''Pre-order Ground Zeros now to receive David Hayter's voice for Snake while stocks last! Will also work on Phantom Pain copies.''

Are they charging £10 more on the PS4/X1 versions or £10 less on the PS3/360 versions?
I don't see why this is being skewed so negatively.
Maybe there testing if they can get way with pricing more for PS4 and Xbone games...

By my reasoning, both should be 20.

Because on a Blu-Ra-wait.... !
More funds and manpower involved to craft HQ version of the game.
Because they can. What reason do they have for selling a single area prologue "demo" for 30 pounds in the first place? $$$$$$$$
The cost of running Kojima Productions LA isn't going to pay for itself after all, gotta find more funding! Think of this as a Kickstarter, only via retail! Amirite.

Will rent this for PS3 and buy The Phantom Pain for PS4 when I get one and it comes out.

Maybe they can drastically reduce the range?
I don't know, just a thought I've had for years now.
Sorry for talking about an obviously broken/OP weapon that has been present for a decade now. Just trying to think about a way to balance it.

Yep, will wait for reviews on length. $30 for a portion of a game that clearly looks like it was developed for the previous gen? No thanks.

Looks like I'm buying a PlayStation 4 sooner than I thought.
I might buy it if there is a next gen retail version. Otherwise I will wait for the inevitable MGS V Complete Edition on PS4.
Given your avatar I assume you are an MGS fan. If so you should really know better.
Can't be longer than FFXIII's tutorial.
Easy, just make the ammo super rare.
It's one area, with one story mission as far as we know. But based on the interface they've shown at TGS, it'll also have a bunch of optional missions you can launch which takes place in the same area but at different times of day with different objectives.

I think this new strategy (not that new, Gran Turismo did that before) will be quite common moving into next-gen with costs rising. S-E itself is planning ways to start making earnings before release a proper title, this prologue-stuff could be what they'll be looking for. As a player I'm rather glad I can play MGS5 so early even if it's just a small chunk of the full ver. ~ it keeps me interested in the long terms. I'd pay the same for having a FFXV Prologue on PS4 someday.

I love Kojima and all but how shitty does he think gamers are? "Guys we are going open world now, buy our $30 demo to get use to the new world!"
Sure, they're plenty of suckers like myself who buy it anyways. But it's funny Kojima is the only dude who can pull this kind of shit. lol

Damn, I was absolutely convinced that Ground Zeroes would be an integral part of MGSV and not sold separately, even though there was talk about that before.
Still, £29.99 for a "Tanker chapter" feels excessive. I mean, I've played the MGS2 Tanker chapter dozens of times so I'm sure they'll add some replayability and maybe challenges but I still don't like it. Just feels like grabbing some quick cash and spoon feeding small bits of content to fans.
As people already mentioned, GZ will probably be integrated in Phantom Pain anyway.

This is very interesting. On one hand I just want to wait until the game is fully out and play it all at once, I don't feel like I need a mini release to adjust to the style, it's a game, how hard can it be. On the other hand I'll take whatever MGS I can get it whenever I can get it.
An extra 3 fps per pound. Good deal?

That doesn't make me feel better at all :-/

I knew they were going to pull this nonsense from the moment they were being cagey about how GZ and TPP fit together.
For $30, this better be the biggest prologue of all time.

Lol what? Over 20 euros for a 40 min mission? Basically a glorified demo?!
Come on, this is some bullshit.

If it is really 30$ for next gen, I'll buy it for sure! Converted to EUR this will be a cheap grab, even if the price for next gen is higher.
Can't wait!
Can't wait!

I'm just going to wait for the Phantom Pain to have both.
So that means you're not buying it.
