Joyswag: Win a Metal Gear Online beta entry code
by James Ransom-Wiley

Sure, in Europe the Metal Gear Online "Premiere Beta" is open to any and all who wander into the PlayStation Store beginning, well, right now. But that's just not how we do things here in America! ( ... and Canada.) We prefer our beta testing to be ultra-exclusive. We prefer passing a crisp bill across the counter in exchange for an entry code (and a DVD of some old footage). But, if you've been feeling distinctly un-American (shame on you!) and have failed to pre-order Metal Gear Solid 4, here's your chance to sneak right into the Metal Gear Online beta. Joystiq wants to welcome you to Konami's swanky 14-day parté by giving away one, single, solitary entry code into the beta (just one). Follow these five, deceptively simple rules to enter:
- To enter this giveaway, leave a comment crying out for Snake. (You know, something like: Snake? SNAKE? SNAAAAAKEE??!!)
- You must be 18 years or older and a resident of the US or Canada (excluding Quebec -- sorry folks, but Snake just can't hear you from there).
- Limit 1 entry per person per calendar day. (We can only take so much of your yelling.)
- This entry period ends at 12:00pm ET on Monday, April 21st. We'll randomly select the winner at that time (please check your email!).

yoou have it ultra exclusive, but what's the problem of just getting a code? here in europe we just jack into PSN, but in the end we are the ones who pay much more for consoles and video games

WiiSports Machine...Fernandos in disguise PSN: Killjebus @ Apr 16th 2008 6:18PM
I dont understand...why not just GO TO GAMESTOP and pre-order the game so you can get into the beta. As of 2day in the west burbs of Chicago...multiple Gamestops still had the DVD with the beta codes.
Got it? Good....git 'er dun.
John McPoop @ Apr 16th 2008 7:23PM
Hey GG the other night in HSG Out Of Bounds ... I am going to practice up this week and unlock some characters ... hopefully improve my short game ... I picked up GT:Prologue so I will probably be playing that and the MGO Beta until GTA IV drops ... Hit me up and lets play some GT:P or MGO B
WiiSports Machine...Fernandos in disguise PSN: Killjebus @ Apr 16th 2008 8:07PM
Sounds good Mcpoop. I have unlocked about half the characters. Short game is key. I just got GT5P also. I will be on 2nite, as I am off thursday.
If I am not on when you sign in...just send me a message.

I'd really like to steathly kill some people during this beta, plus, I promise to grow a mullet and wear an eye patch the entire time I play MGS4....and I'll be smoking a cig the whole time too. Yeah. Pick me! Joystiq is the greatest literature in the history of recorded writing.
