customers. With this support, organizations can have more centralized policy controls and billing while finally being able to use Microsoft’s lightweight, first-party coding model. According to GitHub’s announcement, Business and Enterprise plan administrators must enable the MAI-Code-1-Flash policy in Copilot settings before developers can access the model. Microsoft says that MAI-Code-1-Flash is for fast, iterative coding work rather than the most demanding architectural or debugging tasks. GitHub’s official model comparison page says that the model is great for "general-purpose coding and writing," while it excels at fast, accurate code completions and explanations Microsoft introduced MAI-Code-1-Flash on June 2 as part of a broader collection of internally developed MAI models. GitHub subsequently expanded support to Copilot CLI, the Copilot cloud agent, GitHub.com chat, GitHub Mobile, Visual Studio, JetBrains IDEs, Eclipse, and Xcode, but said support for managed Business and Enterprise customers was still on the way. In Microsoft’s own benchmark testing, MAI-Code-1-Flash scored 51.2% on SWE-Bench Pro, compared with 35.2% for Anthropic’s Claude Haiku 4.5. Microsoft also claimed that the model used up to 60% fewer tokens on SWE-Bench Verified. Do note that these are vendor-run results rather than independent measurements. The model is billed at provider list pricing under GitHub’s usage-based system. GitHub currently lists MAI-Code-1-Flash at $0.75 per million input tokens, $0.075 per million cached input tokens, and $4.50 per million output tokens. For organizations, the main incentive to use MAI-Code-1-Flash is likely to be efficiency rather than maximum capability. A smaller model that responds quickly and limits unnecessary output is quite useful for repetitive agent tasks at scale, especially after GitHub Copilot’s move toward usage-based billing. The "Flash" model is recommended for fast work and not necessarily for huge repositories with loads of context. It's better if teams compare their output with other larger models, especially if they're working on security-sensitive changes and complex, multi-file work.
    • yes AND no the "original" or plain/normal Optiplex 7010 won't be getting any more new firmware updates BUT the Optiplex SFF/SFF Plus {small form factor}, Micro/Micro Plus & Tower/Tower Plus 7010 editions DO get new updates such as this new one   and here are similar guides from the Dell web site for Dell systems: https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000390990/secure-boot-transition-faq https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000347876/microsoft-2011-secure-boot-certificate-expiration
