Download Metal Gear Online beta now, a day early
72
After double checking our Men of Metal Gear Solid pinup calendar (April is Raiden's month) we thought some of you had gone crazy. The Metal Gear Online beta is live now? Oh no, it couldn't be. You see, it's only the 16th and, as we all know, it won't be available for download until the 17th. But evidently the PSN gatekeepers have let this 741MB download loose a day early so, if you've got a preorder voucher for the beta (see above), you may want to get downloading. Or not ... you still won't be able to snap your buddies' necks until the beta kicks off on April 21.

You end up having to download it twice, which is retarded. First through the Account Management, then they have an update when you start the game. Here's an idea: just make the original download the updated version. I mean, the thing isn't even supposed to be out yet...

Exactly my thoughts! That update took about 3 hours to download.

What's a Metal Gear Online!?(Seriously!)
Is it just me or this game got buried under MGS4 extreme hype?

It's the online squad-based tactical multiplayer that will come with MGS4. It will be expanded via DLC in the future, but a fully functional version of the multiplayer will come with the game itself.

Duke I just read this...
"OK Fenix. Yet I need you to understand that I'll be telling everyone how bad I owned you at GT anyway, I'm sure you won't have a problem with that."
Not cool man, I never get owned on ANY game =P Except....last night on Halo3. =( Damn I was rusty and then my buddy loaded the MLG playlist at that. Complete n00bness.

You say you're clutching the voucher, but you then say you're at work. Do you carry the voucher with you everywhere? And here I thought *I* was paranoid.
(Not like I didn't do that for my Smash pre-order receipt, but...)
Anyway. Looking forward to getting shot repeatedly by everyone in the ENTIRE FREAKING WORLD.

Call EB, like, NOW. By the time I got ahold of my local GameStop they only had two DVD/vouchers left. I would have been royally pissed, seeing as I've had this game preordered for nearly a year...

I have it installed and you can enter it, so far all I've gotten to though is downloading update 1.01 and it is taking forever.
Good news though, it runs at 1080p.

I flew by the install like *BAM* That! (HTTP not the idiotic Peer to Peer Download at that time being) And already had a Konami account beforehand. I am excited enough to have it sitting pretty like that on my PS3.

Anyone know if you can run the character editor yet?
And what is everyone's PSN IDs, so we can get a game together?

9 digit codes wont work, you have to call Konami to get this resolved. Waiting on contact back from their tech support for MSG4 and my new code. They do know about this problem.
