PS3 Poll Police: Picking up MGS4 upon its release?

by Nick Doerr { Jun 8th 2008 at 9:00PM }

It's another poll! The Poll Police are asking a pretty obvious one this week, as the PS3 faces its most ambitious software release so far (arguably). Metal Gear Solid 4 hits the streets on June 12, with some lucky souls getting copies early somehow, and we want to know if you're going out there to get it when the time comes.

Getting MGS4 as soon as it releases?
	Yep -- gonna be there at midnight.
	Yeah, I'll pick it up sometime that day.
	Maybe; depends on gas prices or whatever.
	Nah, but I'll pick it up when I see it.
	Nope, not my type of game.
	My opinion is different than these. Very different.

We know we'll be out there for the midnight release -- even if there isn't one, we'll still sit outside our local gaming store and claw pitifully at the door until we're either chased away with a broom or given a plate of hot cereal and welcomed inside. Although, it's over 100 degrees where we are, so hot cereal could be replaced with "breakfast ice cream". It exists, surely. Last week's poll results are up next, so why not take a look at those as well?

Another split! Seems about half of you feel the rumors regarding firmware 2.40 are credible and will probably turn out true whereas another estimated half of you feel they're simply rumors that may or may not be true. Not many of you thought they were complete poppycock, which we'll take as a good sign. It's anyone's guess, as always, but one thing's for sure: we'll know when the update comes. Thanks for voting!

Pre-order ... and two days off. I'll pick it up that day .. but I'm not waiting at midnight, sorry.

Overnight delivery :)

Why wasn't there a choice for "I'll pick up MGS4 when the eventual director's cut version is released"?

The_Punisher @ Jun 8th 2008 10:02PM

cuz you're not funny.

Midnight lanuch FTW

Noshino @ Jun 8th 2008 10:04PM

parkd @ Jun 9th 2008 9:15PM

What about the choice: I'll get it as soon as I beat Metal Gear 1, 2, and 3. Got the Collection on the PS2. Trying to beat it. I'm on number 1. T_T

HarryPS3 @ Jun 8th 2008 10:05PM

Same here, and free overnight shipping promo code from gamestop, which helped the LE rock my wallet only slightly.

ZombieOrgasm @ Jun 8th 2008 10:11PM

I wish. But got bills to pay and with our crap economy its going to be awhile.

Managua_Green @ Jun 8th 2008 10:30PM

Yeah boy, should be good.

Mykal Bloom @ Jun 8th 2008 10:32PM

I'll be picking this up; Probably not on launch, though. DMC4 was my first Devil May Cry, and GTAIV was (unbelievably, I know) my first GTA, so I feel a sort of obligation to pick this up seeing as how it'll be my first MGS.

After going to my local gamestop I found out that they would be only have 4!?!?! MGS4 80 GB bundles in store for the midnight release. And after what happened on amazon last friday, I figured not to test my luck. I hit up the internet and found a pre-order for the bundle still available at Circuit City.com . They make you buy the blu-ray bluetooth remote, but I think that is more useful than the sham MGS4 bluetooth headset on gamespot.com.

StevenRafael @ Jun 8th 2008 11:10PM

There should be an option for those who already have it, or for those who are going to try and get it early. I tried today with no success, but will try again tomorrow.

SteWieH @ Jun 8th 2008 11:13PM

haha I'll be at Wal-Mart. being that guy selling you that game :(

frankym @ Jun 8th 2008 11:29PM

I wonder what PS3 owners who have decided not to buy this game are thinking!?

SSG @ Jun 8th 2008 11:47PM

I got my friend to pre-order the game at Gamestop while I was away at college; I plan on picking it up at midnight.

proog @ Jun 9th 2008 5:18AM

I'll definitely pick it up sometime, but as of now I don't have enough money... of course I will get it eventually. It's the exclusive of the year.

The Aggie CEO @ Jun 9th 2008 7:35AM

Gamefly............

Get it the day of its release(or day after) AND I can buy it for the Used price even tho its NEW.......lol

Titty Pink @ Jun 9th 2008 10:13AM

Still too much GTA4 left, I'll have to hold off...not to mention I picked up COD4 for the first time since the GTA release this past weekend. It's still the shizzle. MGS, I'll see you in a month or so...hopefully...

gumby @ Jun 9th 2008 10:27AM

I had the first MGS game for the playstation back in the day..then I got an Xbox instead of a ps2 so didnt play any of them on that system. I for some reason can't get excited about this game. I'm also pissed that I can't get civilization until July 8th.
