I am a US resident, but I would have to agree with you. I have many friends in the UK who are well informed die hard gamers and it doesn't make business sense to me to exclude them.

Microsoft did the same thing with Crackdown I believe. I don't see anything wrong in it. It's really up to you, if you don't like it you can just wait for the full game to arrive.

Not really the same ... you had to buy a $60 game to play the halo beta. All you have to do to get in on this is pre-order the game you're gonna buy anyway.

I'm in America and I'm happy. Can't you guys in Europe just make a U.S. PSN account and get in that way?

This better come to UK (and everyone else for that matter) also!

MGS is MASSIVE everywhere, not just in the bloody US.

It's actually for North America - not just the US. So, for now, Canadians can come along too.

Dunno about Mexico, no one ever counts them as NA.

I love the idea of the online beta but I don't want to preorder the game to guarantee access. This game is going to sell like crazy anyway. Why not make it free?

Or maybe not everyone reads so deeply into things on a video game board.

As Kain81 said, this is a US article about the US version. It doesn't discuss the EU version so do everyone a favour and take a chill pill.

That wasn't Sony's choice. Konami is the developer, so blame them.

where it's pre-ordered from? I was gonna go with Amazon, as I usually get the fastest delivery from them, but I'd like to know whether or not it's only through certain outlets.

Yes but that £40 game was Crackdown which I must say it one of the funnest games I've played on my 360 and in my life, this is kinda crappy because you don't get a possibly a great game with a beta if you looked at it this way. Im gonna wait until MGS4 comes out, will MGS:O come with MGS4 on the same disk?

When I know for sure where to pre-order in order to get this "guaranteed" access. I would guess that the promotion would be going on at Gamestop but I want to be sure before I put my money down.

Fine. Change the title from the original. You dont have to pay anymore than you would if you're getting the game anyway!

Dont take this as Sony fault but EU fault. EU gets EVERYTHING late which I dont think its just a coincidence. I think it takes longer time for things to get certified there then the US/Japan and causes more problems . Most likely MGS will come out in June. To probably account for EU they have to prob push it back at least a couple of weeks giving less time for beta and beta are usually for the devs to find glitches and things to change before game release so they need as much time they can get.
