Are you sure? Though I know most of the hardware total failures of PS3 comes from the 80GB version due to crappy lens in the early batch models.

Its only the early batch models, as in before the Motorstorm bundle. Those 80GB models weren't made by Foxconn as the 40GB models were.

Playing original discs(BD/DVD/CD) is fine, just try to avoid playing pirated stuff.

The PS3's lens is loads better than the PS2, so don't compare them.

Anyone going to replay MGS1, 2 and 3 btw?

Just for the sake of playing this legendary series one more time before we go into the finale.

Pictures now!

Definitely, MGS3 is the best entry in the series. But quite suprisingly it sold the least as well.

My MGS1 is covered in dust

I don't think it matters.

Because Snake will also be using the M16A1(as seen in the TGS 07 demo I think), thats also a 60's gun.

If that was a 80GB, I may have thought about it. But no way, 40GB for RM2200+, thats crazy.

In the recent hands-on in the MGS4 bootcamp by the 14 "pro" reviewers recently, one of them said that the game is running in native 720p and 60fps. However, it is said that 720p is not final.

You got it wrong. A TV's refresh rate has nothing to do with a game's FPS.

The PS3 should have no problems reading dual-layered Blu-Rays(why should there be anyways?). Because if it has, some sort of word must have broken out by now.

I notice that there will be 2 language versions for Asia, the English and Jap.

Now I wonder if the Asian version(english) will have any diference from the US version.

The free PSN game is PAIN.

Nice touch Sony!

2 different version of MGS4 will be availabe for Asia.

One is the Jap version(everything is Jap) and the other is the English version(everything is English).

Now I'm just pondering if there will be any differences between the English Asia and US version or not.

Hahahha... I'm Crypto Jellyfish!

I have a feeling MGS4 will influence people to "grab" another's nut sack.

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

Crysis, you can eat your cakes now.

Wow.... just LOOK at the amount of detail difference between the 2. Its night and day!

I still do prefer "old" Raiden's eyes though. Makes him look more like a "cyborg".

Konami already said that the MGO starter pack that comes with MGS4 is a ground-base for updates coming for MGO. It basically has 5 maps, all the features that you'd expect from the single-player game. Wherter or not the continuation of MGO comes via DLC or a disc filled with maps, features and other contents is yet to be known.

The certain thing is, the MGO starter pack in MGS4, is the full online experience deal you'll get.
