Why don't you buy a new one and then return it or sell it on Ebay once you finish MGS4, that way your only loss is going to be minimal if at all. Thats what my friend did when his 360 Red ringed on September 21st, and he is the biggest Halo fan. He fealt the purchase was necessary.

Right guys. i have completed the game. Feel free to ask questions, and later on I will provide a completely spoiler free impression on the entire game.
But to some it up, this has now officially become my favourite game ever. I cannot think of anything bad about it. Gameplay is short, and long, depends how you want to play it. Took me 22 hours to complete. But I did sort of rush it. Next play through will come swiftly, and with greater detail.

Dabookerman could you please tell me where you managed to get yours from because i too live in the UK so they are not out yet. If you could link the site it would be much appreciated. I want an optimum Metal Gear Solid experience. A couple of days ago i got a letter from GAME telling me to collect my pre-order pack and Saga dvd, i was so exited. Carrying the package home was immense, with the MGS4 name on the front of the envelope.

The rumble is excellent. I can safely endorce spending £30 or so just for this game. I am really glad I bought one :3

Well, I can't afford one right now with rent due and all that. I can barely afford MGS4 too. Should I sell some games to get one or can I do without it?

I would hate to miss something akin to the Psycho Mantis MGS1 scene.

Thing is, I bought it last week!
I bought it from a friend of mine who didn't have much time for gaming anyways, so he sold me with a good pack of games for a good price.
Now you'r prolly thinking, "ah, Mmm, a used machine, then prolly the thing was broken before". but nope, it was working perfectly, as far as I can tell, and I googled a lot into this matter, this can happen to ANYONE and ANYTIME, both to 60gb and 40gb models.

Hmm, I dunno about selling games just to get it. But this game is one of the best examples of using the Dual shock rumble. It depends how important rumble is to you.

Isn't there some sort of HDD fix for this?

Don't think so... It's a lens problem.

Thanks, looks like i will just use my sixaxis. I am using the extra money to pick up the guide and solid eye headset. I was going to buy the EU LE but i only wanted the soundtrack so double the price seemed steep considering i don?t like figurines. Really hyped for Thursday.

Nope, downloading it now... but I doubt it will work.


Simo, amazing dude, thanks for sharing. I'll probably make a poster out of it, and put it in my room

And what about the soundtrack? Is there a great 'James Bond like' theme song again? Just like im MGS3?

SNAAAAAAKKKE EAAATERRR, I really loved that song :D
Click to expand...


I was just listening to Snake Eater on the train ride home. :D When I first heard a sample of it I thought I would hate it as much as I found out MGS3 was based in the past, however now MGS3 is my favorite of the current MGS games out now.


Anyone see this?

MGS4 Bluetooh Headset review'd

I do not know if anyone considers the headset a spoiler, if you let me know and I will remove the link. For anyone who does not want to see the video of the headset, basically, it isn't good, sounds muffled and rather bad. I think I'll have to pass on it.

I think firmware 2.35 helped solve some of the disc read problems when it was released. Hope it works for you.

Really? Mmm... Don't want to get my hopes too high, but yeah, I'll try it! :) Should post the results here soon.

Btw, that comparison video is great, the final build is way better in every aspect. Plus, i also love the music they used in the background of the video, "Old Snake"!
