European servers do not need registration codes

So try getting it

I am still trying to log into the game. Getting loads of errors

Game ID: kirakun85

I may have to get ready the US code that was provided to me if I can't use my Australian one LOL

Yes, I finished updating yesterday morning

Took me exactly 24 hours through P2P

Seriously, that is up to you.
If you want to play early, go ahead and get Asian Version.
US version will take a little longer to reach to you. Cause they have to reach to HK before coming to you.
That 5USD difference is the mark up + shipping cost to reach to them.

Everything should be the same.
The only thing that may vary is the booklet, who knows US maybe colored or they could both be the same.
Choice is up to you

I'm getting this http://www.gamestop.com/Catalog/ProductDet...aspx?sku=270209

It seems EU PSN which also includes Australia has taken down its demo.
The only way you could get it is through getting yourself a Beta code and download from the US server.


The only game I tried that was region locked is Motorstorm.
Everything else isn't
I think only by Friday will it be safe to say whether MGO is region locked or not.
I am prepared to try this cause I have the Beta Code (haven't been used) and actually downloaded the EU side.

A few of my US friends have asked to try out together.

Will confirm when the time comes

Don't know who is Bernard but I think it will be Asian LE

Reason being the US LE is Gamestop exclusive.

Gamestop does not ship to Malaysia which to me SUCKS!
At first I didn't bother the LE however when I heard the goodies especially tin box
To me is it a must get for me I liked my Assassin's Creed tin box :3

I begged my friend who I met online in a online game called Final Fantasy XI.
He ordered 2 for me hehe

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots Limited Edition 2 $169.98

Subtotal : $169.98
Tax : $13.63
Handling : $5.99
Grand Total : $189.60

That's in USD.... plus another 60USD at least for shipping over to Malaysia with UPS

That is a whooping $249.60 (RM 790 with today's exchange rate)

Therefore that's like RM 395 per game.... Oh how I wish the USD drop more... make it 2.9

You can't.
You will need to pre order in US to get it.

Therefore, the only way to get it is by asking your US friends who pre order and doesn't want to try beta...
I got mine from a Gamestop Employee

LOL... thanks Acougan. I think I am being more of a fool >_<;;;
Could have bought 2 games with that amount of cash but I am a MGS fool.
The US LE is way better than the JP for the first time in my opinion.

1. The Box Art for the Limited Edition is pure ownage. The US art seems to be more superior that the JP (JP only Metal Gear Solid 4)
2. The Game cover, JP is art illustration of Old Snake which is better than the 3D model of Old Snake
3. Bonus DVD content seems to be rather similar but who knows... It seems like the cover for their Bonus DVD is different in color where JP is the opposite of the US color scheme and it seems to be tin cover or just metallic color
4. Pre-ordering MGS4 Limited Edition in the US will also provide you the art book illustrated by Yoji Shinkawa. No news on whether JP is getting this or not.

After considering all these goodies, I have to get it

Now in my opinion of MGO, they are connected globally.
Probably it will work like Final Fantasy XI, so if your version is JP and Asian (JP voice), even if your default voice command is in JP, the other side will hear based on its language.
So like if you say 'Gambateh' as in default, those in English version will hear 'Good Luck'

That's me :3

We will find out this friday!

Well like I said, we could only determine this on friday.
But that's my opinion as through playing several online games only.
times have change lol
maybe they would like us to play as a global community

my reason of it being region locked is based on player skill.
JP uses lock on where US tends to like FPS mode more
To avoid conflict of players, they may region lock

of course, there is always lag.
it is how much you lag

i was referring to the instability though.
i could be wrong with this judgement though cause i see inconsistency of my ping over in this area of mine hehe

i don't see why not
if you think about credit card validity, well you have to use entropay.com (refer to warhawk page)

and also Playstation Network Card for the US will be releasing spring 08

and yes my answer will still be the same.
if you were to purchase US games, be sure to get your DLC from US PSN.
Since you can't pay with several credit cards, the only way is through entropay.com which is virtual credit card as mentioned in warhawk thread.

And that Prepaid Network Card for the US will be releasing spring 08.

After experiencing Warhawk's DLC where I thought it was region free but it wasn't, it is easy enough to say play safe, download your content based on your games region.

Interesting that you have brought this up

I would like to remind those who are planning for MGO Beta

25/04/2008 24:00 (00:00) convert to malaysian time is at 15:00pm
well provided that it is actually 00:00 on the 25/04/2008...

I could be wrong. I will ask my friends again or someone here can confirm actual time.

Must get it...
I haven't been out lately
Been studying for my CPA exams and camping MGO LOL

I am a big fan of EGM
But Dan 'Shoe' Hsu left EGM... I like his articles

thanks haha
most likely see you in MGO Beta
