You're missing another group of people who are saying why bother buying new gen consoles version or waiting 2 weeks to pirate PC version if I can just pirate PS3/XB360 version which will also be released at September 1st?

More like 7-10 days before that, so watch out for spoilers in that time period.

Good point.
Console piracy is always conveniently swept under the rug. (not saying the guy you replied to was doing that though, but it is a good point)

I'm...I'm...gonna have to take that hit.
Yeah after the no PC CE and 60 euro price it's gonna be a nuuvem buy for half the price just out of spite.
I would imagine a bit higher but not very far off.

the two weeks I can handle, this fucking pisses me off
There are better deals out there than GMG
I was planning on getting it directly from Steam but not for £59.99. That price alone is what I'd normally pay for Collector's Edition for some games.

I think that's what I'll do as well. PC for future mods (if they are possible) and longevity, and PS4 to get the traditional MGS console experience. Plus I don't really want to wait two weeks to play it when I'll be off the entire week of release.
I find it surprisingly easy to avoid. I've managed to do it with GTA V so far, so I'm sure I'll be fine waiting for the price to drop away from the ridiculous £60 it is currently at

I'd say to be careful about saying that. Who knows, they could end up delaying it an extra few months right before September as a fuck you to PC gamers. Been seeing that happen quite a bit recently.
Eh, GTA doesn't place anywhere near as much emphasis on plot twists as MGS, so it's gonna he hard to avoid dickheads posting spoilers over the internet without warning.

Two weeks aint bad!

It isn't that hard to be honest, I played MGS4 in 2011 without getting any spoilers.
Whoa spoiler alert
Yeah may have to leave GAF on this one, but I don't intend to get the game for a few months. So that is going to be much more difficult

That's basically $115 Canadian dollars. Jeez, just use a vpn or something, I feel bad for you guys.

I've had a few things spoiled from a couple of games recently just from browsing YouTube. People who are popular, have hundreds of thousands of subscribers (me not being one of them) and yet still put spoilers in the video titles and thumbnails. It's infuriating.

i want to play MGSV on PC but i cant wait for 2 freaking weeks....
damn if its 2 months the decision will be much easier....... ughhhhhhh!!!!

Won't say I'm surprised. 2 weeks is annoying but not too shabby.
Release gap to avoid piracy is plain ridiculous though. Pirate is cheap enough to not buying a game, do you think they will buy a console and the game to just to play 2 weeks earlier?
I bet Konami aiming to sell 2 copies from those who can't wait. Get sale from console ver, then get sale from PC ver when someone mod dinosaurs on it. I hope there is pre-order discount on Steam.

Sucks. I will never again pay for a game that delays the PC version. I've had just about enough of that bullshit.
Look how long ground zeroes took for pc. Yeah...

Hey thanks for that. Thanks for doing exactly what keeps these games delayed on PC. Thanks a lot.
This argument would make sense if the game wasn't 6 months from release and if they already didn't have GZ ported to PC.
2 weeks is literally nothing when it comes to that.

Color me pleasantly surprised, was expecting a much later date for PC. Still find this almost too good to be true and worry about delays.
GZ PC and GTA made me skeptical of optimistic PC port release dates.

It annoys me more the lack of a physical release (CE or not).
Not sure about pricing in your region - but consider GTA is £39, and this is £59. God I hate business Konami
Hope you're right.
So true. I'll be hermiting from people altogether, online and in the real world.

I wish you could pay a little more to get all the DLC present on the console collector's edition, currently you only get some of the DLC but not the full DLC package.

Two weeks is a short enough period of time to make it really dumb that they don't just go day-and-date with the console versions.

PCGAF be wary of spoilers in these two weeks. I expected a late release but 2 weeks is a nice surprise. Decent enough, I guess.

It's obvious they're trying to prevent piracy by...making them wait two weeks I guess? If they weren't going to buy the game on PC, they are not going to buy a console + game just for it. The MGS fans and people interested in the product were already going to buy it day one, so I really don't see who Konami is trying to sweep with this move.
Maybe it was a deal with Sony and MS to maximize console profits?

60 scoop?
