Support NeoGAF

[Captain Nemo]

Yeah I brought this up in the official thread. You just KNOW that there will be people talking loudly about the ending.

I hope not...I really doubt I will be able to finish it in two days and don't want to rush the experience. Hopefully everyone will be courteous.

 

[rikichi]

the line usually forms right in between the sony store/playstation store doors.

dont forget earplugs/really loud music

the previous time I lined up at the metreon, it was from the corner of 4th and mission, on the side of the building that isn't directly connected to the Playstation store. However, I remember reading (and seeing pictures) of a side of the Sony store that I'd never seen before, for when they did God of War II.

so basically whoever get there first will be able to start the line?

again, ill probably get in line between 8am-9am. i'm sure by that time there will be some people already in line.

damn, so excited!

still deciding whether i want kojima to sign my JP LE cover or my US LE cover.

 

[Auron_Kale]

I'll be going down to the Playstation store tomorrow to check if they have all of the final details for the event - getting pretty stoked about Saturday.

I'll now trying to decide what version to get signed - US LE or JP LE...but I'd also like to have my 'Dissolve' poster signed if it's possible...

So yeah, I'll be sure to pack my headphones for the wait, as well as some CalorieMate (actually bought some yesterday) and bottles of Japanese iced coffee...

I posted in B/S/T thread

I am definitely interested.

IN FACT, anyone reading this, please know I'm interested!

I'm willing to pay for YOUR copy of MGS4 as well. I'll even trade an LE for it (even though you won't be able to get that signed ) !

Also willing to trade some classic games for it if money ain't what you're looking for.

I have all the goods... Suikoden IIs, Panzer Dragoons, etc...

If anyone would be kindly to help

--

I'd drive up myself (from San Diego), but I really can't make it anymore, I have plans that I can't cancel

MarkMan, sent a PM. I GOT YOU, SON

Also I might be bringing four of my friends with me. That's kinda up in the air ATM, though.

Also, about the line, I'm going to laugh my ass off if this ends up like the PS3 launch where there were two different lines.

Someone call them, ask for a manager and ask where they want NeoGAF to set up the line. :lol

 

[Darkpen]

nice to see that this thread's been alive. But yeah, could someone ask the playstation store manager where the line will be setup? I'll be heading down there real early in the morning, if there aren't people camping already.

THANKS... I got it and replied.

Let me know how we can organize this !

 

[ezekial45]

Looking forward to meeting you guys there.

 

[rikichi]

so fuking excited!

cant wait to get there and chill with ya guys.

 

[Auron_Kale]

I got word from a friend of mine that they'll only be signing slipcovers that are provided and the game if you purchase it there at the Playstation store.

Kinda sucks that they won't be able to sign anything else, but I'm going to go down to the Playstation store and confirm all of the details for Saturday.

So...any idea on how we can identify one another while waiting/getting in line? Not really looking forward to asking random people "Are you ______ from NeoGAF?"

Holy shit, that is terrible.

So if you have the LE, you're going to get a slipcover signed for an edition of the game you don't have?

 

[wenis]

that just cant be true

i call bullshit.

i'm still bringing my JP LE cover.

 

[Auron_Kale]

Just got back - they'll only be signing the provided slipcovers and a copy of the game (if you purchase one there).

Here's the flyer:

From what I'm told, it's basically Konami running the show - the Playstation store is basically just the host for the event so they have no control over what/what doesn't get signed.

They're also giving away stuff (one item that I saw in-store, but couldn't take a picture of it) so yeah...

Jesus, if I can't bring my own stuff then I may not even go. I can't afford to buy the damn game twice.

 

[Imperial Hot]

Are their any gaffers that are willing to buy and get a copy signed for me? I don't live near any of the signings. I would gladly transfer you money for the game and shipping through PayPayl if you could help me out. You'd be my hero if you could do this.

 

[careksims]

Wait so you have to buy it or can you just bring your own copy? That's gonna suck. I want my LE box signed :/

 

[wenis]

wow.....ummmm.......just really fucking wow...

 

[ezekial45]

I was hoping to get my MGS3: Subsistence LE signed. That really sucks. I'm still gonna go though.

 

[Imperial Hot]

Come on now one can buy and get me a copy signed. I'd pay for the game and shipping.

 

[rikichi]

They're also giving away stuff (one item that I saw in-store, but couldn't take a picture of it) so yeah...

what kind of stuff?

any ideas?

 

[Splash Wave]

Christ, I can't believe that Konami thinks that people who are big enough fans of Metal Gear to wait in line outside of the Metreon to meet Kojima would wait two days after the release of the game to get it.

 

[OldJadedGamer]

It's only one item signed per person. You may have a hard time getting someone to do this for you.

 

[Auron_Kale]

any ideas?

You'll see... Like I said, the one item I saw was a give-away, but even the store employees weren't sure as to what else Konami has planned.

 

[Wario64]

That sucks if the sign literally means you have to buy the game. I would like to get at least 2 things signed too...autographs on my LE MGS3:Subsistence and MGS4. Subsistence especially since that thing is rare.

Give NeoGAFFers some love.

 

[rikichi]

I cant fuckin wait man!

Might go down to the metreon tomorrow to check what that 'item' is.

 

[Crayon]

grr......

I live closeby in Berkely. And I wand to meet Kojima and ask him for ZOE3 myself.

And if he can't sign my MGS1 notebook (preorder deal with the metal cover, remember?) and he can't sign my ZOE2... and he can't sign my PS3.... then. Well.

Grrr. I'll think about it.

I would love you long time!

 

[Imperial Hot]

I will pay for your copy of he game if you can buy me a copy, get it signed and ship it to me. I will reimburse you for my copy, the shipping and I will persnally purchase your copy for you.

Damn, superfan! That's a deal!

Guess I'll see you nerds there. =D

 

[wenis]

i hear theres already a line forming at the metreon...any verification on that?

 

[rikichi]

i hear theres already a line forming at the metreon...any verification on that?

hope not

i'm gonna go check it out tomorrow.

 

[Auron_Kale]

i hear theres already a line forming at the metreon...any verification on that?

Curious... I'll go check it out after work today...was actually going to stop by the store anyway (I had some Beard Papa yesterday and have been craving more - the strawberries & cream puff was awesome :O).

 

[ezekial45]

i hear theres already a line forming at the metreon...any verification on that?

I was just there. I didn't see any lines outside.

Ok, so how are we gonna do this? Are we gonna meet after the event has started? Or before?

 

[wenis]

im probably thinking its best to meet before.
hopefully one of us starts the line. ill be wearing a name tag.

 

[Chromax]

I wonder if getting there around 8 am is good enough...

 

[kazuo]

Guys I can't go, I have to cover for someone at work on saturday. Sucks but what can I do? Besides, it's 8 hours of OT so woot woot!

Someone help out MarkMan, I feel bad cause I told him I'd handle getting him a sign and now I had to bail.

Have fun guys

 

[Wario64]

I'm not too sure if I'm going now... if I can get one of my stuff signed I'll go but if not, then I'll have to reconsider. Getting only a slipcover signed is meh. Plus I want to carpool with someone

Also how early you guys think we'd have to be there?

 

[Chromax]

Also how early you guys think we'd have to be there?

That's what I want to know, 2 hours should be enough for them to go through a decent amount of autographs right? I hope I don't have to go at like 2 am or something...

 

[Darkpen]

lol wut, no, I don't want to buy MGS4 at the playstation store.

I already bought MGS4 LE and the LE guide at GS yesterday morning :|

The hell D:

I'll probably go, but... errgh.

 

[Momar]

You guys are gonna have to count me out on this one :-/

I got the SE with the bundle and an LE from a GS pre-order. If I can't get my own stuff signed, I'm not gonna buy a third :-/

As awesome as Kojima is, unless shaking his hand will give me god-like powers, I'm gonna have to skip this event.

 

[Shadow780]

Don't worry guys, They've had a similar sign like that in front of Virgin Megastore, but you can have anything signed by the crew. Just make a purchase and pick anything you want him to sign. You can always return the copy later.

People had fucking cardboard boxes signed and everything:

A nice gallery at PS3Fanboy of the other stuff.

There was one guy who brought a FOXHOUND Gamecube which I never saw before, Hideo was amazed too by checking it out.

wait, DO you have to buy something? because that would suck regardless

 

[Shadow780]

I don't know about the SF event, but at Virgin megastore you HAVE to make a purchase. However, you can choose whatever you want Hideo to sign. he's very friendly, smiles a lot.

It's the store staffs who are douchebags, they kept interactivity to a minimum and try to get ppl out of the store as fast as they can.

Well, I hope that you're right, and judging by the Virgin pics it seems like you are, so I'll just bring my MGS4 'Dissolve' poster anyway for signing...as well as have the slipcover & maybe an extra copy of the game signed as well.

 

[keanerie]

Uguu~ I can't make it guys, I'm going to a friend's graduation in Santa Cruz tomorrow...

Will be down near the Metreon in a few minutes, though, so I can check if there are people.

 

[Crayon]

SO what's the story here? How early do you have to be there?
