Haha ... With MS you must pay for the on-line but at least there was no problems during the Halo 3 beta ( and I'm not a xbot ).

You know what Hyrius? You're right...

I don't know why Konami didn't expected that amount of traffic. well I guess that the only thing we can do is wait. Its a pity that they cannot let us see the character editor during the servers fixing.

Last bit is wrong, the EU servers are also down untill further notice like the US.

hahaha sweet, i love this.

I have midterms all week and couldn't play, NOW IT'S DELAYED!!

I <3 Konami

ya i got finals this week so this is actually good for me. i just hope its up by the time im done.

I had to leave my PS3 on all night to download the update and then it took a day to try and register my Konami account. It sure is busy!

I played 10 minutes last night... then the servers went down. However it seems to be a very deep game and the controls are superb

Konami clearly didn't take a hint from the insane amount of traffic on their ID site nearly a week ahead of the scheduled release to do something about servers.  They also clearly underestimated the PS3 community's interest in the MGS series...Well now they know...

ugh, and it was hard enough waiting this long........

What the heck is wrong with Konami ?!

@Hyrius So what you are saying is that if we paid for our PSN service Konami wouldnt of had these problems?? I dont think so.

I wouldn't be surprised if M$ had a hand in this (don't care if it sounds like a conspiracy) but really, they're the opposing company and they know that MGS4 is gonna be  HUGE blow to them. And paying for PSN wouldn't make a difference like it was said before.....hmmm now let's see...how long until the xbots come out of the closet ???

RETARDS wtf havent you ever head of preperation

better be done before the end of the holidays

i have been up all night trying to connect didn't work lol now i see why anyhow i hope they do start the servers tomorrow or today at 00:00 who knows anyhow i did see this happening its true way too many people want to try the game they should have known lol

@Hyrius you are quite wrong. There were several problems on halo 3 as well. A programming error was found on the game Crackdown which brought the beta and no one was able to download the game at beta launch from the game. It took Bungie(Halo's company) one day to figure out the problems. The halo beta was extended because of the problems. Sound familiar?

where do i go to DL the beta?

psn id: gingo.... this is quite a blow but i'm sure they will get the servers sorted out and extend the beta but they should have been prepared

Up to a week late would be fine with me, after all, it is FREE! (apart from our download cap).  The extension to the beta is compensating, plus we'll be able to play 24hrs as it is open worldwide and not just in the US!  All all win win for everyone....once it  starts working! :)

wow. i have been out of the lop since  last thursday. this sux for people who have online.  maybe this also is a way for gamers just to play MGS4. it sucks thiygh. but, now i have a better chance to get highspeed internet in my house and join in.

Hyrius, Actually you sound even MORE like an Xbot when you claim not to be one especially when you seem to claim it's better to PAY for a FREE BETA TEST.

Forthe record the beta is being run by Konami so even if it were on the 36* the problem would have setill happened because Konami still would have underestimated the demand and not had enough servers set up for the test.

I told you. I told you.  You wanna know whythis has happened?  Why everyone keeps underestimating the PS3 fanbases numbers?  All the negative hype last year.  People think PS3 adopters bought the system for Blu-Ray.  Period.

After all the hassle that went into registering for this!!!!  At least they did not go along with releasing the beta causing everyone to have a terrible time.

PSN: yungder

Well, in retrospect, we're getting delayed one day, and gaining 5 more to play. I'll take the delay.

Hey Hyrius, can't you read...the servers couldn't handle the OVERWHELMING demand. There was a great demand for the Halo 3 beta, BUT not overwhelming. I have an  xbox and Halo 3 wasn't a must own(or play) for me....and believe this I wasn't the only person with a 360 that felt that way.

urghh i left my ps3 on downloading whilst i went to school and got to 95%

That really does blow harder than a porn star!

Hyrius your an idot. I would have said something but Alpha said it for me. I hope the US beta stats this weekend

Konami knew this would be highly anticipated, but the thing is, Konami didnt know that probably 99.9% of the PS3 army were trying to gett down with MGO that night....lol

All I can say is good call for the beta Konami.....If anything this reasures me that the final product will be top notch.

People say "at least with xbox you see where the money goes with online play"

I think Warhawk and Ressistance are probably among the best quality online games for nex gen consoles.......And guess what, we dont pay nothing for that service.

Dont that tell you something xbots lol......?

like was said before they should have antisapated the huge amount of traffic just nowing about how popular it is should have prompted them to have more servers and than the traffic on the site should have told them also.

damn u guys couldint of u guys wait a day to register so i can play its ur prob for trafficing the site. Na im just joking it was a big let down to stay up all night to download that update i hope they dont make update ver. 1.02 if they do i will go to Konami and  give tham an xbox
