what do i need to do?

You need a beta code which was distributed via the pre-order bonus MSG Saga Volume 2 disc.

Did you pre-order MGS4?

I did. But I didn't get the bonus disk. My local GS was sold out

I pre-ordered the LE, and got the key with the pre-order bonus. Which is ridiculous since I ~~hate~~ don't particularly like MGS, but I'm a dork for nice looking LE boxes.

MGO is shit, by the way.

Yeah, you need to get a Metal Gear Saga 2 DVD. The Best Buy's around here still have them.

Mupepe · « **Reply #4 on:** April 30, 2008, 04:08:40 PM »

so I can just go preorder? sounds good.

I have a feeling Gamecrazy and EB/GS are all out of the DVDs. Check Best Buy.

Don't waste your money. MGO sucks.

Well I'll be buying MGS4 anyways, might as well get something for free

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #8 on:** April 30, 2008, 04:45:19 PM »

No, you'll pay for it in frustration. You'll have to downloaded multiple patches, get a Konami ID, etc.

It's not worth the time. Just buy Metal Gear Solid 4 and forget MGO exists.

It's not that bad. Just make sure you pick P2P as download method, and have some patience while it picks up speed. Registering the Konami id, and game id (it doesn't use the PSN id

) is where people have ran into trouble, but it should be fairly smooth by now.

Mupepe · « **Reply #11 on:** April 30, 2008, 05:28:20 PM »

well i'm going to best buy after work anyways, so i'll see if they still have any.

Mupepe · « **Reply #12 on:** April 30, 2008, 05:53:37 PM »

wait, where/how do i change download methods?

It will let you choose between HTTP and P2P when you download the updates.

Mupepe · « **Reply #14 on:** April 30, 2008, 07:47:43 PM »

sweet, got the disc, i'll do it tonight

hyp · « **Reply #15 on:** April 30, 2008, 08:50:45 PM »

buy any Rainbow Six/Ghost Recon/SOCOM, put a patch over an eye and start smoking. it's better than playing shitty MGO.

Sho Nuff · « **Reply #18 on:** April 30, 2008, 11:50:18 PM »

Go buy a copy of The Outfit for $5, the online is better than MGO

Mupepe · « **Reply #19 on:** May 01, 2008, 12:55:02 AM »

The Outfit? That's pretty harsh. I'll install this stuff tomorrow. When does it end?

Rman · « **Reply #20 on:** May 01, 2008, 11:45:41 AM »

Wow. The patches barely download. Is Konami using two servers or something. My progress bar was stuck a zero percent for two hours.

Japas fail at ronrine

Mupepe · « **Reply #22 on:** May 02, 2008, 01:22:29 AM »

oh my fucking god.

i thought i was downloading both updates at once! and why the fuck do they actually make you downgrade??? that's fucking dumb! agh

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #23 on:** May 02, 2008, 01:28:35 AM »

You will spend more time updating than you will playing, because the game sucks. It was a total waste of time. SELL YOUR PS3 IN PROTEST!!!

Mupepe · « **Reply #24 on:** May 02, 2008, 01:30:44 AM »

I could have been watching a movie or something! Or playing Heavenly Sword!!!

Also, when I'm downloading something from the PSN store, it says "download in background" but when I start watching a movie or something it either goes SUPER slow or stops? THAT'S NOT THE BACKGROUND!

duckman2000 · « **Reply #25 on:** May 02, 2008, 01:33:58 AM »

Aahaha, what? They don't offer the separate updates in one download bundle?

Movies from the HDD work, but I'm not sure it works for actual disc based movies.

in fairness the second patch is very small. but still to download 700mb for the game then 700mb for the first patch is fucking gay

Mupepe · « **Reply #28 on:** May 02, 2008, 11:35:25 AM »

Played it last night. Pretty fucking gay. Time wasted confirmed? I'm going to give it another shot tonight
