so if anything,blame sony, not Konami.
sony limited their vision...

perhaps it's time Kojima went to the pc...then we'll see what he'll do.
then again,with all that power at his disposal,i think no one will be able to play his game

Finally able to register my konami id. I followed these instructions on the internet:

I figured out a work-around that seems to work, but you have to be fast and have a bit of patience.

Getting past the first couple of screens very quickly got to be easier (with lots of practice)... but the long registration form is what killed me each time.

So, here is what seems to work:

1) Get to the long registration form as quickly as possible... then RELAX. Fill out this form very carefully and slowly. Remember that the KONAMI ID NAME must be all lower case and the password must have at least some letters in it and be at least 8 characters long... whereas the GAME ID NAME must be different and the password must be ALL NUMERIC.

2) DON'T submit this (you'll get a timeout)... just make sure it is fully filled out and ready... keep the screen near the submit button. Then, open a new tab in your browser.

3) In the new tab, visit the Konami ID site again. Go through the first set of screens very quickly and if you manage to get to the long registration form and it loads completely (and quickly,) switch back to the tab that was fully filled out and quickly hit submit.

4) Be prepared for the confirmation page. As SOON as it loads, quickly scroll down and click REGISTER. Don't bother looking over your information, because it will time-out.

After many tries, this seemed to work for me. FINALLY. It seems the system gives you a session ID that times out WAY TOO SOON for EVERY STEP. Don't they actually want anyone to read at least two words of their agreement on the second page? Apparently not.

Oh, and if you get the generic "Our servers are down" type of message instead of the usual "we deleted your session" message... you can recover from this by entering this into your browser's address bar and hitting enter:

javascript:alert(document.coo kie='');

If a blank alert box pops up, your browser supports this and just nuked the cookie for the site you were visiting. This should let Konami's servers to let you try again sooner, rather than giving you this generic message for a while.

Hope this helps. I kept at this for a while until I discovered exactly how Konami's servers were trying to handle this situation, then came up with this solution to circumvent their silliness. It would be much better if they didn't have this problem to begin with.

Thanks for the tips. I finally managed to register

eh u guys sure can play?
take so much pain to register n download..
later cannot play leh

That day he said, 50GB Blu-Ray disc is not enough. Now, he said Cell CPU not enough also.

A MGS game built from the ground-up on the PC would be absolutely jaw breaking then.

Crysis, you can eat your cakes now.

Dammit still cant register Konami ID.. fuk la Konami site... they know lots of people will sign in still using cheapo server.. now got problem.. stupid tul...

Patience is a virtue it took me forever to get thru the registration oso

During registration, does the 'country' selection part really matter? cuz it says if you're not the resident of those selected countries, the Konami ID is not gonna work

Dude. MUCH PROPS to you.

Konami needs to buy some better servers and re-think their whole 2-ID strategy. That was a pain in the ass...

I received mine almost instantly...

guys,

I am going back to Malaysia when MGS 4 will be launched. It's there anywhere I could pre-order a copy of MGS 4 that I can get in Malaysia (any price would do).

This makes me hesitate on either to buy PS 3 @ Malaysia or in the US. Any suggestion or solution guys?

sorry I am new here in this thread but not in LYT forum. Also been MGS fan since day 1 but never really got the time to express it in forum (same goes with Liverpool blah blah blah u got me )

since MGS is coming this June and I will not be at my place which sucks (will be much easier if I could pre-order at newegg or game-stop) but I have no clue where to pre-order in Malaysia.

Thank you in advance nice meeting u guys.

fuker la..... i still cat register la... dammit. who free wanna help me register... i wil give all the infos.. sankyuu

follow the instructions i posted above, you should be able to register...remember

1. game id and konami id must be different and in lower case
2. konami id password must be alphanumeric. game id must be numeric only
3. no dashes in the phone number box

everyone agreed the sign-up process sucks?

*raised hand*

they should use flash rather than javascript..at least in flash they can show the timeout timer

the most SUK website ever..... so rich b ut website like shit...

as expected from the company that did cd key registration for their we2008 online play.. bengong punye ..

anyway for the konami id thingy .. i put every thing in notepad .. opened the registration page did a fast copy & paste .. and walah instant konami id

i always get the "due to the inactivity period, the page has been deleted"

walau wei...i only press next, and im inactive on that page?..it their server that are slow like a turtle and blame the user for 'inactive'

I seem to have problem with email. I've put all my 6 diff emails and it says that all the emails have been used before.. wth

so, once you've got the confirmation email, confirm it, and technically your GAME ID is working right? cuz i had to do this,


i've got the email and that's about it right?

@samurai, bro keep trying and follow the whole instruction. whenever the page crashed, keep entering the javascript and do it again until you got it right. some tips here, you might wanna check your page loading bar at the lower right of your firefox window. when it's about to complete the page, you have to quickly click the next page then do the rest of the registration.
