How is it a confirmed date? KP had nothing to do with it, and it says SCHEDULED to arrive at June 12 so even if it was true, changes could still be made.

EDIT: NOW it's confirmed, by KP in the new KP report. June 12th.

Do you think if I preorder the ps3 bundle I'll still get the pre order bonus?

I CAN'T FRIGGIN WAIT !

Me either man. I am gonna go to EB Games on Saturday to ask them about this.

Awesome news. Now I'm more tempted to pre-order, but I know I still won't.

I'm glad the release date is finally official, though, so people will (hopefully) stop debating it.

even though it would be cool to have the saga dvd i would rather get the collector's edition that supposevly contains a making of mgs4. I don't think you can get the collector's edition if you pre-order.

No UK news? You'd at least think we would get some news by now. We are just hated by the video games industry. They may as well not even release MGS4 here at this rate, they can take their shitty 40GB PS3 back, but I doubt we are ever going to get a new model. We can rot in hell for all they care.

Just listened to the Podcast. They were talking about the game been released in all regions on the same date. Listen to it yourself but from my understanding he says it's released at the same day.

yes simultanious worldwide release yay cant wait iam gonna go listen to the podcast now

Can't you just pre-order the special edition and get the same benefits?

aww man i hope so I want the special edition but i want the beta too.

i'll pre-order if i can still get the special edition.

So the bonus DVD will be in stores when its time to preorder?

the bundle comes with the special edition too guys

wait anyone know if you can preorder special edition yet or the price of the special edition???

If you pre order mgs4 now you will get a DVD in about april and in that dvd theres the makin of mgs4 and trailers and stuff and theres a little ticket thing and theres a code in it you right that down on your ps store account and then wala mgo beta will be there to download ...

I listen to the podcast 82 for this info ...

Is this just for the US or world wide?

Well what ive heard this is for US and japan theres no news about that in Europe but there should be a DVD coming to europe ..

Its funny...Back when MGS2 came out, I didnt have a PS2, but I went and bought the game anyway. It was nearly a year later before I actually got a PS2 and was able to play it. Now here we are awaitng MGS4, and I dont have a PS3 :-p Im going to preorder the game anyway, just because I want to have it in hand, as well as the MG Saga DVD.

What stores do we KNOW will have the Pre-Order package avaliable? Most major online gaming retailers I.E. "EB Games" should have it, right?

Well just today I called the guys at Gamestop, he claimed that they weren't given any information on the BETA but they are receiving the MGS DVD but he thinks it's sometime within a month.

Will this pre - order thing and the BETA be available in europe ?? and if it is which shops ?? in london ??

Will Best Buy have the bonus bc thats where Im buying my game
