Daft Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 Ah come on! You can't tell us that without telling us how you got your copy... Its the Australian version I'm guessing. eBay
Domo Kun Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 Ah I see. I think I'll wait for my special edition, although I am tempted. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Metal-Gear-Solid-4-PS3-Signed-Game-Insert-Hideo-Kojima_W0QQitemZ360058133898QQihZ023QQcategoryZ117562QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem -Daft buddy, check that out.

I'm tempted. Wow....just wow. I'm not really sure what to say...wow. (Pretty stingy on the postage! ) I wish you hadn't shown me that...I think I'm going to resist. How many times are we going to meet Kojima to sign MGS4!? *Thinks about the money* Just for the record: WOW.
flameboy Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 OMG How much is that going for?!! Thats crazy money...
The fish Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 From what I last heard, MGS4 will be coming out on the 360. However, it'll be in 18 months. For the first time ever, I'm genuinely jealous of PS3 owners. Lucky bastards.
Caris Posted June 5, 2008 Author Posted June 5, 2008 It's not coming out on the 360! How many times does it need to be said. Anyways back to a more realistic note this game is fucking gold, i'm about 11 hours in now and it's just jaw dropping in every way. The bosses are amazing, and i can see why EDGE said otacon is an amazing virtual character.
S.C.G Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 Glad your enjoying it Caris I'm gonna wait till my limited edition arrives though, got Ninja Gaiden II to play atm and Rock Band to persevere with... >> Still I can't wait for MGS4... well I can... cos I am but you know what I mean and by the sounds of it, tis gonna be epic. ^^
Babooo Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 For the first time ever, I'm genuinely jealous of PS3 owners. Lucky bastards. In 100% agreement...luckily my best mate will have a PS3 by then so I can play it!
LazyBoy Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 Yeah i'll be borrowing a PS3 off a friend or a few days when I get back in the summer. Want to play it but not enough to buy the system.
The fish Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 It's not coming out on the 360! How many times does it need to be said. I don't want to turn this into a tit-for-tat fight, but it is coming out for the 360, Konami have said so, how many times does it have to be said, etc, etc...
Caris Posted June 5, 2008 Author Posted June 5, 2008 There isn't thats the point. I'm not being a fanboy here but the amount of times Sony's and Hideo have said it's not a timed exclusive it's a permeant exclusive is ridiculous but people don't listen.
Ryan Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 Why shouldn't it stay exclusive? Because you don't like competition?
Caris Posted June 5, 2008 Author Posted June 5, 2008 I'm not saying if i want it to or not, I'm saying the people who make the game say it isn't.
Daft Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 It won't be on the 360 in the near future if it is coming out (Although I seriously doubt that) so who gives a crap. I'll probably be playing FFXIII then anyway.
The fish Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 There isn't thats the point. I'm not being a fanboy here but the amount of times Sony's and Hideo have said it's not a timed exclusive it's a permeant exclusive is ridiculous but people don't listen. As far as I can tell, they haven't. Sony have said publicly that it's "a PS3 exclusive". However, for how long hasn't been mentioned. They're not going to say if it's relatively short term as that'll lose them sales, and, well, surely if it was exclusive indefinitely, then Sony would say so. Also, why would my press contact at Konami lie? An immediate port has, obviously, been ruled out. However, a port in, as I've been told, 18-odd months, has not. It would also benefit all 3 parties - Sony get 18 months of MGS fans buying PS3's, MS get it eventually, boosting sales somewhat, and Konami make enough cash to rival Obama's campaign trail fund.
The fish Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 Ok then, i'll pick it up on DS. Oh, look, Caris has reduced another discussion to sarcasm, and not particularly good sarcasm at that...
Domstercool Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 Still want to know what they are gonna do with 50gb of information on a 9gb disc :P
Guest Jordan Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 Easy. Make the textures lower resolution, make the audio at a lower bit rate, spread it across 6 discs... MGS4 has "chapters" anyway, each with an install on the PS3. They could just do a chapter a disc... be alot of discs mind.

Domo Kun Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 Fishy Fish, who is your Konami press contact and how does s/he know? Very interesting. Metal Gear 4: Subsomething Shame for me if it happens as MGS is the main reason I bought a PS3 over 360.
Aimless Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 Also, why would my press contact at Konami lie? They're probably basing their information on exactly the same internet rumours that we've all heard. I very much doubt they are able to 'confirm' anything; employees only know what they're told, and clearly your contact isn't the most reliable of confidants. I'm not saying MGS4 will never come to the 360, I simply doubt your source's authority. Hell, I doubt Kojima himself can say whether an Xbox release will ever see the light of day. Still want to know what they are gonna do with 50gb of information on a 9gb disc :P Presumably they could strip out the uncompressed audio that all 0.2% of consumers will ever experience. And put MGO on a separate disk along with any currently released DLC.
Caris Posted June 5, 2008 Author Posted June 5, 2008 Oh, look, Caris has reduced another discussion to sarcasm, and not particularly good sarcasm at that... Yeah but to be fair, your talking absolute crap. Everyone seems to think because Microsoft got Devil May Cry from Sony that every other is exclusive going to leave the ring too. You say MGS4 will go onto 360 to make more profit for Konami? Then why doesn't Gears come onto the PS3, or Mario onto the 360. Plus the fact that you still don't understand that the 360 couldn't run the game due to DVD9. On top of all this you have the fact that the PS3's sales are on the increase and is outselling the 360 most months. MGS3 didn't sell that well and that stayed an PS2 exclusive didn't it? Face the truth.
