Man I've been a fan of MGS for so long, but I've never got a chance to play any of the multi players until now. I really cant wait to play the beta with everyone.

Haven't gotten a new key yet. Was emailed back , saying to email the address I emailed, before, with the key I already sent. So i'll try again I guess. Don't really have any other recourse at this point.
Also, if you got your key from Gamestop, be aware that trying to get a new one from them is probably no good. Entire areas of the US/East Coast got incomplete codes, with almost no exceptions, from what I was told. You'd be better off emailing that address posted a couple pages back.
Three of my gamestops had tons of beta keys still left, so people might want to call around.
I just got a PS3, skipping the MGS4 bundle, just for the beta.
My PSN name is Brownchiclets. I'll be downloading the Beta probably today or tommorow.

My only experience with MGS online has been around 10 minutes of MGSPO. I'm really looking forward to this.
Speaking of PO, I turned it on yesterday to try and go online (since this thread was going to be a MGO/MGSPO combo thread) but I can't find the online option in the game anymore. I haven't played it in a while... did an update remove the online portion or something? Were it's servers shut down like MGS3's?
EDIT: Also, I'll add the new people to the list later, right now I'm trying to finish an essay.

Then you are not fan enough! I went out and purchased a mic and configured my shits so I could play online when MGS3:S came about.
Yeah, I hope Konami doesn't make us use this Konami ID bullshit in the final version. Hopefully it's only there right now in order for them to monitor stats on the beta.
Really, if sony's premier game for 2008 doesn't have a unified friends list with PSN, that'll be a giant embarrassment for sony. IMO, this is really sony's chance to show off what PSN can do. Everythings in place - full online game, planned DLC, full communication.
I've said it before - Sony would be wise to launch in-game XMB or Home with MGS4.

They could monitor this without codes. Home doesn't let you log in because your account won't have privleges. With the codes in the USA and such I could understand but the PAL version is shit and its taken me about 4 hours of on and off trying and I still haven't managed to get the site to work well enough to give me one.
So I just had a mini fuck yeah moment. Mind you this is day 3 of the waiting to recieve a reply from konami on my retarded 9 digit code standoff.
I was at bestbuy looking for something to spend this "sorry for buying hd-dvd stuff" 50 dollar gift card they sent me. I saw two shelves all containing MGS vol 2 dvds. I picked one up on a gamble. I opened the package in my car and saw mother fucking 12 digits fuck yess.. FUCK YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSs
Not the way I would have liked to resolve it but oh well. So I assume when they email me, if they email me, I will have two codes then?
I also got the sweet dualshock 3 to rock out some MGO with for about 5 dollars after the card.
So how has everyone updated their beta? I've still been unable to get the damn thing to download it. It's ridiculous! And then I'll have to go through getting my Konami ID, which I also hear is a pain in the buns.

I used the peer to peer option. Took somewhere in the region of 5 hours...
I've got the peer-to-peer option actually working now, but it's going so ridiculously slow. 30 KB/s. It could be going 1 MB/s, gods dammit! I guess I'll just leave it sit.

I dunno if the level of attention is just unprecedented or if they just thought maybe 50 people were gonna join up.
I doubt that it's the latter. The demo is pretty much the centrepiece of the new Playstation Store and Metal Gear Solid is a huge brand name, so they must have been prepared for sizeable numbers. Honestly, I'm not sure what could be causing it.

It seems to be on the Konami end. The website, there are websites out there run by people with less money than Konami and the thing is just collapsing as people try to get these codes and the requirement for codes is itself causing huge issues. This sucks because the longer it takes, less time to play before the beta closes.
Well, the way I look at it is they have to have some kind of idea about how many people pre-ordered MGS4 and have an idea about how many people in Euroland have gone online with their PS3s. They should have been prepared to handle twice that number but it looks like they just didn't know what to do.
Well, most beta launches and so forth go over pretty poorly. It's nothing new. They are doing a worldwide beta, I believe. The servers are probably getting overloaded with so many people trying to download and connect at the same time. Of course, they sent out only so many beta codes, so you'd think they'd be prepared for a certain amount of people. Why can't companies get this right?

I'm gonna laugh so hard if the cause of this is seriously "Wait, WHAT DO YOU MEAN PEOPLE IN EUROPE PLAY GAMES?" because it would explain so much about everything.

Some beta launches that I thought went rather smoothly:
COD4 beta over Xbox Live.
Battlefield: Bad Company over Xbox Live. (except for the whole friends list thing, which they chose to do so meh.)
Yeah, the CoD4 one went over pretty well. The Bad Company one wasn't all that smooth, though. Lots of issue trying to connect to servers, but it wasn't nearly as bad as what's going on now. Of course, none of us have actually played the MGO beta yet, as it's not even up. We're just having problems getting our ID. Perhaps things will be much better once Monday comes, and it turns out the actual beta may be a rather smooth experience.

Wait, the game isn't actually playable yet? I thought it said the 17th.

The download was available from the 17th, the actual playable period starts on Monday the 21st.

I feel so lucky. I was able to log in and create my kanomi IDs on Wed. I did the download and install then as well, but I have yet to get the update patch. I had a ton of dumb problems with the kanomi ID though as you get a kanomi ID and a MGO id and they can't be the same, and one of the passwords have to be numeric only. it was a such a pain but i'm glad i got it done early

I'm sometimes grumpy and random, feel free to overlook the strange man in the corner.
Wait, there are three IDs? PSN, Konami, and MGO? And the Konami and MGO one can't be the same?
Your PSN ID is what you're using to the connect to the network. The other 2 are Konamis piss poor attempt at a service. From what I understand, PES on PS3 also requires a code and its a one use only, tied to your machine kind of deal. I'm not sure what Konami is trying to achieve.

Frustration and rage, if my experience thus far has been indicative of what this is going to be like at release.
I still cant get a fucking Konami ID. I can get to the sign up process, but no matter what email I use it says it's already registered. Even my mothers. Yeah, right.
So I am all set up, I downloaded the patch but I cannot connect to the server yet I am guessing this is because they aren't up. Anyway my game ID is Solidwalnut and my PSN name is fanciestwalnut and I would like to be added to the list.

Is this going to be in the final game too? Why can't they just use my PSN tag like Warhawk?
The website must be hosted off one of their office computers. It's SO SLOW. I keep getting so far registering then it says the page timed out.
