With this post, we end Metal Gear Mondays – and would like to thank you for joining us these past few months, as we counted down to the launch of MGS4. But that’s not all! There’s much more to come in the following days, weeks, and months ahead! Stay tuned!
sweet cant wait for thursday
Sweet, I really wish I had the money to buy this game right now, heck I’m not even that far from the Best Buy in Hollywood, but what a great-looking game!
Oh and first? My first first on this blog if so… Haha
Wow i Love mg mondays and can’t wait till the 11th im going to be at the NY signing for sure
thanks for everything guys
I cant wait!! 1 question tho.. What to do with the beta? just erase it? Thanks
SWEET! AWESOME!!!!!! Cant wait for MGS4!!!!
Hey KONAMI, abou Mr. Kojima’s tour, you totally forgot about Canada, THANK YOU! >:(
yes can’t freakin wait!!!! About 3 days left people!!!
one question, does anyone know how Kohima is going to release the passwords for the extra costumes and masks etc…
thanx
Thanks for the update. Metal Gear Mondays have been awesome so far.
WooooHaaaa This is it!!!
Finaly!!!
Thanks Sony You made this Only for PS3!!!
Thanks Ti This Blog!!
Playstation Rules!!
Viva Mexico!!! Viva Snake!! Viva!!
From Tijuana Mexico Thanks
PSN wizardpsx
Thanks for not coming to Canada. I mean its not like we buy the games up here or anything.
See you in NY Mr. Kojima!
I’m buying two copies of MGS4 so he can sign them for me. One to keep sealed and one for me to play.
@post 2
lol it was me
well any way
question and if u can please answer
1. Will we still be using the konami ID for MGO, and if so why cant we just use our PSN ID?
2.Are you playing MGS$ as we comment
3. If the answer to above was yes then does the game rock ?
4. Do we still need to download a patch for MGO?
5. I know its to soon to ask but when do you think we can expect downloadable contents for MGS$/MGO?
thx if you reply
Great thanks for all this excellent info that’s been Metal Gear Mondays…It’s almost surreal though that we’re getting the game in our hands this thurs. I cannot wait!
No Hideo Kojima in Los Angeles?
i will def be going to the nyc event.
should be awesome
I recall reading at the last MGS4 event that Sony had plans to have a 3 day long PSN content update for MGS4. Do you happen to know anything further on this?
finally! can’t wait to get the game and meet mr. Kojima!
Can’t wait 4 this game, been watchin the BLOG all day for either news on this or a new FW update. This will have to do. MGS4 = GAME OF THE YEAR!
um what happen on the metal gear headset its not real?
jeff,noel,or brandon say anything about this
please i heard about and u guys never said yes or no on this subject?
i mean the official metal gear headset?
This is it. I’ve waited so long for this game. It’s finally here! WOOOHOOO!
I’m going to West LA.
The U.S. version of the mgs4 site continues to redirect you to the age verification page. Best to use the U.K. version of the site.
David Hayter?! *High pitched fanboy scream*
If I lived in LA I would so be there…I’d be like:
“Do it…Please?”
David: “Fine but you have to promise me that you’ll leave me alone…”
“Yeah, I swear to God.”
David: “*Sigh*….*puts finger on ear* This is Snake.”
“AWESOME!”
@#6
The hard reality: United States, population: 305 million. Canada, population: 33 million. Number of stops for kojima: 2. Sorry dude.
Can I read / write messages from my Friends List while in game? If not, then epic FAIL.
Every day that goes by that SONY doesn’t provide the community-building features that PS3 needs (aka. total in-game Friends List access, voice messaging, etc.) is one more nail in the PS3’s coffin. How many more nails until it’s completely shut, SONY?
I’m psyched for MGS4 but, at the same time, I wish it was on a console that had a more complete feature set–I’m tired of gaming on a box of “future potential”.
i cant waite for this game
wow Thanks a lot will try to get to the New York event…wish me luck!!
i must say that this metal gear mondays is great
why?
cuz its 2 days for mgs4
The most FUNNY THING ABOUT THIS IS, the fact that I will have it before you all. You see where I live is the place that hits Midnight First in the whole of North America. So while everyone is waiting, like GTA IV launch, I’ll be at home playing. lolz it’s kinda sad that Sony never does an official launch or anyone for that fact, from the official City that starts the new day first. My city. google it to find out. All the way East. This is the game most have been waiting for a long long time.
great Job Folks, I bet it will blow our minds. Fanboys and Fangirls the world over will be in Orgasmic Gaming Heaven. AM I not right?
p.s. I can’t wait to go online again.
See you in the games….
YEAH!!1one!two
LA, SF, and NYC represent a world tour??
its really disappointing that Chicago is never properly represented by anyone.. 2 locations on the west coast, but no chicago..?? sad, indeed..
i’ll get my game on Friday.. thanks..
Any word on what the numbers are gonna be like for the 80 GB bundle are gonna be, I don’t want to wait around for weeks because I cant snag one at launch.
=D
*begins chanting metal gear*
Metal Gear!
Metal Gear!
Metal Gear!
Metal Gear!
No *sniff* more *sniff* Metal Gear Mondays… That is the sadest news I’ve heard all week. I can’t wait for Metal Gear but I always looked forward to Monday blogs. Oh well I’m sure you guys will keep us posted about MGO goings ons. :^)
So will MGS4 be coming out w/ the new update.
the one w/ in game xmb?
@jazzagers i believe the mgs4 bundle is limited and once they sell out of the 80 gig that its for mgs4 bundle.
its not a bundle for good.not i may be wrong so if i am i say sorry in advance
You guys are already looking to score major with this title, though I’m somewhat dumbfounded as to why this isn’t plastered all over the place, and playing every single commercial break. After all, this thing is massive. Still, you’ve got to be pretty happy with the fact that you crashed amazon.com. :P
Easily going to be the PS3 Best Seller thus far within a month, maybe two. Be proud. :D
Please release Metal Gear Solid on the US PSN Store. Please.
@MGSMerc
For the people that doesn’t know MGS is a dual layer Blu-Ray disc and how there will be in the PSN? a 50GB game in the PSN… who will want to download it with the infamous DMR of sony?
Wow… Those are a lot of codes….
Anyways, I got a question, Do I have to have played Metal Gear Solid before to play this game & enjoy it? I am a new PlayStation 3 owner, and new played any consoles before, just PC. So my friend told me to get MGS 2 & 3 to understand the story. Is it required?
Anyways, why two west coast that are very close to each other? How about southern & middle US? Canada?
@ cmargary
Are you serious? Dual layer? 50GB?? Wow! That would be 3 weeks of downloading~ lol!
*Sorry for the double post*
Thanks for not coming to Florida, we don’t like special events or signings… On a more positive, less sarcastic note: WOO! CAN’T WAIT TO PLAY SOME MGS4!!!!!!!
metal gear4 + 2.40 + trophies = Dankandsticky stays awake for 2 weeks…..
K2016>>
Playstation the official magazine put out a metal gear solid exclusive , like 20 pages of everything needed to know.. check it out anywhere like walmart or whatever…
I meant Metal Gear Solid, the first one. Where in my post did I say Metal Gear solid 4?
hours remain…
awesome. 10 years of waiting…have turned into 2 days. seriously, i can’t put the emotions into words.
Anyone knows if we’re allowed to bring our PS3 and have it signed? Or do we have to buy it then and there?
Why cant they bring Kojima to Toronto, Canada, so unfair!!
Metal Gear Solid 4 is almost here I am so excited!
Well I pre-orderd it and I have to find out if there doing a midnight release around me because if they aren’t i’m going to go crazy.
