Winnie said: Maybe we could try preordering from New Zealand instead? Delivery wouldn't be long at all, so you could probably still get the game on release day. Anybody know a place to get the LE from NZ?

Please Let me know if its a Limited edition version and how I can Pre order,Thanks Winnie.

Guys, this may not be an out of stock problem. I asked JB in adelaide and he said there is some kind of problems with the LE in Australia and asked me to call back in a few days. I don't believe that the LE is so limited that we can't pre-order for it. It doesn't make sense that atari doesn't want to earn more money from selling the LE. I hope I'm right.

Keep us updated, man! I know it doesn't make sense, so let's hope that this is all a big mistake that will be fixed up.

the eb site seems to think it is.. though i realy wouldn't have a clue what they classify as their LE.. and i don't personally trust eb online

I did notice that i can get the Us version of the game for about $80 NZD ($50 USD) off the Us Konami site.. just a SE of the game.. but i'm paying $100 dollars for my preorder!! if you don't mind a Us version, or the '1-2 day' wait, or the region lock on Mgo (if it goes by game Sku), then you might wanna look at that..

I'd rather get a PAL version of MGS4 mainly because of MGO.

I guess all we can do now is hope for the best. :c

I guess. There's nothing else for us to do. Demand is higher than expected and not everyone is happy so maybe Konami will increase the number of units. I mean, 20,000 worldwide is hardly anything at all.

Looking through my email inbox, I found that I had emailed EB back in March about MGS4 LE. THEY DIDN'T TELL ME I COULD PREORDER IT EVEN THOUGH IT WASN'T ANNOUNCED!

RAGE REACHING CRITICAL LEVELS!

Hi, I am a bit behind but I just found out the bad news too. however I think I have found something of a compromise.
A) buy standard edition with metal gear saga 2
B www.cdjapan.co.jp/ buy the cd soundtrack seperately
C) buy a figure seperately, if you have the cash buy one of these
kotaku.com/ alternatively minatour in melbourne usually stocks some MGS figures
D) the soundtracks and artbooks for previous games have all been posted on torrent sites and it is fair to assume this will happen again. I personally like to have something physical but it is still an option for some

they are the main things I wanted out of the limmited edition and they may be available elsewhere.

I'm still pissed I missed it though

I got a reply from EB Games New Zealand and this is what they had to say:

Hi Matthew,

Metal Gear Solid 4 releases in Australia & NZ in June this year.

You can pre-order the limited edition from any of our stores.

Thanks for your query

Regards

Kathryn

However it looks like you can't order online, so good news for our NZ brethren but probably another dead end for us
