Do we have any idea what the LE case is going to be like yet? Is it going to be the Game, bonus Blu-Ray and the OST all in separate cases or is it going to be in a single 3 disc case?

most likely a single case unless they package the OST in one of those paper slips that a lot of PS2 games have been doing. they could probably put the game and BD discs on the opposite sides on the inner front and back covers

Pre-ordered the LE at gamestop. Employee had never heard of the game before, :lol ^^;

 

[Pai Pai Master]

I got asked if I wanted it for PS3.

Stupid employees are stupid. Pay them no mind

How do they freakin' get hired much less keep their jobs? ugh.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

Kagari, what do you think about the LE and MGS Saga disc? You think it'll be possible for anyone who preordered the LE to just show their receipt and pick up the disc or do you think they'll check SKUs and be all crazy about it?

 

[LiK]

How do they freakin' get hired much less keep their jobs? ugh.

when i was in HS, i applied for a job and they have a question and they ask you what systems you own and i own a ton of systems. too bad they never hired me. the empkloyees at that local GS are totally clueless about video games in general. i guess some managers like to hire airheads that they can control

No. If you preorder any version of the game you get the Saga Vol 2 disc. It's not specific to the regular version.

do you know if that includes the online store? they dont mention it.

 

[LiK]

man GAF keeps double posting me

 

[Pai Pai Master]

Cool, thanks for the clarification.

Also, stop double posting.

 

[YYZ]

When I went to pre-order Halo 3 Legendary (I though it would be worth something, LOL@me) the girl asked me which system, wtf.


Anyways, I just called EB and they don't have the LE in the system yet. Also no word on pre-order bonus.

 

[LiK]

Cool, thanks for the clarification.

Also, stop double posting.

i submit once and i get a dbl post for no reason. probably my internet at work

 

[Kagari]

do you know if that includes the online store? they dont mention it.

I'm not sure. The way it's worded on the online store is odd... The B&M store is actually separate from the website, that is what I can tell you.

 

[OokieSpookie]

I do not know about most, but I know at the one by me essentially the manager hires his buddies unless they are transfers and the rare somewhat attractive girl who makes the mistake of applying ( and usually transfers out soon after ).
(And even though they are friends they do not go crap about games no matter what the system that it is)

 

[BeEatNU]

your always dbl posting

 

[Wario64]

Shit, did they mess up my preorder upgrade? I got SKU 270173 on my receipt. I forgot to check before leaving.

My local GS's SM doesn't know anything about any game or system. The last game he played was Madden 2005. I loved when customers would ask him about games and he would freeze and point them to someone else for an answer.

 

[fistfulofmetal]

So I can just preorder the LE version on top of the normal, wait until I get the Saga with the Beta thing, then cancel the standard version preorder shortly thereafter.

Sounds like a plan.

 

[Kagari]

Yeah. That's the normal version.

thanks for the info, guess i'll go to the store after work for my preorder. just in case.

your always dbl posting

lies, it only started 1 hour ago. i hate my work internets ;_;

 

[LiK]

i also preordered the normal one, just in case

 

[careksims]

I love my GS. They seem to always be on top of the gaming scene. They knew about the LE and the MGS Saga Vol 02 in April. All pre-ordered. All I have to do is go back in April when they start releasing it

 

[kuYuri]

Do we have any idea what the LE case is going to be like yet? Is it going to be the Game, bonus Blu-Ray and the OST all in separate cases or is it going to be in a single 3 disc case?

No, no one knows how it's going to be like. We have to wait for further details on the packaging from Kojima Productions.

I can respect him asking someone else, in the one near me they do not bother and just spout misinformation out of their asses.

 

[Wario64]

Yeah. That's the normal version.

Guess I'm going to another Gamestop then. But cute asian girl works at this location :/

 

[virtuafightermaster]

Does anyone actually watch the extra content on the extra disc?

I have bought many special edition games, but I haven't watched any of the extra discs yet.

I really enjoyed the extras on the Subsistence disc 2.

did you get her number?

When will the 80GB MGS4 Ps3 bundle be available for pre-order in either the US or Canada?

 

[Kagari]

TBD. I'm sure retailers will know once Sony gives them allocations information.

 

[Mr_Furious]

Upgraded my pre-order to the LE this morning. All is well in MGSland.

 

[Suburban Cowboy]

25$ seems like a lot for a documentary and art book. But then again, im not much of a fanatic.

 

[~Devil Trigger~]

I got asked if I wanted it for PS3.

:lol

that happen to me with Uncharted

 

[GoncaloCCastro]

Limited Edition for Europe, any details on that or do we get the shaft?

 

[BeEatNU]

man GAF keeps double posting me

:lol

 

[Tenden]

Anyone know an online retailer that ships to Europe taking pre-orders for the LE?

 

[B.K.]

25$ seems like a lot for a documentary and art book.

You also get graphic novels and a soundtrack.

 

[BocoDragon]

Okay.... so I just got back from an EB Games in Canada, and they don't show any LE in the system yet (unless the clerk just couldn't find it). I should check back later to see if it's been added.....

I'm getting scared because Canada got the shaft on the Subsistence LE. I knew I should have sent that angry letter to Kojima :lol

 

[Tom_Cody]

I will pre-order tonight. Hopefully this will not result in the same nightmare situation as the Subsistence Limited Edition. I had to fight with my EB to get the copy that I had pre-ordered.

 

[kylej]

preordered

 

[Y2Kev]

reserved mine

 

[Ken Masters]

as much as I think $85 is too much I am way too tempted to pre order this




I just would really like to know if these docs are going to be in 1080p or at least 720p, would be kind of ridiculous to have SD content on a blu-ray

 

[neojubei]

Just pre-ordered mine today and the clerk at EB that ran me up was lol, he asked for ID when I bought the MGS essential collection, but I'll let LiK tell the story about the clerk. All I can say is that he had halo on the brain.

And LiK, I'll get LO next payday.

 

[sw26]

Limited Edition for Europe, any details on that or do we get the shaft?

Nothing yet, but I'm hedging my bets on us getting shafted anyway. We wouldn't be from Europe otherwise.

same here, I called them and they couldn't find it in their computers

 

[Mejilan]

Swapped my earlier preorder for the LE today, and my receipt looks almost identical to that, save for the total Mass Effect reaming.

 

[Simo]

Preordered my copy of the LE here at the EBgames store in Ann Arbor, MI. They actually had the info and SKU for the LE in their system on Saturday when I called which surprised me because when I preordered the regular edition at the beginning of the month they had no idea about the final release date or Saga Vol.2 DVD deal.

I took my friend with me today who also preordered MGS4 and GTA4. He got talking with the associate who brought up GTA4's midnight release and my buddy asked him about MGS4 getting a midnight release to which the associate replied he wasn't too sure which I then jumped in saying I'd appreciate it if they would. :lol

He replied that if Halo 3, Smash Bros and GTA4 can get midnight releases then it'd be only fair that MGS4 get one too and it's just a case of payroll for who to work that night so the chances seem good!
