This is a troll fest.

Konami's servers control all of Konami's data.

I'm confused. Not trolling! Just confused. Whenever I try to download the update for the beta, it forces me to sign into PSN. Why would it do that if this is all using Konami's infrastructure? And then, of course, when PSN inexplicably kicks me out... the update download from Konami fails.

I can't understand how this has nothing to do with PSN. I can surf without being signed into PSN... so surely I should be able to download MGO updates too? I mean... if it's using Konami's infrastructure. Unless I'm completely wrong and seeing things. Someone please edumacate me!

Again, Konami is the evil one here. Neither MS nor Sony.

(And no, there's no "MS wrote the whole thing and you just plug it in", you're very naive aren't you?")

Ever played Final Fantasy XI on the Xbox 360 before? That's what it would be like. Yes, it sucks but I'm sure Konami have their reasons for doing this.

Actually, most of that is free with a Live Silver account now that I think about it.

I am actually happy about this. I have a biochem midterm on wednesday and this would have made me fail it. Good job Konami... good job.

I guess you had some trouble reading my post. I never said it was a great game. I said those of us lucky enough to get into beta have a chance to play what might be a great game before it's released. That is a perk, not a burden. If you don't want to help them and find some bugs then don't waste their time either.

Beta is beta, it has no limit to what is done, not working or needed additions. We have no idea what server problems they are having. From getting their side to work with Sony's, all the back door beta key getters or any other problem for their first attempt at online play.

That is why they did a beta for MGO and not MGS4.

Feel free to make some more assumptions and petty insults though.

People like YOU are still playing Hellgate: London while having their heads stuck in the sand.

Beta is all about being nearly complete. Just a few minor tweaks and adjustments. The launch is less than six weeks away and they can't even roll out a straight forward registration process.

It's like they're stuck in the 1990s.

There are definitely things that can and should be overlooked during a Beta. Turning the registration process into a complete clusterfuck and blowing the launch of their Beta by a week...that's not something to be overlooked. That's a red fuckin' flag.

Being in Beta means the soup is almost done cooking and is ready to be served. Just a few seasonings that need to be added or maybe a vegetable here or there.

It's not supposed to be...

"Uh...Konami? There's a severed cat head in my soup."

and I suppose your brilliant response is;

"Relax. QQ nub-sauce. It's fine. It's Beta."

Or perhaps that's exactly why they are doing a beta. People complaining about beta not working need to get in touch with reality, that's the goal. Fix it.

If you don't like it, don't play the beta. They work out the problems now so when you do pay for their product there are few to none.

Complaining about your chance to play what could be an excellent game for free and early is pretty petty.

What a tremendous waste of time.

This nonsense coming out only four days away from GTA IV coming out assures that I'll not be participating in the Beta on principle alone.

Kojima and Konami need to stick to the single player experience.

The worst part really is getting the Konami ID set up...

and uh, it was five dollars. surely the shitty dvd was worth that?

i thought it was open in europe anyway...

I'm in the Beta. I'm in the US. I've paid nothing to get the Beta key. STFU.

Heck if it bugs you so much, you could also you know, cancel your preorder, and the store gives you your 5 bucks back.

Also this is a beta test. The whole point is test the game before release. This is NOT some exclusive demo, this is a beta. It's meant to flesh out these types of problems. It sucks for those wanting to get in, but at the same time it's good cause it's doing exactly what a beta is intended for, and thats to find the bugs.

My PS3 is broken this week, and it normally takes 2-3 weeks for the repair itself.

then it took another 2 days to get the update...then I find out I need to get the Konami ID.

It took 3 days for the website to start working and I finally get it done and I think im home free...

I enter my info into the game and im presented with a connection error only to find the beta has been delayed till friday.

Honestly this is by far the most botched beta I have ever been a part of.

Yes yes i know, its just a beta but they have so utterly failed its not even funny. I always expect brief hiccups, maybe some slow loading or connection issues but this is crazy. everything that could break has and we havent even hit gameplay yet!

what happens when I actually get into the game and get in a match? Will my ps3 explode? Will my ps3 send a surge through the hdmi cable and explode my tv?

My buying this game depends 100% on this beta. I've never been a MGS fan but im always willing to give it a try. Lets get the act together Konami.

no peers to download from and server download doesn't work...

hopefully it gets fixed the time beta starts....

I really hope Konami gets all of this sorted out by June and that these problem are all just related to the beta and not the final product.

@Gon: Same here. It was a let down. But it's a beta, so I won't call Konami any names. Just, that, they're disappointing at the moment.

This is great and bad. I'm happy that i might be able to play on Friday but at the same time if they push it back I'm going to be very mad. I just wish they added an extra week above the already two weeks.

If this happens during the launch of MGS4 i'm going to be a mad person. I'll have mGS4 to back track on but still i want to get my game on online with other people.
