Computer and Video Games is reporting that UK entertainment retail giant HMV is currently offering pre-orders for Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns Of The Patriots. This might not seem so odd except for the fact that not only are they taking orders for the PS3 version, release dated on the site at April 18, 2008, but they also have a listing for an Xbox 360 version allegedly set to come out on Sept. 26, 2008. Pre-orders are being taken for this version as well despite the fact that we've been told numerous times that MGS 4 will absolutely, positively be remaining a PS3 exclusive. So, is this a case of someone with inside information leaking it out too soon in attempt to grab some euros, or just a major screw up on HMV's part? If it's the latter, they are going to have a lot of unhappy gamers on their hands as well as a slew of refunds to hand out. You can check the listing out for yourself here on HMV's website.
 
meh, no real MGS fan could wait six months. I'll be playing this day 1 on PS3 and if there is a 360 version and if it adds anything interesting I'll but that too.
 
Uh oh... I don't like where this is going

I'm out

HMV: "Please give us your money. MGS4 isn't coming out on 360 so far as we know, but we would like your money now so that we can invest it and profit from it. A year from now we'll probably admit to our ignorance and happily give you your money back. k thnx bai"
 
I'm so sick of this shit. Can we start banning people for making any MGS4 to 360 topics until it actually gets specifically announced by Konami?
 
I am taking pre-orders on Super Mario Galaxy for PS3 and 360, feel free to send me your money and I'll see what I can do.
 
If it's anything like the US, preorders don't get charged to credit cards until the game ships.

That is, Kotaku's speculation about HMV trying to "grab cash early" doesn't even make any sense.

That used to be the rule, but for some reason the rule has been relaxed.

AFAIK they don't do pre-sales, pre-orders cost you nothing.

Thanks, try again!
 
Yeah, if you're going to lock mine when I posted this, you should lock this guys. Or I dunno, just leave the topic open since it's deserving news.

It's not our fault the GAF guys go crazy over the snake. Do MGS4 posts down the server or something?
