see any beta or promotional codes on that LE order while it is on the standard one (back ordered tho)? it's looks to be as i always feared, the LE does not come with the saga dvd online.

 

[Wollan]

Listening to the latest Kojima report, Europe is getting the Saga vol.2 pre-order DVD as well. He wasn't sure if it would include a beta code though..

ugh, looks like it. I'll just go in-store and pre-order.

 

[Firewire]

Can anyone help me out!

I have the MGS4 LE pre-ordered here in Canada at EB Games, but they don't know anything about the beta! Does anyone know if we are getting the beta or not? Is it only with the regular copy or is it in the LE to?

 

[Deadly Monk]

Uh you realize that is stealing. Its not like they were free to manufacturer.

They are inventoried too.

lol They are not inventoried. But we have plenty of extras and thought I'd do some people a favor. MGS is not that big in this particular area so I'm not worried about running out.

if you did it at the store it wont matter if u got LE or regular. IF for some reason it does, just switch the preorder to regular, then get the SAGA dvd, then switch it back. but it shouldnt. also, maybe they just dont know anything about it, there havent been any announcements for the workers to know. it will just show up in a shipment. wait it out

I'm nervous though, I want into the beta big time. I hope someone finds something out soon!

The email said you get the DVD if you preordered either version.

 

[Firewire]

Does that apply to Canada as well? Also when does the DVD hit, and does EB notify people with pre-orders?

I don't know if it is for Canada as well. The US and CA stores are different. D:

Damn, I just have a feeling I'm going to get screwed out of the beta.

 

[-Rogue5-]

Damn, I just have a feeling I'm going to get screwed out of the beta.

Shagg_187 said that they are supposed to get it today or sometime this week (no April Foolin'.) He's in Toronto; He said he was going to check the Eaton Centre EB today. But yeah, I think it's been confirmed that we're getting it... EB clerks don't know much about anything though ("MGS4? For what system?" ugh), so even if they answered confidently, they have no idea what they're talking about.

 

[Byakuya769]

well I'm in the states and my dumb ass eb doesn't know a damn thing about this pre-order pack...

I just went into my EB to ask, did the pre order like 2 months ago. When I asked the guy was like for what system? He didn't have a clue at all about the beta or anything. I hope its ok that I have the LE pre-ordered as well.

 

[kylej]

My local EB had no idea the preorder disk even existed and didn't know when they would be getting it in. Wonderful.

 

[Splash Wave]

this is a bit OT, but has there been any confirmation yet on whether or not the PS3 bundle will come with the LE or not?

 

[alr1ght]

Just pre-ordered in-store. They didn't have any Saga discs yet though (Ohio). They will call when they get them in.

 

[Firewire]

Its the regular edition I believe.

 

[VegaShinra]

So the preorders online for the LE aren't getting the beta but the regular edition is. I'll just preorder the regular edition online and cancel it when I get the beta.


Edit- Yeah, the Saga only appears to come with the Regular edition online. I just placed my order online and will cancel it the second I get the DVD later this week or early next week.

 

[Dead Prince]

I'll have to check this weekend unless Thursday people start to get it. I can't be bothered to call them when they have no clue still. :lol

 

[sw26]

God, it's so irritating when we're the last to know about everything. Surely they should know what the hell they are doing by now?

Called 3 EBs in my area. Cana-nada!

No info! I don't understand how they can run such a thing and keep people in the dark. Theres going to be allot of pissed of people (me) if we don't get into the beta.

Have you seen the number of ebay auctions where the seller display a bunch of them in the same shot? Call me dramatic, it's just heartbreaking.

joe schmoe: "hi gamestop, got any of the MGS4 SAGA discs in?"
GS lowlife: "sorry, we don't know anything about them yet."
joe schmoe: "o ok.." *hangs up*
GS lowlife: (ebay here i come!)

this is a dramatization. please do not attempt.

Philly area I believe.

 

[Esperado]

Just preordered the LE today. It better be worth it for 85 bucks, but with 2 documentaries, I think it will be. I'm getting pretty pumped for the Online Beta, hopefully they won't hoard the MGS Saga discs.

 

[fatigues_gasolini]

Im going to the eb where i preordered to move it over to the LE. Hopefully they have something.

 

[TurtleSnatcher]

Some stores may get them tomorrow I believe.

 

[Firewire]

Let us know how it turns out please!

 

[user friendly]

Just called EB games in Canada if anyone is interested. The Oshawa Mall apparently is taking pre orders for the LE. I'm going now to check to see if the guy actually knew what he was talking about. Although he said they now have both versions of the game on their computer, so it seems legit to me.

He said they don't have the saga disc yet though.

 

[SuperSonic1305]

Damn ebayers. How the hell does shipping a DVD cost $35. These guys are taking major advantage of people.

 

[alr1ght]

i'll probably end up selling my beta code/keep the dvd as I will be getting the MGS4 bundle. Nice way to re-coup some of the cost.

 

[Adamrogo]

It's not in Toronto EB's today.

Do EB's here even know about it? Any mention of a date?

 

[witness]

WTF, I went to EB here in San Fran and they told me that they're not getting any pre order disc before release. They'll have the disc when the game comes out for those who preordered. Can't believe the manager told me that, so pissed. Hopefully they have them at the Gamestop when I go back home in may but I seriously doubt it.

 

[NeoUltima]

Does everyone else's online pre-orders say the saga DVD is backordered? Does this mean I preordered to late to get it? Or have they just not got them from konami or shipped them out yet?

I think online pre-orderers are SOL.

backordered here as well. if i can get them at my local GS this week, i'll cancel my online orders

 

[Adamrogo]

I work at one of the EB's in Toronto. We know about it, it's in our system, but the release date keeps getting pushed back. It was originally slated for March 28. It was not in today's shipment.

Your talking about the DVD with the beta key right?

It doesn't make a difference if you have the LE or regular edition pre-ordered as well, you still get the beta key?

Sorry about the questions, its just hard to find answers in the great white north!

 

[user friendly]

Just got back from EB in Ontario. Got my LE pre ordered and the guy (rather knowledgeable for a change) said to just try calling back for the SAGA dvd (aka beta key).

 

[Ken Masters]

So the beta key is also a DVD with extras on it?

[jvalioli]

The beta key is written on the DVD insert, I believe.

 

[AmericanNinja]

Does any one know if I pre-order from Gamestop.com will I get the DVD and beta code? It says the DVD will ship with the game and since the DVD has the beta code in it it will be too late for the beta lol
