Doesn't matter for me.
I registered 12 f**king times for the signup for the MGO beta and got rejected every single time.
Screw Konami.

You've had around a year to preorder the game, guaranteeing yourself a spot in the Beta. You have nobody to blame but yourself.

I'm not about to plop down $5 for a supposedly "open" beta of a game.

LOL, that $5 goes towards your purchase of the game, that's the whole point of a preorder. You're not really paying $5 to beta test, you're preordering and they're letting you test as a result.

Wow you're an idiot First off, you can't spare $5? Second, technically it's not even $5, as it goes to your preorder. Cheapass...

Working on the ipdate to the install right now. It has taken about 10 minutes or so. There is the ability to download the update through torrent or http. Did notice rumble as well...

can someone give me the website for the MGo beta download?
Posted: Apr 16th 2008 12:21PM (Unverified) said
Um, there isn't one. You preorder the game, get a DVD with a code inside. You then punch that code into a special place in your PSN account which adds the Beta to the PSN store for you. Then you download it. I think.

WHY MUST YOU TORMENT ME KONAMI!!!!
i was hoping at least to be able to run around the levels by myself. or customize my character or something.
this is worse than someone giving me all the nonalcholic beer i want.

@Dave white
You are missing a character. There is a big fuckup with the keys. A lot of people only have 9 digits like me. I emailed konami and said they would give me a new one.
At least you are only missing 1 digit.. You can always try A to Z for the last one and 0 to 9. Make sure you are typing in CAPS.

Make sure you are using CAPS for the letters. It does say something on there about being case sensitive.

Posted: Apr 16th 2008 11:29AM Antiwarhero said
I did use all caps is the code format XXXX-XXXX-XXX. I feel like I am missing a number or letter. I will try again, but I am going to be very disappointed if it doesn't work.

A Little Help Hear...Please?
A buddy of mine gave me his beta code because he pre-ordered the game but still doesn't have a PS3 so he let me have it. My question is, where do I put this code in on PSN? I'm going to make my Konami ID and all that today as well, but I was just wondering where exactly do I enter the beta code in. If anybody out there can help me I would really appreciate it. Thanks.

I realize you can't play online yet, but can you at least get into the game to edit your character?

what's the website for MGO beta download?
Posted: Apr 16th 2008 11:27AM Duke said
Stop asking over and over and look at the site you are at: You register here http://id.konami.net/ , and then http://www.onlineregister.com/konami/mgops/ for entry into the beta - which you will likely not get into at this point.

No...but you can edit your character when they turn the game on.

It says my code is invalid, I'm scared I won't get in now.
Posted: Apr 16th 2008 12:29PM TheKonamiMan said
I sent an email to Konami about it, I guess any codes that are 9 digits instead of 12 don't work. I hope this gets straightened out.

I sent an email and a couple hours later they gave me the missing digits of the code but then the code didn't even work. I set them another email and I've heard nothing so far.

well im hoping and waiting for the EU version to work for me tomorrow. ive never been a fan of the MGS series (ima run and gun guy, shoot anything that moves) but my taste could change over time, i mean i didnt like FPS's either til a couple years ago. so i wont be heartbroken if i dont get in but i would like to give it a shot.

If you want to get more accustomed to team-dependent play, fire up COD4 and play some other modes like headquarters, search and destroy, sabotage, etc. Or you could get any of the PS2 SOCOM games and train that way. Nothing is more fun than getting on a good team that communicates and acts as a single unit. I think MGO has alot of stuff dedicated to that (simple commands that echo to your squad/team etc.).
