Ja I'm going to install the whole 9gigs. And going to try to platinum this game it will be tough though. If only Konami patched the online so the psn servers were used instead of Konami and it was tied to our psn username I would be playing this game online a lot more. At least we got this great, well needed patch and I say thank you Konami. Next up Folklore and Heavenly Sword and RFOM trophy patch to name some. Hopefully.
I have 20GB left, so I'm going with full install, will start over as my save is tied to an account I don't use anymore (other PS3), trophies are the prefect excuse to replay the game :D
My 750gb can handle it... and if not, I'll just delete DC Universe. Never play it anyway. Kojima tweeted the 6th and it should be the 6th in Japan right now. Wonder when NA will be. Hopefully the 6th for us too.
The patch is live now in the US. I just downloaded it at 517MB. Installation of all acts is about 16 minutes. Between this and Sleeping Dogs I am going to be busy for a while.
I'm confused though, I haven't played MGS4 for a while, so this muight be with other patches but why does it say 9GB? Might be just cause it's Japan region, but the box says 4-5GB
The f's up with the random disagree? I thought the US/NA patch would be later, but since it's live in EU now, I'm hoping this is live in the US by the time I get home from work tomorrow
You have to start an entire new save.You'll not be able to unlock trophies on your old game save. Also, i don't believe you absolutely have to delete your old save data but i'm deleting mine just so there won't be any problems that may occur with the trophies.
This install size is pretty big but considering that we only have to install the game once instead of 3-4 times it's acceptable.
I thought the August 6th date was the release date for the Japanese patch but considering that it already came out does that mean the 6th is the date for the NA patch?
Oh on a side note, you will need to get the dreaded Big Boss emblem in order to get the plat since 2 trophies are tied to that emblem (the one where you get all the songs and the one where you get all the guns).
I really wish since they're patching this to add trophies that they re open the mgo servers for a lil while. I can't be the only one feeling a little nostalgic and wanting to play some TSNE and SNE. And with this patch it'll bring back some traffic to the game
I have the Japanese version of the game and I can confirm that the patch is indeed Live. I installed it and the smoothness in gameplay (frames per second) has increased drastically when compared to the original release.
They removed the Metal Gear Online option from the menu and added an Install option.
wow, finally, thought this was never gonna happen... but makes me actually wanna play more then an hour of it now... but im still not sure if i want another ps3...
Oh, my! How can I contain all this Metal Gear? Currently playin' MGSHD (started with Sons of Liberty, my personal favorite) MGS4 trophy patch (yep, I'm jumping on that also) MG;R soon to come (Hey, it's not Kojimas' work, but I still plan to play it) & all of this is coming just before any mention of a MGS5, My prediction. I'm even tempted to get a copy of MGS1, just so I can run through them in sequential order.
Wow! The PS3 has just been officially housed by Konami & Kojima!
Perhaps I will give it another go. MGS 1&2 are among my all-time favorite games, but I just could not get through MGS4. The cut-scenes are just ridiculous. Not too mention pretentious and convoluted.

Still shouldn't be too much of an issue to PS3's with 500GB HDDs and better, but how many PS3 owner installed those?
Also the language on the screen is Korean and not Japanese. Meaning that the patch might be live in Korea, and still not up in Japan.
It's only 498 MB

EDIT: NVM you answered it thanks
Do you people think a 9GB install, 4GB extra and never having to do it again, is bad?
Or do you think the patch is 9GB and didn't read the article?
At least that's what i thought after reading your comment before reading the article.
It depends on the game region, if your game's region hasn't been made available yet, you won't have the patch yet.
damn it!
i miss it so!

Yeayyy to the trophies finally!! :D
pls information
Hidden trophies alone: 15
probably just placebo-effect
Plus I downloaded 11GB form the PSN yesterday in like an hour? So PSN servers are hardly bad.
