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 :)

http://www.netsoundsmusic.com/nsudsii/2/372576153/738/2.html

Not sure if I like the look of that second one

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

Girlfriends don't come before MGS.

Don't ever make that mistake again.

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 Weekly: 5 years of Windows 11, more support for Windows 10, and expensive Xbox by Taras Buria This week's news recap is here, with Microsoft giving Windows 10 one more year of support, Windows 11 getting new taskbar settings in preview updates, Steam Machine prices, higher XBOX prices, and many more. Quick links: Windows 10 and 11 Windows Insider Program Updates are available Reviews are in Gaming news Great deals to check Windows 11 and Windows 10 Here, we talk about everything happening around Microsoft's latest operating system in the Stable channel and preview builds: new features, removed features, controversies, bugs, interesting findings, and more. And, of course, you may find a word or two about older versions. On June 24, 2026, Windows 11 turned five. The controversial operating system was released half a decade ago, and during these years, it received a fair share of criticism (such as poor Windows Search and its web results), which Microsoft is now actively addressing with regular preview updates that deliver missing, long-requested features. With Windows 12 nowhere to be seen on the horizon, it will be interesting to see if Windows 11 can stay on the market for as long as Windows 10 did. Speaking of Windows 10 and staying on the market, this week, Microsoft quietly prolonged the Extended Security Updates program for Windows 10, allowing users to get one more year of security updates if they do not want or cannot upgrade to Windows 11. Finally, Microsoft released this month's non-security update for Windows 11. KB5095093 arrived with a traditionally long list of new features, including point-in-time restore, new Windows Update settings, quieter Windows Widgets, new accessibility features, File Explorer updates and performance improvements, and more. Windows Insider Program Here is what Microsoft released for Windows Insiders this week: Builds Canary Channel Build 29617.1000 and build 28120.2374 These builds bring new accessibility features, new Windows Update controls, audio improvements, and more. Dev Channel Build 26300.8758 This build includes redesigned taskbar settings, File Explorer improvements, and more. Beta Channel Build 26220.8754 and build 28020.2366 This small update fixes the OneDrive bug in File Explorer, tweaks system sounds in dark mode, and more. Updates are available This section covers software, firmware, and other notable updates (released and coming soon) delivering new features, security fixes, improvements, patches, and more from Microsoft and third parties. If you use AI-powered browsing history search in Microsoft Edge, the company has bad news. A new update on the Microsoft 365 Roadmap revealed that Microsoft is discontinuing the feature. Despite using on-device models for natural search, some users found it creepy, claiming that Microsoft lacks trust in features like this. While the ability to find pages without using 100% precise words may sound cool, customers argued that it was nothing but another feature to bloat the browser with more AI. Good riddance? PowerToys received several updates this week. For one, Microsoft released version 0.100.1 with several improvements and bug fixes for the recently arrived version 0.100. A couple of days later, Microsoft dropped another update, this time fixing memory leaks in Command Palette Dock. In addition, the company is working on a new module that will make it easier to switch between windows within one application using the Alt + ` shortcut. The new module should make it to the stable release somewhere soon. Here are other updates and releases you may find interesting: New Ventoy update adds Windows 11's mandatory update support and more Microsoft updates Visual Studio Code with chat cost tracking and multi-agent chats Microsoft is building an AI datacenter that "uses less water than a fast food restaurant" Microsoft adds new AI study and teaching tools for free to Microsoft 365 Education Researchers claim Microsoft's quantum breakthrough is flawed by basic Python errors Microsoft is bringing a much-needed Recap app to Teams Microsoft's fast coding model, MAI-Code-1-Flash, comes to Copilot Business and Enterprise Here are the latest drivers and firmware updates released this week: AMD Radeon Software 26.6.2 with FSR 4.1 support for RDNA 3 graphics card. However, the driver contained a bug, which prevented installations on Windows 10 PCs. AMD fixed that with a quick hotfix update. Reviews are in Here is the hardware and software we reviewed this week This week, Steven Parker published several reviews. He shared his experience with the Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe, a high-quality sound card with a headphone amp, low-latency communications, great build quality, and DSD256. However, it is on the pricier side of the spectrum, and it lacks EMI shielding. Check out the full review here. The second review is about the TerraMaster F4-425 Pro, an octa-core Intel NAS with a stand-out feature: built-in AI (OpenClaw). We also published a few Hands On reviews, which you can view below: We check out the SKG PS700 Neck Massager SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500 hands on Hands-on with BOOX Tappy: cute little reading accessory Hands on with the ProtoArc EM25 affordable ergonomic mouse On the gaming side Learn about upcoming game releases, Xbox rumors, new hardware, software updates, freebies, deals, discounts, and more. If you plan to purchase a new Xbox, it's time to act now. This week, Microsoft announced yet another Xbox price increase. Starting August 1, 2026, all Xbox Series X|S models with 512 GB of storage will cost $100 more. As for the 1TB models, they are going up in price by a whopping $150. Finally, Microsoft is discontinuing the 2TB Xbox Series X. To make up for that, Microsoft announced a few programs to make its consoles more accessible. Those include BNPL, interest-free financing, pre-owned consoles, certified refurbished consoles, and more. Valve also shared some not-so-welcome news. The company has finally announced prices of the upcoming Steam Machine console, and if you plan to buy one, get ready to spend a whopping $1,049 on the 512GB configuration. The Steam Machine is now available for preorder, with shipments scheduled for June 29, 2026. Grand Theft Auto VI also received its official price tag. Rockstar Games announced that the long-anticipated game will launch at $79.99 for the base edition and $99.99 for the ultimate edition. The latter includes an exclusive collection of premium vehicles, weapons, apparel, and action threaded across all aspects of Jason and Lucia’s story." Those who preorder the game will get extra bonuses, including a Vintage Vice City Pack of cosmetic items as well as a free month of GTA+. NVIDIA announced new games for its GeForce NOW streaming service. Those include Dark Scrolls, SAND: Raiders of Sophie, Deer & Boy, EMPULSE, and more. Steam is running its annual Summer Sale, during which you can purchase plenty of various games with big discounts. It runs until July 9, so in case you missed it, you can still get some games at a lower price. Also, you can get two games for free in the Epic Games Store, plus more deals are available in this week's Weekend PC Game Deals issue.

    • Text extractor hasn't been working great on 0.99.1 but I am now updating to this version, hopefully it's better!
    • Yet you did exactly what they wanted you to do - is it better now without "Europrats"? BTW, UK had joined EU (EEC back then) and was one of the leading member states, it never joined Schengen Zone though 😉
