We'll be giving away games, snacks (and if we're allowed) access to the secret VIP room where Kojima awaits. Just keep a sharp eye, and we'll see you later tonight! (We'll be on scene after 10PM.)

ClockWyze @ Jun 11th 2008 12:53PM
I don't know if I'll make it I live in Brooklyn and I might get this game earlier today Even if i don't, I don't want to have to come to Manhattan Even tho I'd like to meet Kojima.....
flynn110 @ Jun 11th 2008 1:35PM
hey i live in bk too where are you getting your copy early if you don't mind me asking?
Popfrogs @ Jun 11th 2008 12:44PM
Ryan Payton's SF suprise? A bonus cutscene where Snake calls Andrew Yoon on the CODEC to inform him that he's a douchebag. ;)
reson8er @ Jun 11th 2008 12:48PM
First: LMAO at the secret code :)
Second(and more importantly): I have a question.
According to the post on PS Blog
"You should definitely arrive early. You will be able to purchase a standard edition version of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots at the events."
So... does this mean I will have to buy the standard edition only?
I already have a pre-order at Gamestop elsewhere (only $10) but its for the limited edition.
I would LOVE to come to the signing, but if they are only selling the standard edition, I would rather pick it up at Gamestop.
Help Andrew!
Andrew Yoon @ Jun 11th 2008 12:54PM
The special editions are ONLY at Gamestop, unfortunately. But for those that can't make it tonight, there is ANOTHER opportunity to get your copy signed tomorrow:

Hey thanks much for clarifying.
I'm a bit bummed that I won't be able to meet you guys and Kojima (at least tonight), but theres no way I'd buy 2 copies of the game.
Anyway, have a great time tonight, take lots of photos, and thanks again.
**PS: I am 90% sure I saw Hideo Kojima on the subway this morning. The guy looked EXACTLY like him, wore the same style glasses and dressed like Kojima might. I dunno though, I can't be 100% sure since I had'nt had my coffee yet lol.
ClockWyze @ Jun 11th 2008 1:08PM
Does the limited edition come with a strategy guide? I read that somewhere...O lol @ Andrew Yoon At least u can poke fun at yourself.
BTW My snake only infiltrates when he's solid.
reson8er @ Jun 11th 2008 1:22PM
The LE does NOT come with the guide. Speaking of the guide, there is a standard version as well as a Limited Edition (lol).
Savemejebuxs @ Jun 11th 2008 2:16PM
If you buy the game at Circuit City, you get the free stratergy guide.
BlackFreefall @ Jun 11th 2008 2:26PM
If you purchase the game at Circuit City, you get the stratergy guide for free.
oriel @ Jun 11th 2008 1:04PM
YO ... I'LL BE THERE ... AND HOW WOULD I KNOW HOW THEY LOOK LIKE ?
lorddshadow @ Jun 11th 2008 1:12PM
i'm assuming they're the guys walking around giving swag and food away
ClockWyze @ Jun 11th 2008 2:09PM
@ flynn110 I live in the Brownsville area in Bk. Near Brownsville houses. I don't know the name of the store tho I'm going there when i get off of work from Manhattan I'll b there around 5pm.
Aly Hawana @ Jun 11th 2008 1:59PM
Dude. Once I'm out of work... I am SO there. I'll be wearing an MGS4 shirt! REPRESENT!! Haha!
ANDREW IS A X3F DOUCHEBAG!
nickgenova @ Jun 11th 2008 2:28PM
i'm in line already! across from fridays. under a camera store. andrew is an x3f douchebag!
ClockWyze @ Jun 11th 2008 2:30PM
thanx Blackfreefall I knew I read about that somewhere. I wonder if i should get the strategy guide for this game. I actually like playing the game without the help of a strategy guide but i'm so metal gear hyped...
crises @ Jun 11th 2008 3:05PM
wow, all you guys do is bash the 360 on this site. well guess what? MGS isnt gonna be the "phenomenon" all you guys think it is. it'll only sell like 4 million copies too. not gonna be that big, so get over it.
anthonyjh @ Jun 11th 2008 3:13PM
Hahaha! Yes, because quality denotes quality. I totally agree. Britney Spears was the finest singer of all time, just like Halo was the greatest game of all time.
Seriously though, your bitter is showing and it doesn't look good on you.
reson8er @ Jun 11th 2008 3:17PM
Awww, sounds like someone is upset they won't be playing the EPIC that is MGS4.
Go to theMGS4 website, you can play some flash minigames there.

anthonyjh @ Jun 11th 2008 3:32PM
Better make that *quantity.
ill trooper @ Jun 11th 2008 9:48PM
I only need to enjoy it once, not 5-6 millions times... So huge sales don't really affect my enjoyment.
Way to make up your own bitchy little assertion to start a troll sesh, though. Little clown.
wocyob @ Jun 11th 2008 3:31PM
andrew my name is andrew also and ill be there at 10pm also this is pretty leet of ps3fanboy to do this cant wait for tonight
crises @ Jun 11th 2008 3:44PM

basil ghazi @ Jun 11th 2008 5:26PM
SORRY DUDE BUT U & YOUR SORRY BACK PART FRIENDS OF YOURS ARE THE ONE WHO ALWAYS COME OVER HERE & TALK CRAP OF THE OTHER SYSTEM !!KEEP YOUR TOYBOX 360 & STAY WHERE U BELONG!!!!!!!!!
Ishimaru @ Jun 11th 2008 5:18PM
Bitter of what? A half-bit FPS with 0 story? Meh, I'd rather go watch Postal, than play Halo.
Michael K. @ Jun 11th 2008 4:01PM
been here since 11am
Lucas @ Jun 11th 2008 5:00PM
How's the line? I probably won't get there till much later. I'm wondering if it's still worth it at this point. (I already paid for a Limited Edition at GameStop)
Christopher @ Jun 11th 2008 5:26PM
Fuck yeah Ill be there. Im arriving also after 10pm. See you guys in line!
Fuck you andrew.. you starving bastard.
drinkalot @ Jun 11th 2008 4:59PM

Damned Math Test.
And I live in Staten Island so.
Anyway not too much of a loss because I never even played the MGS series.
I know shame on me.
James @ Jun 11th 2008 7:31PM
You'll only be 20 blocks from my apartment. Care to deliver some swag for me? My doorman can sign for it if need be :)
adolson @ Jun 11th 2008 8:06PM

Lucas @ Jun 11th 2008 9:20PM
