    After downloading the beta you have to download a huge update.... which takes abot 5 times as long. Does anyone know if there is a tutorial or a lan mode or any way to try out the controls before the 21.?

    oh snap, t he EU store is updated.

     

    @ encryptioncsta5, maybe some of these Americans actually paid for the pre-order, and do not need to download from the EU store.  No need to call names here.

    MGO Beta and Broken Mirror, plus Lair pack!

    On top of that there's a GTA trailer!

    This must be the best update to the store for EU user ever, even though it's small and a few things have been available for a few days.

    If you want 2 get it in the (US) you have 2 pre order it they give u a DVD and Ticket with  a code that lets u going in and download it     Ticket comes inside the DVD  and its has a 12 digit code u need 2 put on your account

    @stephen356

     The beta was up yesterday for the US. I completed both the beta and the update last night. Then went back to playing GT5P.

    @encryptioncsta

    I put down full for MGS4. I already DLed the beta. I am sarry if that makes you mad. I couldn't control where I was born. What sex or what race I am. I am sorry for that to. Oh and my intelligence.... I am trying to work on getting it better. I am sorry for being a horrible orrible american, since it seems to cause you such personal anguish.

    Does the europe get it without a beta code? Or do you need it to play it?

    • 11:00am BST - April 17th, 2008

    @ encryptioncsta:  You spew hate at Americans for the faults of SCEE.  Now, when you get something really good in an update, you accuse "stupid Americans" of slowing it down.  It couldn't possibly be everyone trying to get in the Beta?

    I don't think it's Americans' fault, we're all out eating McDonalds and getting fat, remember?  I guess it's going to be Americans' fault when Home downloads slow too, and it will have nothing to do with the other 3 million people trying to get it.

    Get over yourself you stereotypical prick.

    ---

    @leifileifission: It's free to all of Europe.

    Good for Europe.  I probably wouldn't have downloaded it even if it was in the US.

    Why do Europeans always blame Americans for everything, don't you all have your own problems, I mean come on couldn't  you gather that the MGS Online Beta was gonna be a worldwide beta test, only to those who reserved the game.  I would just like to say good luck to ME. Oh and the fact that its available to all of Europe and your still blaming the American.  Like previously stated:  Get Over Yourself You Self-Rightous Prick.

    Ya... I'm american and I'M PROUD! Since ur European... why don't you go die Nazi?!?

    • 6:40pm BST - April 17th, 2008

    psn id: gingo..... arrrrrrrrrrggggggghhhhh that dam update after you download keeps saying network errors hopefully will be better with less traffic @ Billy_Bob_Joe.... the only country in europe that had any ties with nazis was germany ( well italy a bit but i'll stick to basics ) and most germans are disgusted at their history so there was no need to be petty and carry on from a ridiculous comment in the first place

    • 7:47pm BST - April 17th, 2008

    Yes get it right Americans aren't stupid their arrogant and think the whole world evolves around them. I even heard one of them telling a european speaking his own language the other day to speak American, what a joke.

  33. Gomersoul | Gomersoul

    • 7:52pm BST - April 17th, 2008

    this is all a bit intense. encryptionista was wrong to say that but two wrongs don't make a right. chill out

    • 8:25pm BST - April 17th, 2008

    My Fav is how some of the Euro's always complain that the american store is better and we have more. But they get some of the cooler stuff first like GT5, and the whole SCEE region gets to play the metal gear online beta for free if they want. Where as we only get to play it if we pre-ordered the game. I will say the new store and how it was set up sucks for europe, but this will be fixed in time. However, please don't complain who gets what first or cry that we can try to download it from a EU store. Which sure this can be true but people are being kicked off the network they downloaded from for doing that. It has happened to alot of people downloading from the Japan store. I saw it on G4 tv.

    Also I know alot of Americans are ignorant, I am sorry for all the ignorant people. I like how a few post above this one xDashx said that some guy told a Euro to speak American. If that isn't ignorant I don't no what is. Also it is just rude, like people should only be allowed to speak English on here. What are we a bunch of closed minded baffons

    All I was saying with my first paragraph is be happy with what you got. Each region has its own benefits

    @ Billy_Bob_Joe: He's British man, and you aren't helping the situation by stooping to his level.  You are furthering the stereotype of ignorant Americans and embarrasing yourself.  I'm ashamed you could be so stupid to stereotype Europeans as Nazis.

    ---

    @ xDASHx: I find that hard to believe since "American" isn't a language.  You can't honestly judge a whole country by a few people.  Do you judge books by the first 2 or 3 paragraphs?  Or even by the cover?

    I'm FAR from saying Americans aren't arrogant, because most of them are.  Most are just too ignorant to know what's going on and believe everything the news feeds them.  I just hate to be stereotyped in with them when I find myself to be one of the intelligent and respectable Americans.

    Those were his exact words infernoreaper "speak American" followed by a few racial taunts and my experience of Americans, yes nearly every single one of them so far has been the same, rude arrogant individuals. You may not be but if thats the case then you are the exception.

  37. InfernoReaper | GrimDarkling

    • 3:06am BST - April 18th, 2008

    @ xDASHx: I apologize then.  I'm just used to everyone saying "speak English" to the illegal immigrants that I had forgotten about the population with terrible grammar.  The racist taunts don't surprise me though with how ignorant our country has become.  If I could apologize for my country, I would.

    I am hard-pressed however, to find my sympathy when our fellow PSU commentor encryptioncsta calls Americans fat pigs who cram McDonalds down our throats.  I'm not personally offended by it because I'm not fat and I don't cram fast food down my throat.  I just hate the stereotyping.  It's hard to watch as nearly every country sees the worst in us and treats to decent Americans the same as the, well, dumbfvck Americans.
