Good news about the release date. Hopefully they don't go and censor the game cutting out Snake's butt in lycra or the women with ridiculously low tops (I'm looking at you Naomi Hunter!)

Wow, registering at that Konami site is a whole barrel of not fun. I don't know whether the site is slow because everyone in the world is registering or what, but I'm pretty sure I could get out and push the Internet faster. And why do I need a Konami ID and a Game ID, and why can't they be the same, and why does my Game ID password have to be numbers only?

Honestly I'm not all that excited for MGO. The storyline has always been the thing I liked best about MGS, not the gameplay.

So did the Australian press release mention anything about requiring a beta code like America? Or can Australians just download it?

It will be open to Aussies on the store, no code.

It is early (for me) and there is no sign of it so far. I'm really excited about this.

I was one of the lucky few who played the first beta (my friend had it), so it will be interesting to see how it improved. If you're lucky Kojima might be playing, he'd be the guy in the tux.

No sign of it yet. I'm let down.
