But I really want the making of BD... T___T



As far I know the MGS4 soundtrack is only availabe in the Japanese market, so I guess you pre-ordered one in Play-Asia!?

If that's the case, you'll be paying over AU$31 for the cd + shipping cost (around AU$5)...that's atleast AU$37! Then about AU$100 for the standard game in Oz! = more than $137!!

BUT, if you buy the Asian (not Japanese) Special Edition for about $99AU that will include the CD OS, game in English, Bonus BD in English and manual! + about $10AU for shipping!

Though, not sure if MGO will be region locked!

You may not be able to watch the BD right now, but I'm sure you could mod your PS3 later on so that it'll be region-free with movies (among other things!), which is better than never getting a chance to watch it!

This way it's; Playable, Listenable, Readable, Obtainable and you could just dress up like Snake so that you can have a life-size figurine!!! lol

But seriously, don't buy anything MGS4 until Friday 13th June!!! (Black Friday or Good Luck Friday!!!)...you may get something unex....

The OST in the LE isn't complete anyway. I've always loved MGS's music, so I want the full thing.

Really, didn't know that!?! There are over 40 tracks on the MGS4 OST!

Do you have all the previous soundtracks to the MGS series???

(Off topic: And also the FF OST's?)

Fine then, get the OST...I'll just have to "borrow" it from you for a long long time! (Nah, just kidding. I already know somebody who's getting it!)

...And you can watch the Bonus BD from my LE!

Unfortunately, I don't have any other of the OSTs... I only started using Play-Asia this year, and being a student I don't have much money to throw around. D:

Play-Asia tells me that the BD included with the Asian Special Edition is most likely region A, so it won't work here.

That is correct! It'll only work on US and Japanese PS3's/BD Players!

You could always just wait for a mod for the PS3 to be region free! (for BD movies!)

I wouldn't want to mod my PS3 anyway. Besides, that'd mean I'd have to wait x number of years until I could actually watch the damn thing. I wish they could've chucked in the making of disc at least into the standard edition like with MGS2... :C

There, there, I'm sure there'll be a bitorrent version in the near future. Though I don't know how that works (I don't download that kind of thing).

Don't worry, I'm sure you'll get an Aussie version of the LE version next week!

(I'm taking the day off next week to play some greatness!!!)

No wonder Kojima wasnt happy with "only" 50GB.
I'm waking up early to go get my LE copy considering how badly JB has allowed too many pre orders

Since you're a few hours behind EST, ring up Sydney or Melbourne to find out if there are existing LE copies up for grabs!

BTW, is anybody getting the PELICAN MGS4 BLUETOOTH HEADSET???
It's suppose to be available on the same day the is release (in the US), hopefully we get it too! Though it prolly cost around $80-$100!!!

wow, ive been looking for info about the LE version in Aus everywhere, lucky i found this place.
So heres what happened to me so far, just in case anyones interested, its a long story.

The first time i saw the MGS4 LE was when i went into JB and saw a case that said limited edition on the bottom, so i went to the counter and asked the game person if she knew what was in it, she didnt, but she said there is definataly a limited edition (i was a bit unsure because the price was only $115). Anyway i preordered it, and kept checking back to see what in it with no luck.
A few weeks passed and a mate of mine calls me to tell me that he just got a call from GAME asking if he wanted to upgrade to the LE and that it was costing him $169.
Having preordered it for only $115 and the fact that it didnt say LE on my receipt i was a bit worried, so i called JB and talked to the same girl, who told me that she only had me down for a standard, but that she will fix it up, went in next day and was told its all fixed up.

ill continue on the next post as its getting a bit long..

Anyway, as I didnt trust them i decided to ask around. I went to GAME, who told me that only 20,000 were being made worldwide, that they only got 100 to sell between all the GAME stores, and that they had sold out within an hour of having them for sale (I assume thats because they called everyone who had preordered and asked them if they wanted to upgrade).
Went to EB and was told that they were sold out also.
Then i went to the gamesmen and asked a friend of mine that works there, he said they just found out that they were only getting 12 copies of the LE, and that there were still a few available, so i preordered one ($169), as i still doubt ill get the one from JB.

So ive got two copies preordered, if i do end up getting both, i might put one on ebay (in a $1 no reserve auction). Hope i get at least one.

off topic..
the kp report on the weekend mentions a novel of the first mgs (ps1).
heres a link to an excerpt from the beginning of the book, a conversation between the president [someone from mgs2.. so as not to spoil the game.. if you havent played], Dr. clark [?] and Jim houseman [the guy that contacts snake at end of the game saying he's going to 'clean up']
