The website is dumb. Just order from the store.

yea, the CSR from the site knows nothing. preorder one copy from a retail store just in case and save yourself grief. i've had early preorders from the site that didn't send me my bonuses as promised even tho i preorder the day they post the bonus offers.

 

[Wario64]

So, I have the LE preordered 3 times, each at a different store. I'm not fucking around with this LE.

 

[Euphor!a]

I'm pretty sure the LE comes with the Saga 2.0 DVD on the Gamestop website. They updated the picture and it now shows the MGS4 Box and the MGS Saga DVD next to it, although nothing is said about it. They also added an extra $10 for shipping, it is going to cost more to overnight it than the actual game. >_<

[fistfulofmetal]

Preordered the LE at the Gamestop around the corner from the one I preordered the standard edition from.

When the Saga and Beta comes out I'll go to the one and get it, then cancel the preorder shortly after. Just to make sure I don't look to suspicious.

Would be funny if the Saga and Beta code comes with the LE too and I end up getting it twice.

Are you sure that's the Saga disc though? It might just be the bonus disc with the interviews etc. on it. The text doesn't mention the Saga Vol. 2 anywhere in there.

I want to believe though.

yea, unless the Saga V2 disc IS the same making of disc in the japanese SE version.

thank you Gamestop for your clear descriptions! /sarcasm

Well, the disc does say "Metal Gear Saga" on it.

 

[MidiSurf]

Any US stores where i could import this game ?

 

[Johnas]

Well, the disc does say "Metal Gear Saga" on it.

Oh, on the disc itself, I didn't even look at it that well. I was trying to read the case.

Thanks.

I still think the text needs to make mention of it.

Of course the LE preorders are getting Saga and beta codes. Why wouldn't they?

Last time I was in this thread I read that they weren't. :\

 

[kuYuri]

Last time I was in this thread I read that they weren't. :\

Don't fuck with me. I want my Saga. =(

 

[fistfulofmetal]

I just want the damn beta code.

We'll see in April.

 

[BocoDragon]

Okay well here's one Canadian who just ordered the LE off the site to be sure... Total: $115.00 after shipping, handling, and the extra $10 handling fee. OH MY GOD. This is a rape.

Hopefully it will appear in Canadian EB's system so I can save $$.... but as of right now, it still hasn't appeared.

 

[WickedLaharl]

for 85$ plus tax the LE had better get the saga dvd. otherwise imo it cheapens the LE.

goddammit i wish we had confirmation from konami that the LE is getting thee saga dvd as well.

 

[BocoDragon]

You know, maybe the LE includes the Saga disc in the package, which is why it isn't bundled with it?

 

[Kagari]

Konami confirmation would be nice, but I'm pretty sure the LE preorders get it too... at least in-store.

 

[WickedLaharl]

i believe you kagari. i just don't trust my local gamestop employees. that's why i would like confirmation for konami.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Contacted Gamestop and they said that unless specified, they will indeed ship it to Canada. If they fuck with me, I'm going to shove some magazines :/

Oh damn! I'm glad my order came up to $90

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots Limited Edition 1 $74.99

Subtotal : $84.99
Tax : $0.00
Handling : $14.99
Grand Total : $89.98

As i previously mentioned (copy/pasting my previous post):

Well.. You can see that the game cost me $74.99 instead of $84.99

Use "Diamond" as your coupon code and you'll save $10 on anything over $75.
Ironically, this coupon code is for Xbox Live Diamond Users only.

Thanks Microsoft for making me save money on Metal Gear Solid :lol:lol

DO IT :lol

There is only one Gamestop store in Canada that i know of. It's an hour away, but it'll be worth the drive :lol

 

[~Kinggi~]

I'm about to spend 101$ dollars for a freaking limited edition of a game i am not certain will be amazing and for a system i yet own. Hideo's got powers.

 

[Big-E]

I think I am going to order the LE now and just get the vanilla here on release.

 

[Johnas]

I corrected that error you had there

I don't have a PS3 yet either, btw.

 

[Link]

Hot damn, I'm preordering this first thing tomorrow.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Hot damn, I'm preordering this first thing tomorrow.

Tommorow? No. Tommorow will be too late. It better be the first thing tommorow unless you want to see this news:

It seems the MGS4 Limited Edition has sold out at the konamistyle store.
Is there any other news in Japan about sales of this limited edition, is it being offered anywhere else for pre-order in Japan? Also does anyone know how many of these units will be made.

I'm thinking of importing one! (Just because I want to!)

http://www.konamistyle.jp/sp/mgs/mgs4/

 

[~Kinggi~]

You know what the next bit of great news is going to be, that the saga dvd is actually the bonus blu ray that comes in the limited edition, therefore making the only real reason to get it is for the graphic novels and soundtrack cd. In other words, a total ripoff. That is, if the saga disc is actually the bonus disc. If thats the case im canceling the preorder. Oh, and gamestop isnt gonna charge my card until the game ships right?

Yes. They won't.

 

[dralla]

You know what's somewhat strange about this situation? MGS2 SPOILERS AHEAD!

Spoiler

The website isn't listing the Saga DVD on the LE, so it's forcing people to pre-order both versions or pre-order from multiple stores. This is strangely similar to the S3 plan in MGS2, about filtering out certain information to manipulate free will. The Patriots plan is working, we all are pawns.

Mind Blown.

 

[neojubei]

All this confusion, I wish I could just order on amazon.com and be done with it. But dammit I must have that artbook.

 

[Fletcher]

Okay. So what's the score? I'm heading out in about an hour and need to know which one to pre-order. I want the Saga dvd and the Beta code. Regular or limited?

Pre-order both, you can always cancel later.

 

[careksims]

*Just shakes his head* You people are getting so paranoid and confusing!

At least at my GS. LE or Standard, you're still gonna' get the Saga V2 disc. I will not trust the online site.

 

[Guled]

If I order this from gamestop.com, will I get charged when the game ships, or right now? Also, how long will it take for them to ship to Toronto? And lastly, which is better to order from, gamestop.com or ebgames.com

eb and gamestop are the same thing now. They just kept the different names as to not lose customers who didnt know about the other.

 

[GalacticAE]

Is it still possible for the Saga DVD to be in stores this Friday as rumored?

 

[Kagari]

Is it still possible for the Saga DVD to be in stores this Friday as rumored?

I will check tomorrow.

1. Gamestop.com since it says "artbook exclusive to gamestop customers". Yes, gamestop and EB is the same thing but i don't wanna take the risk.

2. You won't be charged until it's shipped

3. 3 to 5 business days.

Alright thanks. So does this mean I won't get it until the Saterday or Money after it comes out?

 

[GalacticAE]

Yea it was rumored earlier this week. Nothing is for sure though and I'm sure Kagari will keep us informed as always.

I work at a Gamestop as well but I'm in the middle of a management change so I've most likely been let go (I don't get any more hours).

 

[Big-E]

Alright thanks. So does this mean I won't get it until the Saterday or Money after it comes out?

I have ordered stuff from them in the past and was able to get stuff sent to Vancouver either the next day or a couple of days after. I have never done a preorder before so I don't know how long they will take. Would they ship the game out before the release date if they have them in stock so they customers get it on the day of?

 

[∀ Narayan]

So, are we getting something similar to this? PS3 bundle with the limited edition of Metal Gear Solid 4?

Because, that's what I want to order.

If we aren't, I'll just go ahead and pre-order the LE.

 

[alr1ght]

no, the PS3 is just a 80GB + Reg. MGS4. Although it may have changed, as the pictures have been removed from sony's press site.

here's the PR

To coincide with the much-anticipated North American launch of Metal Gear Solid®4: Guns of the Patriots in late Q2 2008, SCEA will introduce a PS3 bundle, which will include an 80GB PS3, the upcoming blockbuster Metal Gear Solid®4: Guns of the Patriots and a DUALSHOCK 3 wireless controller for $499 (MSRP).

I believe most will end up with two copies of MGS4.

 

[Ken Masters]

The Gamestop by ne said the LE edition was not in their system, and that if it was in any GS system they would know because they all use the same data


said he didn't have a sku for it

 

[LiquidMetal14]

It's crazy how much unrest there is about this LE. I hope this game sells millions in the US with this kind of uproar. Anyways, I trust my small little town GS can get me the goods. I am one of the first to pre-order the LE.

 

[Baby Milo]

oooh im gonna be pissed if i dont get the beta and dvd for ordering the LE

Oh that would be really fucking shitty of them cause i ordered from ebgames and they have that artbook bonus for preorder but mention the gamestop thing.
