It also comes with an 8 x 10 lithograph according to Amazon. I'm planning to get it although I haven't decided where from yet. I really like the cover of the regular version too though.

I reallllllyyy hate how Konami is handling the LE in Europe. It's going to be basically impossible to find one in here Ireland. I'll have to hope for one on Ebay.

I'm glad I didn't see those fake ads or whatever since they're a part of the intro. I'd rather see them when I first play the game.

Thanks for the info. Yeah, I'll probably get it as well. Just hope I can avoid using it during my first playthrough. Don't want to come across anything I didn't want to witness before it happens. I also don't want to start playing it as a "game"... meaning: I don't want to start trying to collect everything and avoid moving on thus ruining my initial experience.

Here's the Edge review in a capsule:
- great AI
- multiple ways to approach the missions
- great controls
- great shooting
- too complicated story for newcomers
- lengthy cut scenes
- simplicity of some objectives
- the game isn't what it could have been or should have been, but no reason is stated
- game doesn't appeal to reviewers who didn't enjoy MGS2's ending (refers to himself)
- score is apparently better than in new hollywood movies, fitting in perfectly with action
- Liquid Ocelot is a superb villain
- maps are a trifle small
- game encourages explorative play by hiding items in every hidden corner
- the arsenal is humongous, you can build different Snake over and over again
- again, there are tons of different ways to play
- Drebin points are a proper way of incorporating weapon collecting
- Otacon is being described as a gaming (non interactive) revolution, due to the way he looks and acts, he's called a star of MGS4
- iPod is a great addition, especially for fans
- this game is made for fans "...If you sat in lockers while footsteps came and went, or basked in codec conversations without once checking your watch, MGS4 is your just reward"
- using mkII is essential for stealth gameplay
- amazing visuals, only flaw is that textures look significantly worse up close
"With enough exposition for a dozen games, the epic mission briefings at least keep your senses busy, wit advanced camera control and, through the MkII droid, the chance to hunt for Easter egg and equipment".
This review is actually a glowing review written by a non fan.

Put your snobby liquids into my mouth!
I hope the FoxDie bit is not a fucking spoiler. Or else...

Sorry to re-post, but isn't there some deal at GameStop going on or coming soon where if you trade in a PS2, Memory Card, and a Controller towards a PS3, you get $80?

Yeah, it basically just sounds like if you aren't a big fan of the series then it's a possibility that you aren't going to enjoy it as those big fans. I say possibility, because the P:TOM reviewer said he isn't a MG fan at all and MGS4 is now in his top 10 favorite games ever.
Interestingly, while people are using the Eurogamer and Edge reviews as a way to downplay the game, those reviews actually contradict each other.

"...action here is remarkably open, the AI honouring all kinds of approach. Opt for stealth[...] and the battle focuses on chokepoints and patrol paths. Side with the militia, firing at PMC, and the call goes out for reinforcements, waves of enemies sucking down your bullets. Judgements are saved for when the game is over, prompting you to do things differently across multiple difficulty levels. Factor in the twin bars [...] and you have a game fit for months instead of days."Mets39 said:

You got the artbook?

I thought it was 19.99?

If there is a hardcover one I will buy it.
neojubei said:
Yeah, I already mentioned it but the EB Games in the Eaton Centre (Toronto) has them. Just show them your LE pre-order receipt.
It seems there's a hardcover version, or at least that's what the coupon states
- A frame-ready 8x10 Metal Gear Solid 4 Guns of the Patriots Lithograph
- Exclusive bonus content written on-site at Kojima Productions in Japan (??)
- Stunning hardcover packaging

Damnit! Why did i cancel my preorder in hopes of going to NYC!?
Oh well, hopefully the Limited Edition that's being shipped has it
neojubei said:Nice post some pics, man.
I don't have a camera but it looks like this: http://youtube.com/watch?v=oA2xUxj1D58
Not an artbook persay, more of picture book maybe. It contains a timeline plus some written content on the game including The Beauty & The Beasts, equipment, etc.

On Amazon it's described as paperback though.
edit: in the detauls section it does say it has a hardcover. Weird. As long as it's the same as the one at EB/GS, it doesn't matter.

Edge and PSM3 says the game does have 90 minute cutscenes while TTP and GamePro say it doesn't. So I guess it just depends on who you choose to believe. Although TTP and GamePro both mentioned that it does have long cutscenes, just not 90 minutes long.

Edge review also mentions the 2 hours long MGS2 ending sequence. It's entirely possible that when he says 90 minutes cut scene he means 90 minutes long sequence.SolidSnakex said:
