How early is everyone going to the NY event? Will the lines be huge? No one knows about this.
Cal @ Jun 5th 2008 11:05AM
I'd say get there as early as you can. I've waited in quite a few lines here and they always get huge.
Eternal @ Jun 5th 2008 11:07AM
why do you think no one knows about this?? its MGS4 so dude im certain there will be lines this isn't the only video game blog on the web. I can only imagine how long the line will be thats why im going to wait online the night before so I'll be there the 10th ;-) I'll have my camping chair and a bag full of food and stuff most I'll be sitting in the blue and green chair lol. so I'll see you there.
FOXHOUND @ Jun 5th 2008 10:24AM
If I wasn't on shift that Wednesday, I swear I'd fly out to one of these locations to check it out(most likely the NY event with Kojima himself).
Damn the Patriots!
Eternal @ Jun 5th 2008 11:27AM
dude switch days with someone ;-) or call out sick if possible this doesn't happen every day. They are flying in from Japan to meet and greet the fans come on out to NY or wherever it is you intend to go.

augie531 @ Jun 6th 2008 4:14PM
I need to head up from San Diego to L.A. to meet Hayter and Payton.
Broton @ Jun 14th 2008 4:26PM
Where did joystiq get all of this information? I don't even see these details (the time and people signing) on the official konami mgs4 tour website. Is this information reliable? 'Cause I don't want to go there at the wrong time!
