Noob!

I learned Japanese in a day, A DAY! :cool:

Only kidding, but I'm going to look into this as well :yes:

Wow really? Can you be my tutor I have been working on it for years and still suck lol :p.

I hope my local gamestop gets it in soon last time I talked to someone they told me that they wont get it until a week before the game comes out... :| I hope they dont have any idea what they are talking about!

[soniqstylz]

I want to learn it in fear of FF13 not getting a worldwide release :(

To be fair, I say that for every FF release though.

I'd rather learn it so I can make a FF release :)

I hope my local gamestop gets it in soon last time I talked to someone they told me that they wont get it until a week before the game comes out... :| I hope they dont have any idea what they are talking about!

they're clueless. the local gamestops here got their shipments of the saga dvd today, and most gamestops around the US have gotten theirs. others are getting them tomorrow. i suggest giving your gamestop a call to find out if they have it in.

Where do we use this code, any place we type it in before the 17th or do we just need to wait?

[American Ninja]

Official U.S box art revealed:

wow

[Sethos]

Gotta be honest, not liking that very much.

Looks like an attempt to make him look like plastic on purpose :/

But It's the inside that counts :laugh:

[Lauguu]

I would rather have some of Yoji Shinkawa's art on the box... more like the Japanese one...

[Deaf Spacker]

Official U.S box art revealed:

wow

Since when has CGI been on the cover of a MGS game?

That looks horrible :/

Supposedly Europe's final box art!

[Sethos]

Now the EU one looks awesome!

Oh, also found this over at Kotaku concerning the Beta;

"Konami Insider wrote:

Here's the deal, we're well aware of PS3 owners applying to subscribe to the MGS Online Beta which is currently limited to Japanese PSN account holders (i.e. Japanese residents), anyone subscribing with a PSN id which isn't registered from a Japanese PSN account will not be accepted into the program. However, we're also well aware that a large number of unscrupulous members have signed up for a Japanese PSN as well. Any member who has signed up to the Japanese PSN with fake or invalid details will be flagged at this point and their PSN accounts suspended pending further enquiries, in addition all beta members have to fill out an initial beta slip sent to their registered Japanese address. If they fail to return this beta slip, their access to the beta programme will become suspended.

It is our effort to only offer beta testing to qualified individuals who can offer us quality assurances on the beta versions of any of our software. Members abusing this system will be reported to Sony (worldwide) and it will be our request that such accounts or sub accounts will be banned from participation in ANY beta program in future and in cases where information supplied is fraudulent access to the relevant PSN networks will also be restricted to them."

If that's the case, I'm glad I never went through with the sign up.

Europe will get Metal Gear Online beta

Konami has told Eurogamer that it will be announcing its European Metal Gear Online beta plans "shortly".

Its comments follow (at a safe and undetectable distance) word earlier that sign-ups to the MGO beta in Japan appear to be inaccessible to those of us with Western-originating IP addresses.

The full game is due out around the world alongside Metal Gear Solid 4 on 12th June, so Konami had better get its skates on.

Pop over to our Metal Gear Online first impressions to lift the veil from the face of comprehension.

Again, hot off the presses, a never before seen box! Of note, for the first time ever, the PS3 will be packaged in a white box as opposed to the typical black one, and of course, is also branded with MGS4 goodness! Inside you will find the 80GB PLAYSTATION 3 package (yes, the 80GB PS3 has been resurrected for this bundle), and will include a PS3 DualShock 3 controller - yes, the PS3 controller that rumbles, and the MGS4 SE (detailed above).

and this one (no hardware box for this one yet)

Sorry, no box reveal this time (we have to keep some surprises :-) )! We are confirming that there will be a North America offering of this VERY, VERY Limited Edition bundle! This is the “gunmetal grey” PS3 – the one seen selling out in a matter of moments in Japan at the KonamiStyle web store. Stay tuned for more details on this exciting product!

Megaton of sales incoming! :woot:

It's also an 80GB so BC intact!
