My copy of Metal Gear Solid 4 was dispatched early on, which means I will be getting it through the post on Wednesday.
 
MGO upscaled to 1080p, I assume that MGS4 will do the same.

I was aware of that. Technical details were posted at MGS:TUS and I cannot retrieve them at this time since the website is being updated.

Details revealed MGO Beta native resolution was lower than 720p. I sure hope MGS4 isn't that low.
 
I'd assume both will be the same, 576p if I remember right.

Still, it looks fantastic, IMO.

Yep, 576 it was. Can't remember if that was p or i. I'm expecting the game to be 720p native, though. If not, oh well; the game is still going to be incredible.
 
Well, I have incredibly strong doubts that the game will be 720p native, but we won't know for sure until it releases.

I'm still trying to find an LE guide...I want one so bad. It's an amazing guide.
 
If its 720p then I see if 1080p will make it bit better or worse,
If it it is 1080p then I'll stick with 1080p
BUT whup de doo
Its a game made for story and stealth action
Graphics is minor part of fun factor.
 
How? I thought launch day was tommorow:confused:

Some places ship out games early because of shipping time. They figure you'll get it on, or close enough, to the launch day.

Most mail order places in the States don't do it, apparently. Best Buy wont, so I have to go and pick mine up, now. Not sure if I'll go at midnight, or the following morning. One thing's for certain, I ain't waiting until Monday for mail delivery. Screw that.
 
Also, it's already June 12th in Asia, so those retailers can ship their games a day before the US retailers can.
 
I'm picking up my copy form the shop tomorrow on my lunch break, this is THE game I bought a PS3 for, so I'm looking forward to it slightly.
 
Well I'm working from home every day this week apart from one, you guessed it, I have to go into the office tomorrow. Which means (if the course finishes early) I may get to pick up a copy on the way back from work. If not I will have to wait until Friday.

Bloody people in the motor industry wanting to learn stuff.

Scaff
 
What are my chances of picking up a copy without a pre-order tomorrow? I may or may not go to the midnight launch.

Find the nearest Best Buy, walk in, buy it.


If they are properly anticipating this then it will be similar to GT4's launch. GT4 had an entire section devoted to the game. We are talking probably close to 100 copies.
 
This game is the Ultimate Console game of the year, It might be the ultimate game ever, or at least in the top 10 :)
So chances are slim for you to get the game without a pre order,
And you have almost no chances on getting the special edition copy without a pre order
 
This game is the Ultimate Console game of the year,
Exclusive to the console with the smallest install base....

And those buying their consoles for this game can basically get the game bundled in for free, with the DS3.

I mean, I know people that walked into Best Buy to get Halo 3. And while quality-wise I think that the MGS series is bounds better, the comparison in user-base numbers says that MGS4 should be easier to buy.

Now, those MGS4 bundles, on the other hand....

I also suspect the reason for the limited supply of 80GB PS3 over the last few months was because Sony has likely been building up supplies for the release of the 80GB bundle with DS3 & MGS4.
 
Ooh, the nearest BB is a town or two over. No chances at GameStop? The local one is pretty small, oh well.
With GameStop I would suggest calling first. Some of them are saying not to bother if you didn't preorder.

That's the deal with my local GS. No preorder, no midnight purchase. You gotta wait until normal business hours.

Though, you can pre-order it this afternoon, and go get it tonight. $5 dollar deposit is necessary.
 
Problems finding games on relseas day without a pre-order are rare here, a lad at work was shocked to find HMV had sold out of GTA4 and that he had to walk an extra 100 yards to the GAME store round the corner.
 
Great. Best Buy just canceled a whole bunch of midnight store openings. Better check if your store is affected. Mine was (Rancho Cucamonga).

So, I just tried to switch the store pick-up to the Montclair store, a bit closer to me, and couldn't do so. More than fed up with what I just went through the past hour trying to arrange a pick-up, I canceled my order. Why give my money to incompetent morons who make life more difficult?

Hello GameStop, the place I should've gone to in the first place.
 
Will pick it up somewhere in the afternoon.
My grandma has to go for tests in the hospital and i'm going with her to push the wheelchair.

She can walk, but it's a pretty big hospital and you can easily cover a large distance in there. And no one else was available, so my mum volunteered me :)
