Konami: Retailers will honour MGS4 street date "no matter what"

Posted on June 5th, 2008 at 07:50 EDT

Konami has revealed that it has been working closely with retailers to ensure that the street date of the upcoming Metal Gear Solid 4 is not broken prior to its launch on June 12, confirming that retailers have supplied written agreements ensuring that the date is honoured "no matter what."

Speaking with MCV, Konami’s UK General Manager, Pete Stone, commented: "We pride ourselves on working closely with retailers and have a continuation of the singed agreement system we used so successfully before.”

"All major retailers are supplying written agreements that they will honour the street date no matter what, making it a level playing field across the board. We all want the game to be a huge success, and for everyone to benefit from this release."

Furthermore, Stone revealed that the publisher has taken steps to ensure there is enough stock to meet demand, adding, "With demand for MGS4 at such a high level, I am delighted to confirm that we are continually manufacturing stock to meet the phenomenal demand.”

“We want to make sure that everyone gets a good allocation of what is the key PS3 title of the year.”

Stay tuned.

So does that mean the first to play feature that you get when you pre order with GAME is out the window? thats one of the main reasons i buy from GAME,  and the fact that along with loyalty points and vouchercodes it works out cheaper. We will see!!!

They have a "singed" agreement?  What tune do they "sing" it to? :)  Or do they mean it's a "singed" agreement as in burned?  Is Konami hinting that the may retailers sign a pact with the devil in order to sell their games?  Oh...the horrors! :)

@ gingo

One or two days isnt going to make a whole lot of difference there.  You also have the option of NOT listening to people spoiling the game, NOT browsing the topics that discuss it, NOT watching the YouTube videos, so this really isnt much of a problem.

Bah! nothing but hot air! Store employees will get their own copies and play them as soon as they arrive, some will no doubt give copies to their friends early to... Konami over looks the fact that most of these guys that work in video game stores arnt qualified, honnorful pros but random gamer joes...
