Metal Gear Online beta test dated, details revealed

Posted Feb 28, 2008 at 10:47PM by QJ Staff Listed in: PS3 Tags: beta test, FAQ, Konami, Sony

Those who've been following Kojima Productions' Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots could use the nuggets of information recently posted on the official PlayStation Blog by Konami's director of public relations Michael Shelling, since many are still confused even as the Sony PlayStation 3 exclusive's June 12 release draws near.

The most important to note is Metal Gear Online's beta test, which begins April 21. Only a select few will be able to join the beta which will last two weeks, because the only way to get into the online battlefield is by acquiring the download code available in the Metal Gear Solid 4 pre-order package.

Pre-orders come in limited supply, so the number of players who can go online isn't infinite. As of now, the only way to get first dibs on MGO is through that download code from the package. Konami stated that it's is possible to provide wider beta access if promotional partners are secured, though nothing is confirmed at this time.

i need to know whether or not a gamestop preorder counts. because if it does i will go tomorrow morning and reserve that ***** right away

# Well... — The_Salms 2008-02-28 18:01

So I'm still confused. Do we have to preorder now to get the download code, or will there be a pre order package coming to stores like Gamestop in the near future?

# thats — spicyhamster 2008-02-29 04:36

exactly what i want to know

# On april 1st — Eclipze_ 2008-02-29 05:33

maybe a little bit earlier, the stores will the the demo type disk thing. Just ask the guy at the counter if they have it or when they'll have it so you can make sure you get one. I'ma ask when I go to my EBgames to see if they have it already so I can get mine.
