Being in afghanistan sucks.

When is the US date for this?

Post-patch saves are probably locked due to trophies.

Waiting for full install size.

Can't wait to have an excuse to play through that game again. It has the goofiest story ever, but god I love the game.
Pop in that HD Collection!
I'm guessing that the full install will come out to 10-12GB or so, judging by the size of each individual chapter's install file. That is, of course, unless the patch enables some kind of data compression to bring the size of the full install down.
They don't necessarily have to be locked, but they will definitely be signed in a way where the game recognizes that they can have trophies earned over progress, versus the vanilla saves which obviously won't.

Thats it? Will stay permanently on my hdd.
Surprisingly smaller than I was expecting!
I wonder if the patch improved any of the normal load times at all.

....only 9?... why was the game on a dual layer bluray? That would mean it was more than 25gigs of data. Were they really able to stream a lot of that or what?
Also.. 9gigs with 16 minute install compared to the 8.5 (or so) gigs for GT5 that took over 1 hour? Hmm.

About what I expected. You take the initial 5GB install and then add ~1GB for chapters 2-5. The people that thought they'd install the entire disc to HDD were being ridiculous.
Konami Europe won't get us this patch till 2013, will they?
Not until Valkyria Chronicles gets a trophy patch.
MGS4 has a lot of audio, as well as about an hour's worth of HD FMV with barely noticeable compression. Not hard to see why it took up a dual layer disc when you consider those.

Wow, that's way less than I thought it would be. Got plenty of space for that.
Still need to re finish mgs3 and peace walker before I touch mgs4.

You are in afghanistan?! Are you are a soldier stationed there or something like that?

You realise that the original MGS4 release only had a 5GB install with small installs between each chapter, right? Why on earth would they install the full ~40GB to the HDD when they've already got it working with smaller ones?

Makes me wonder why they did act installs in the first place. Probably because most people didn't have huge hdds like they do now?

I always thought the 7.1 uncompressed audio is what required the installs? You know.. cutscenes and area specific sounds.
MGS4's audio is SOOO good.

Trophy's and only 9 gig install to avoid all in game installs? I may finally rebuy this and play through.

2 DVD 360 version confirmed.
Sony had a 5gb install limit rule back than, they ditched it after the release of MGS4.

Because Sony restricted installs to 5GB. So they got around it by installing the initial 5GB (including chapter 1) at first, then before each new chapter, they'd delete the previous chapter and install the new one. They've since upped the max install size (probably to 10GB or something).

Assumption, then, is it'll be out tomorrow in Europe/US. Maybe even midnight CET/11pm BST tonight for Europe? (doubtful, though)
