[PS3] Cooking Guide: Can't Decide What To Eat? PROTIP: THIS IS THE MGS4 THREAD

Probably still is mapped to R2 and they just didn't list it. According to IGN's Q&A the controls can be customised and we still don't know what the D-Pad does or L3 and R3.

Here's a nice find, MGS4 music! The Launch Timer for the game actually has 4 short music pieces in it. Two pieces are from the E3 2006 trailer and are identified as the game's the love theme (between Snake and Naomi?), which some might have known already through the Smash Bros soundtrack. The other two pieces are new, and they're sounding really good. Ahhh, still disappointed that they've yet to present the new mix of the MGS theme.

BTW, any chance someone could rip the music from the Timer (look for BGM under the Menu)?

Yesterday the artwork for the PAL and US boxart was revealed via play3.de and Amazon.

Europe


North America


US MGS4 PS3 Bundle


Japan


I really dig the US art given the worst case scenario was a CG cover akin to something like MGS3 but this one is classy and catches the eye. Likewise with the Japanese cover given it's some nice Shinkawa art and would sit well with my other MGS titles given the running image on all covers.

Metal Gear Saga DVDs are now at all, if not most, GameStops. I picked mine up today and its nice to have all the trailers released thus far in high quality especially the TGS' 06 one.

I saw the DVD last night and I like how they chronicled the series thus far. I was kinda afraid it would end up being the Xenosaga DVD -- just a bunch of cutscenes glued together.

Wow. Those covers whack as hell.

Of course the original MGS had the best boxart.

::whitemode::

I think the EU and/or JP is best IMO since the generic US cover looks well....generic...

Also about the saga DVDs, I preordered the LE, am I entitled to this or do I have to do something else?

In store or online? If its in store then yeah you can go in and pick it up now but online is a whole other headache with GameStop supposebly emailing the beta codes and shipping the Saga DVD when the game is released or some other BS.

Likewise Canada is getting in the Saga DVD and should start getting it next week.

The beta code comes inside the DVD as a paper insert, so if they ship the saga dvd on the day of release, then you've pretty much got no chance of getting on the beta.

Right, which is why GameStop is saying that for regular or LE orders online they'll be emailing customers the beta code so they can still get into the beta and then you'll receive the Saga DVD when the game ships June 12th. Kinda pointless given the content on the Saga DVD is decent and its nice to have all the trailers but the beta code is the important part and really who's going to bother with the DVD when the game is released?

i hope europe gets something spiffy as well =\

Don't hold your breath, this is Europe we're talking about.

ugh, I hate the hole-in-the-wall location here as for the guy says they'll be in tomorrow

I dont happen to have a PSTriple, so if anyone wants the beta code I guess we can work something out.

yeah i know, still i won't preorder till end of may u never know if they're gonna release something cool

Put down $10 on the LE today, and I was pleasantly surprised when the nerd at the counter handed me some kind of MGS DVD. Is this thing even worth watching.

At least the cover is cool.

I just got a call a few hours ago about picking up the mgs dvd since i reserved it along with the online beta. Is the dvd free or do they want more money's at the pick up ~_~
they also told me about the LE edition with the mettallic case which I don't feel like I'm going to pick up

When was the last time you had to fork over more money for a preorder bonus? Have you ever done this sort of thing before?

No I usually get games at release date.
Games I usually preorder don't come with bonuses. Not all of them do :/

Fair enough, I guess.

The point of preorder bonuses is that they do NOT cost more. Limited Editions and their extra content might, but the PO bonus itself is a freebee.
