Lol the fucking i-phone gets a MGS game but the 360 doesn't. This is fanboyism at it's finest (or worst depending on how you look at it).

"Calm down"?? lol at what point did you think I was angry. I was laughing to myself. I have a PS360 and I have MGS4 so I couldn't care less if it went to 360. It just seems funny because it's only on PS3 that people hold exclusives up so highly and feel so strongly about losing exclusives.
When Bioshock went to PS3 did you hear all the xbots crying and moaning about losing there console exclusive because I didn't.
When people start to care more about their console than their games then you shouldn't be a gamer then should you. So sad.

@ayman: I hope to god you're just saying that for the sake of what Fanboys said. Look at the PS3s power button...OMG! WHATS THAT?! THE SAME FUCKING THING! Whats on my laptop power button...HOLY SHIT, THE SAME THING AS WELL! Oh man, so that must mean it's coming to PC as well, right?!

Good god people are stupid fanboys sometimes. Just because one product has it, and you've never noticed it before does not mean its coming to a 360. Look, the iPhone/iPod, from what I remember, has no logo like that. Myth busted.

The 'I' and the exclamation point made perfect sense, but the 'sum' of the equation was only a red herring as the iPhone doesn't sport the universal "power on" icon.

And it's a disappointing announcement to boot.

But it was obvious, we were all saying that it'd be a portable game from the start - but we thought it'd be a metal gear ac!d game, not a remake of MGS4.

Wait, the iPhone's getting a DDR game? But the PS3 not only has no DDR game, but it doesn't even have a legit way to connect any kind of dance pad to it in order to play PS2 games? Fuck you, Konami.

I can connect my DDR pad to my PS3. All you need is a PS2 controller to PC USB connector. I had bought one when I used to use my PS2 controller on my laptop. Funnily enough, it works when you plug it into the USB ports on the PS3.

I can't them for purchase anymore though. I saw some in 2007 when I first started looking, but now, no one seems to carry them anymore. I've also heard stories of them lagging badly, and I can't have that for a game that requires precision of movement.

I just think it makes no sense for them to support the 360, Wii, and now the iPhone, while releasing neither a game nor an official dance pad for the PS3.

It's Konami's and Sony's fault on this one.

It's Sony's fault because since they aren't killing off PS2, Konami can still release DDR on PS2.

It's Konami's fault because they see no point in bringing DDR to PS3. They brought DDR to one console since the previous one was killed off so early. They brought DDR to another console to appeal to its audience. With PS3, until the DDR fans from PS2 jump to PS3, Konami sees no reason to bring it to PS3. There's not much with the DDR graphics they could do (it doesn't require fancy graphics). Konami never comes close to filling a DVD with music, so blu-ray isn't helpful (Konami won't jam the disc with songs since they rather stick to a small amount and save songs for other versions). Konami just doesn't believe in actual downloadable music. On Xbox 360, they sell unlock keys to 10 songs each version. Konami also just doesn't see the PS3 market as being very big for DDR.

There was once a thread where a Konami rep or something mentioned whether people would like a DDR on PS3, and the majority said no, because many DDR fans are on PS2 and do not want to make the investment into PS3 and DDR. The other issue is that Konami does not have enough resources to make a PS3 specific version. Their Hawaii Studio makes DDR on 360. KCES makes DDR on Nintendo platforms. KCET makes DDR on PS2. Since Konami has greatly downsized their gaming development (which explains why their output has greatly dropped this gen and why some games like Contra 4 and SH: Homecoming were outsourced to western teams), they just don't have enough staff to also make DDR on PS3, unless they dump PS2.

What Konami has done over the years is:
-They made their Xbox DDR online focused, to cater to Xbox fans. The reason 360 sees DDR is because MS killed off the original Xbox and Konami had no choice but to move to 360.
-They make DDR on Nintendo platforms to appeal to Nintendo fans. The first one featured Mario (something Nintendo fans love), and the Hottest Party series is there to appeal to casuals on Wii (the Wii market basically, by having motion controls.
-The PS DDR games tend to be the more arcade oriented ones. Their arcade engine is still PS2, and while PS3 has PSN, Konami can still make DDR online on PS3.

I'd love to see DDR on PS3 more than anything, but in many ways I do understand why Konami just hasn't switched it to PS3. Until PS2 is dead, Konami is sticking to PS2 for DDR.

@Heavytoka

I actually have seen that product recently. I don't really want to pay for it though if it has so many negative reviews. Some say that this product allows you to use PS2 controllers on PS3 games, but won't allow you to use them on PS2 games played through the PS3. I don't want to buy online based on speculation, and I'd prefer a brick-and-mortar store so I can return it easily if it doesn't work, but like I said, I haven't found them for sale anywhere lately.

If i had an iPod Touch and the price for this game were fair I might get it. . . but not before outweighing the pros and cons of spending that money at a strip club instead. . . Snake would understand.

You sir, are a fucking retard, and have no idea about the capabilities of what the iPhone has. MGS4 is never coming to 360, only because it's a piece of crap, and I don't think you can fit a 50 GB game into you're "so called HD DVD" Go get a life, dumbass.

HD-DVD?? The 360's games don't run on hd-dvd's they run on regular dvds.The HD-DVD thing is just an add-on they have to pay for to watch hd-dvd's since the 360 doesn't have it built in. Only DVD's work with the 360.

I buy iphone games...but only the ones made by idp. There the only company that makes games that arent garbage. And Hero of sparta is the best God of War clone on the planet (and its only on iphone/touch). Brothers in Arms is pretty impressive too...MGS4 is gunna shine. ALthough i must admit...i only buy games after my friends buy them. $14.99 is like that other commenter said...a trip to the strip club
