    ...I... what?

    I just tried to register for my Konami and Game ID. I can't really access the registration page on my computer, but it did it smoothly on my PS3. Anyways, I entered all the million different info it wanted, and it says my fucking e-mail address and and Konami ID (which I really, really, really, really, really, 100% doubt) have already been registered. What the fuck? This is my first time trying to register and it tells me my e-mail address is already registered? This makes no sense.

    Fuck you, Konami. Really, fuck you. This is fucking ridiculous.

    I love all the people getting bitchy in here like it's the first tough beta experience they have had. I really didn't give a shit about this and I managed to sign up AND get a beta key within an hour of trying.

    I guess there is a reason they set the download to the 17th, while not letting it be playable until the 21rst - to give them time to work out the issues while it really doesn't matter. If people still have problems after the 21rst, then that will be a problem, but for now, oh well.

    In any event, add me to the list as well, as I have this and am planning on playing. I should go sign up for the Warhawk list as well.

    I have never had a printed key be wrong or flat out incomplete. I've never had to have three logins for a single game. So sorry that I find Konami incompetent and ill prepared.

    um, i'm pretty sure you wouldn't have to buy any.

    edit: yep, from the warhawk post:

    " April 16th update: We're still doing Vanilla PA night at 9 EST on the 17th, don't think that because we forgot the expansion hits the same day ANY of you fuckers are getting out of PA night. =)"

    So, since it's vanilla, it doesn't require anything more than base warhawk for you to play on thursdays, or probably with them. check out the warhawk main post, and send a PSN message to the people who are playing now.

    I had this happen to me as well. I had a couple other errors so I fixed those and left my email the same. It accepted on the second try so I would say just keep trying.

    I left it on last night to download, only just started trying. I'm wondering if these codes are actually going to play a part in the main game, or if they're just for the Beta so they can track stuff more easily.

    Earlier tonight, the front page was actually loading (I'd been getting error messages right from the get-go before) and I was getting all the way to the name and email details each time before timing out, I figured it was so close I would ave a better chance of getting through. Repeated a few times and got it. I think I could type out my login information with my eyes closed now...

    Then Konami sends you and email with a link to validate the whole deal, which you click on and get that fucking time-out message again! (that one only took about 5 minutes to sort out...)

    Konami ID and Game ID. You sign up for them both at the same time (if you ever get that far), but they must be different! And each have their own password, The Konami ID's password must have letters and numbers, but the Game ID's password may not have any alphabetical characters, only numbers. Both IDs must be at least 8 characters (which sucked for me, as Jandaru is only 7).

    The Game ID is the one you sign in to MGO with. I guess the Konami ID is for logging on to the Konami ID website.



    I like how in Burnout all you had to do to get online was press the Start button.

    Alright guys, I think I found out how to trick the service so that we can all register. I just tried this trick myself and it worked on my second try.

    (I apologize in advance if someone found this out and already posted)

    Step 1:
    Open two tabs in Firefox or your web cruiser of choice...

    Step 2:
    On tab one keep doing the register button until you finally hit the 'enter information' page. Enter in all your information but do not hit register just yet. Position the page to be ready to click next.

    Step 3:
    In tab two click the register button and go all the way to the 'enter information' page. The moment you get to the page click back to tab one quickly and press the next button.

    Step 4:
    Confirm.


    This little trick makes the system think your IP is going from page to page very fast, so it shouldn't give you the time out error. I tried it twice, and on the second go it worked. If this worked for anyone please write back in, I want to know if what happened to me was a fluke.

    If you are sitting within 10 feet of the PS3 or you don't mind adding a USB extension, I highly recommend going with a corded headset. There are some bluetooth headsets that are a real pain in the ass to get working, and even if you luck out with one that isn't, the sound quality is still pretty shit compared to USB.
