i have been to the site plenty of times and it tells me the page has been deleated or something like that when i try to register for the konami id

yup, i downloaded the beta and installed the 1.01 update, just need to get that konami i.d. and password is all......hope  it gets fixed soon

Luckly I went to the page early last week and did not have any problem signing up. I have my ID which is the good thing. I have gone back since then and the site seems pretty hooped. The times have made it into the site, it is mega slow tons of traffic.

First all its stupid that we have to sign up a Konami ID. They can just use the register key that can be generate a random number as our Konami ID. And Second Konami ID and Gamer ID can be the same, so wth is the difference? seriously I wonder who works as Konami programmer

Yeah I actually went by Gamestop to get my beta cd and I'm installing the beta but can't get the Konami ID =[

ive tryed downloadin the damn update for the Beta so many times, im just gonnna forget trynna play the damn thing and hope its not as good as MGS4 so i dont have to buy two games inn June.

Well, that's what an online beta is all about, right? To see how much the servers get flooded with traffic, and then have working servers at the real release.

Yep, I have yet to succesfully register. I've tried at leat 15 times already and I'm tired of trying. Now the site will rarely load for me and it keeps poping up stupid errors.

Whatever, I don't have time to waste on this junk.

I was lucky to get both. I just can't confirm it when they send you an email

@JJJoe

MGS4 comes WITH MGO.  They are not separate.

I guess I was rather fortunate, I only took about 10 tries today to get registered and confirmed.  Can't wait to check this out.

@Norris, what only 20 times? Since yesterday I've tried at least 100 times easy. Except I've only gotten to the screen where I enter the ID I want 2 times. And when I was about to succeed in creating my account I got loads of error messages including I have to have a nick between 8-32 or so letters (which I had) and that my mail was already used (which by god I know it isn't).

I love the "This Page has Expired" error. Even though its the next page after I click the button. Expires before I can even get there.

Konami and Sony and all gosh darn companies out there are as stupid as they come. Every time a high profile title comes out there is an overwhelming demand, one would think Konami would have anticipated this kind of situation and stocked up on a few servers instead of having a server meltdown and pissed off fans.

Wow I reserved it and I didnt get a damn thing I Wuz screwed

I just got a phone call from EB Games, they have my beta key ready for me as I pre-ordered the Limited Edition :D       I can't wait!

For those who haven't kept up. You don't have to buy two separate games. MGO is included with MGS4, its not a different game to buy. Also those who have tried 100 times or 50 or whatever should have some patience. The Beta is to figure all this out and give them an idea of what to look for. I tried dl'ing the update once and it didn't work. I tried first thing in the morning and didn't have a problem. I've tried the Konami ID 5x through the day total and I'll just try occassional until the servers are up and I get it.

Can't wait to see the TV spots for MGS4. I really hope they have at least 2, just like wack as* Halo. They need to show off the game and MGO.

''Throws hands in the air"

 i really want to get my konami id asap and yh they shud reall be looking into serious advertising of this game and sony should join in with this!!!!

i was able to get mine done yesterday afternoon after countless hours of trying...needless to say, konami should have anticipated this and it makes my knees weak when thinking about what will occur once the REAL MGO gets in the hands of the millions of fans...i believe that these current online issues will be small potatoes to the issues that will occur when MGO hits the shelves...IT WIILL BE WORSE!!!

PSN: yungder

I got mine before the issues, so i'm all set. Good luck to those who have not yet got one.

@Draco: Persistace pays off. I've been at it for several hours since the 17th and I finally got mine just a few mins ago. It was worth all the pain and suffering. I encourage people to never give up, show Konami that the amount of players who will bombard their servers come in a huge number.

I spent a good part of my morning on Friday getting my IDs. I tried about 5 consecutive tries, which all failed almost right away. So I walked away, and I'd get a little further after I came back. So, I kept doing that until I got it through.

Hi everyone.I have got my Konami ID.Heres how.I use firefox web browser.Go to view then set the page style to no style.this means less data sent.It should work now although it may fail 1-2 times still.My PSN id is psypathic.MSG or add me if you need help :)

Well it seems like things are working better now. Got my ID and am all set.

I must have JUST been able to slip in cause' I had tried for nearly 2 days to register and then, FINALLY, on my PS3, the Konami ID portal worked perfectly and let me register. Whew!

I keep getting these errors and everything is filled in= :

Fill in all necessary fields then click on "Next".
Fields marked with a "*" must be filled
Please enter a GAME ID password 4-16 numbers in length.
Please enter a GAME ID password (Reenter to confirm) 4-16 numbers in length.

The new servers have finaly gone online. There are still a few bugs though such as claiming your email address belongs to another ID but once you get around it either by deleteing you ID and starting over or directing it to another email address the confirmation goes thorugh. Now all we have to do is wait for the actual GAME servers to go up so we can start pla-- I mean TESTING this beta.

@bnolan: the game password has to be numbers (it says the password cant use the alphabet in blue letters... I missed that too at first.)

Word!

Got mine !

how long is the install? i get to that screen and it won't start or anything. and i get impatient after a minute or 2 and cancel it.

just go at this time of day it works

i got my account made :) as for the beta game it self i downloaded it from the european store its there for free as im for europe for once we get something good and for what i have been reading you don't need a code just a konmai id that's it ^_^

Where could you get the ID man this dam web is not working. :(

The FireFox Autoform idea works like a charm. It's been posted on several forums.

the link to the konami ID website is buggered up =]

its http://www.https.com//id.konami.net

when it should be something like thie https://id.konami.net/login.do

They knew this rush would happen, next time it pays to have more bandwidth in cases like these, BAD PLANNING in my view............

Those of you having problems Signing UP here is the solution.

Step One: Download and Install FireFox

Step Two: Download the AutoFill plugin for FF

Step Three: Once you get in Konami ID fill in the fields right click go  to Auto former and save all fields this will allow you to move a bit faster through site and you don't need to keep on filling in the same information.

Step Four: Once you get the Email Conformation click on the link sent by Konami Note: If it doesn't work the first  time keep trying till it goes through this is how I got mine.

Step Five: Good Luck and Hope to see you in the Beta

i was able to finish for my id buut they didnt send me the confirmation like yet... help????is it suppost to this long???

why cant i see the MGO download on the store?

I am getting so anoyed i am using firefox got the auto fill tool on i just cant get past the enter you infomation like Konami id stage

I tried for about 5 hours yesterday and about 9 today i am still trying
guess won't be playing tommro :(  

i just hope konami is smart enough to just use our psn ids for when the actuall mgo ships with mgs4, or else... that be supper dumb and annoying

Couple people on my friends list have an idea but i can't seem to get lucky enough yet,

Strange, before it said that the servers were not up, but now when I try to enter my Game ID and Password it says that my ID or password is incorrect, which of course it isn't

The MSO is in the european store only seem's like the UK have to buy the code to download it then make a id that is kinda hard to make now and i think they taking it off soon so you better start trying to get it :)

if it says your login and password is wrong its not its just that the servers are down if you keep trying you should get the error saying unable to connect to server nothing else.

Now i'm getting an unable to connect to servers message when a select start game, hope it works by tonight when i get back...

Yikes I guess the beta is delayed now till the 22nd because of the high traffic-but the good news is it has been extended to may 11th instead of the 5th. Wooot. I will wait the extra day to have more play time.

wow.   i thought this would go very smoothley. but, to many people.  go crazy for MGS4 right now because it's coming up so fast they can't wait.  but, i'm sure they will get it all fixed.
