[PS3] Cooking Guide: Can't Decide What To Eat? PROTIP: THIS IS THE MGS4 THREAD

Another source!

GameStop's also received an e-mail from our corporate offices about this.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

In response to incredible demand, we will be manufacturing more 80GB PS3s for North America and the Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots 80GB PS3 bundle is an ideal way to offer that continued value to our consumers," said Jack Tretton, president and CEO of SCEA.

Definitely not some dude's brother. Don't know an exact date yet, but ever since GameStop's had it as a pre-order, it's been June 18th. Nice ava/sig, Skills. CT love.

My assistant manager and I were talking about this when we heard the news. I think it's gonna be something like the following scenario: you download the multiplayer game from the PSN (think Lost Planet's demo), pre-order the game at GameStop and receive a voucher/coupon code that gives you access to the game like a CD key, and BAM! play the game.

It could be something entirely different though. Who knows.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Does that PS3 have a giant red ? stamped on it? I'll keep mine if that's the case.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

We got an e-mail from corporate office today saying that we'll (GameStop) be receiving the pre-order DVDs soon that will include access to the multiplayer beta. So go to GameStop, pre-order it, and check like mad to see when it'll arrive.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Pretty bitchin' figure, Hantei.

In other news, MGS4's Japanese vocal track will be taken out of the US and Euro releases due to lack of disk space. I don't really care about the Japanese track, but I'm sure someone does. Anyone here?

I was speaking idiomatically.

We know we're getting something, but we don't know when yet. I think I remember an e-mail saying we'd be getting in the MGS1 - 3 chronology DVDs soon, and I guess the beta access kit is included with that.

I've been operating under the assumption that April would be the date for something MGS related to come in, but that's purely speculation on my behalf.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I saw the DVD last night and I like how they chronicled the series thus far. I was kinda afraid it would end up being the Xenosaga DVD -- just a bunch of cutscenes glued together.

FELIPE NO

So, if what GameStop gives out is Metal Gear Saga Vol. 2, where's the first volume?

How ya doing, buddy?

I probably wouldn't go out and hunt for it regardless. I worked at...I think we merged with GameStop when Subsistence came out, but I don't recall a preorder DVD. Oh well!

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Okay so consider me lost. Did they use the theme in a trailer and whoever has the rights to the song said no because they weren't initially credited or didn't get their permission?

If it was something that petty, Kojima probably could've had it taken care of right then and there. If not, what's the story?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

No, our stores don't link up like that, so your best bet is to cancel your preorder at it's current store and move it to whatever store you'll be near when it comes out.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Kagosin, if you personally have ever had that problem, that's one thing, but I assure you that's not common practice in the company. Having to even go so far as the store manager to get a preorder canceled is ridiculous.

And yeah eprox, you can get a refund back on whatever method you used to preorder (cash for cash, credit for credit). What I was suggesting was just canceling the preorder at Store A and putting it back down at Store B where you'll get the game.

Wtf indeed. This was supposed to be the reason to re-release the 80GB model. I wonder what happened.

I was speaking idiomatically.

That's even more strange. Usually when shit like this happens we get an e-mail from corporate saying "There've been some changes..." yadda yadda yadda. Can't understand why Konami's create a 40GB bundle for $200 more and make it exclusive to their website.

Most amazing jew boots

I'm thinking that lining up for a signed version might be a better idea though.

Why is it stupid? If you pre-order it, it's not like you have to pick it up at midnight; go in the next day and get it. Now, if it's a money issue you're running into, that's hardly a reason to say something's fucking stupid.

How ya doing, buddy?

Same thing for me too. I see so many people come into my store asking for old guides, saying "Aw man I should've bought it back then", so I go ahead and buy guides for games I'm probably gonna keep for the rest of my life; something of a "collector's set."

I've still got really clean copies of the original Chrono Trigger, Super Mario RPG and even all three of the Ocarina of Time strategy guides.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Oh damn, my store hasn't yet received our LE guides; got the regular ones in today.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
