Metal Gear Online Tournament Hits Comic-Con, Kojima Signs Stuff

Konami and Major League Gaming have teamed up to host a Metal Gear Online Tournament at this year's Comic-Con in San Diego. Prizes for the tournament include a PS3 bundle and game bundles as well as some shirts, gift cards and such. You can register for the tourney all day today and a chunk of tomorrow, but they only have a set number slots to fill, so if you're interested get to it. The tournament itself will kick off Friday at 12:30 p.m. and wrap up Saturday night. More importantly Hideo Kojima will be around Friday at the booth from 10 a.m. to noon to autograph things.
