    The headset I use for my PC doesn't work. I need to go find me a PS2 usb one or a cheap bluetooth one tomorrow. Hmm...

    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.

    I have a PS2 one that I bought when MGO first came out with Subsistence, but it is either 2000 miles away, or buried in my closet. I am in no mood for either, so I am just gonna search for a corded one tomorrow.

    I downloaded today and I'm updating now. With any luck I'll make it through the oft maligned ID process before Monday.

    When it booted up in 1080p, I was giddy.

    Finally got my ids.

    PSN = Harakhti, Konami ID = Harakhti, Game ID = Horakhety. No on the headset.

    I think I might be missing an id.

    This is the most god awful system ever implemented. Whoever thought this system would be a good idea should be hung... by their balls.

    I just went through the ID registration on my PS3...it went totally fine and painlessly the first time. Guess I got lucky?

    PSN Xander51
    Konami ID kxander51
    Game ID xander51

    Good luck to everyone else! Maybe this is a sign that things are going to finally work again? For those having trouble, have you tried going through it on your PS3?

    Do we know if Konami ID's are universal? I live in Japan and have a Japanese beta key, however I have an American Konami ID. Any word if I'll be safe or not? I'd rather not have to go through that form in Japanese.

    That's a very good question. The guys on 1up Yours were talking about how the closed Japanese beta also used the Konami ID backbone rather than PSN so....maybe?

    Dunno about Japan, they had a closed Beta earlier on in the year. I assume that the UK and US will overlap as we're all getting the Beta at the same time.

    EDIT: God damn it I've crashed on the confirm page 5 fucking times. Fuck you Konami, fuck you and this useless bullshit.

    Might I just add a big huge Fuck You Konami for all this Konami ID bullshit? I don't even really care that it took me 3 days to registers an ID, it's the very fact that it's there that fucks me off. There's no fucking need for me to sign up for that shit. I should be able to boot the game up and use my fucking PSN ID for everything. Christ, I feel like sending an angry email to Ryan Payton.

    Try my trick
    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 they don't have one I am going to freak. Going out of our way to make all this, they better be offering something unique that they can't do with PSN accounts.

    (however if this was only for the beta I wouldn't be that mad)

    Yea, I meant for the main game. Not having it in the beta is understandable if the entire point is to test whether we can break the game 5 minutes in. I just want an easy way of snapping some of your necks while grinning like a madman.

    Like I said last page, that is a little too complex. All you need to do is get the Autoformer plugin for Firefox. When you right click on a field you can tell it to save all fields and the next time you get to the page you only have to click next. Took me two tries and a total of 3 minutes with this method.

    Still no key yet. They never replied after telling me to send my key in the email, that contained the key.


    Anyone know of a website that has working preorder keys stocked, now? I might just end up having to throw another five/ten dollars down, if I want in. I'm going to send one final email, but I seriously doubt anything will come of it.

    That was one of the first things I did. According to the guy who was at the counter when they opened up, he had gotten an email saying that all their keys were bad. The only other gaming store is hours away, so it's more trouble then it's worth, if it comes down to that.

    So either something's wrong or I have the worst luck ever. No matter what ID I put in for konami/game it says they're both unavailable. I put together the most random string of words and still it's unavailable. I'm using lower case, periods, hyphens, underscores only. Between 8-32 characters. I'm about to give up. I'm even using the two tab trick.
