Metal Gear Solid 4 - Bonus DVD with Beta

[consolecrusader]

Did anyone else pickup the Bonus DVD with the Metal Gear Solid Online Beta code? Ijust got mines today I can not wait to plya MGS Online. I am definitely joining the hype wagon on this one. There is no way Kojima would make an awesome game and a terrible online for MGS4. I got mines in Clifton, NJ Gamestop on Route 3. Just pre-order the Limited Edition $84.99 for $10 down and you get it. I am going to redeem my beta tonight. LONG LIVE MGS!

I'm really torn at the moment on this subject. I do not have a PS3 but am starting to really want one for GTA 4 and especially MGS4. Lucky for me they are offering what appears to be a fantastic bundle with an 80GB ps3 MGS4 and dual shock 3 for 500 bucks. If I'm not mistaken the 80GB PS3 was selling for that without MGS4 and the old six-axis (even if it's discontinued)

Anyway I would have purchased the limited edition if I already had a PS3 but now I'm wondering if I get a PS3 a little early I can get the limited edition, an invite to the beta, and play GTA4 when it comes out instead of a few weeks later. I would be getting a 40GB without any backwards compatibility. The 80GB at least has software emulation and for what it's worth an extra 40GBs of space. It seems silly to get it before hand and sacrifice the rest for basically a beta and a more expensive copy of the same game.

Any thoughts?

what the hell, I preordered mine last week and they didn't give me shit! I'm going in there and causing a scene next time. That would be cool if I can just show them the receipt for it so I won't have to yell at anybody. Actually I wouldn't yell at anybody at all, I'd just go ask them to get me that stuff.

just called my gamestop, in CT, the bastards don't have it in yet. DAMMIT!

[Cinder6]

Yeah, my Gamestop doesn't have it yet, but they say I can still get it. I'll try them this weekend.

[consolecrusader]

Yeah what sucks is lets say your part of a pre-order of 50 people....the GS could only maybe get 20 copies of the limited edition disc, so automatically 30 people are arsed out of the gift...I mean seriously ONLINE BETA FOR MGS!

Anyway speaking to my GS they said ALL GS should have the bonus DVD with Beta Today and tomorrow.

Also Youtube video of the disc and some content coming up in jiffy

[walrusmonger]

I called my GS and the guy said, "uh, that should come in with the game."

I'll be calling or going in tomorrow after work. I dont' want to miss out on any MGS lovin'

Here is the link to my youtube video of it

I just got it at the East Brunswick, NJ Gamestop in the Midstate Mall. It was the old Funcoland, not the Gamestop that was there years ago and still has the old Gamestop sign.

I haven't seen the last trailer on the disc yet. I watched up to the part where you get to see Naomi's cleavage. Is this the spoilerrific trailer I've heard so much about? I won't watch it if it is.

I'll be looking for it tomorrow. How much more jacked for MGS4 could I be? None. None more jacked.

[walrusmonger]

i'll pull the old cardboard box routine if the gamestop i preordered at doesn't get me the saga disc

[consolecrusader]

What sucks is a lot of people are going to be assed out because they dont have enuff DVD's in certain areas to cover the demand.

After I seen this thread I called my local EB and they had two left so I ran down and pre-ordered the limited ed. and got the DVD. Thanks consolecrusader for starting this thread because I would have never known about this DVD until it was to late.

[consolecrusader]

Glad to help hope to see a lot of you in the Beta...I might even call out for that ish!

Glad to help hope to see a lot of you in the Beta...I might even call out for that ish!

Is this beta disc just for pre-ordering the huge mega-special edition of MGS4? Or can you get one for pre-ordering the regular $59.99 edition? Gamestop.com isn't very clear.

[mailman187666]

I called my gamestop and they told me that they should be calling the people who preordered the game to pick up the bonus stuff because it won't come in till next week sometime. I'll have to check back on that because you never really know if they are gonna follow through on some things or not.

[heybtbm]

To answer my own question...

I picked up the bonus DVD/beta access at my local Gamestop today with a $5 pre-order of the regular $59.99 version of MGS4.

[Iroquois Pliskin]

i got mine today and i didnt even reserve the game...shit i dont even have a ps3. i just got connections son. and im pre-ordering my limited soon.

[LiquidPolicenaut]

Dammit, I preordered the LE online and I dont think I get this specific DVD as a bonus (MG Saga 2.0). Now Im gonna have to try and see if any local GameCrazy has them and see if i can just put $5 down and get the DVD....

Anybody get this in Canada? I've stopped at two places and the employees were mouth-breathers. "Huh?" type answers with blank looks were all I got.
