Should of gone to xbox 360!

Its not to late....

oh, because Live never has issues like this. Lets be honest, this happened because Konami tried to please too many people, before they were ready. Dont blame PSN.

well said mike. all you 360 fanboys can take a hike cos developers are sataring t abandon the 360 now because the ps3 is moving in. anyway i trired the beta test when i got home today at 2:00 gmt and it said unable to connect to server. oh well guess we will have to wait.

Goes to show, with Sony rebuilding their online aspects, that Microsofts massive wealth of experience in the on-line sector could prove to very beneficial to X-Box owners everywhere. Will such problems push developers of on-line feature heavy games away from Sony and into Microsofts welcoming embrace?

Nooooo! I see another update in the works! It took me 6 hours to actually download the trial, then another two days (of leaving my PS3 on for hours!...but not the full 48) for the update!

Why did it take you so long to download it?? It took me 3 1/2 hours to downlaod the game and 2 to downlaod the update! Even with Microsofts Xbox Live, it would take all the current dedicated servers to cope with the massive amounts of demand-resulting in no other games working! Developers won't abandon Sony because of this! Besides, theres a reason Sony has an annual revenue (And Profit) four times that of Microsofts!

The real issue is that Konami are trying to do this on their own servers. Had they asked a platform holder this would never have happened . PSN is just the front end as I see it, its the Konami servers in Japan that are tripping out.
Had the same problems, the Japanese one is just about alive!

The real issue here is that it's a BETA. People are lucky to even be allowed to beta test anything and if you've ever used a beta product and never had a single problem with one, you are in a very small minority. It just happens that this is a public beta, and unfortunately that means all inevitable problems are also released to the public for people, like Dan above, to get off on news like this.

Incidentally Dan you should have said "Should have...". It's not "should of"... Of is a preposition and in "should've" (which is what you mean) , the "ve" is a contraction of "have". Maybe if you spent less time on your XBox and more time in school you'd know this.

@ QWERTYRULEZ

I honestly dont have a clue! I have a good connection speed and I can download stuff pretty quick. Eveyone else I know (in person) have had the exact same problem.

I cant believe you managed to download so quick!

Hark

Some of the posts on here are hilarious!!

I dont agree with the 'IQ' bashing on Dan by comment '8' but I do agree with the point that this is a BETA. If I had a PS3 and wanted to get involved with MGS online, I'd much rather experience these problems with a BETA than with a finished copy of the game after parting with £50 for it.

However, that said, I can see this happening again at launch day regardless.....

@ 10 & 11

I dont own a 360 so dont think I'm a fan-boy but I challenge you to name a full game that is available to buy right now on PS3 that looks better than the 360's best offerings.

Seriously, Halo 2?

You might have well have mentioned 'Two Worlds' or something....

I dunno......

If this was on the 360, the whole of Microshaft would explode, their servers can barely cope with Live, yet alone another beta...

take COD 4 beta for example, that was almost a complete disaster.

Deary me, fighting like school kids over consoles, seriously girls, get a frigging life outside of the net... People who read your comments are laughing at YOU...

****, this is what happens when you give away a free beta :

Oh god, I didnt realise. You guys reeled me right in....

Right, I'm outta here........

Damn fanboys.......

OMG!

Screw all of ya! It should have been on N-Gage!

"I dont own a 360 so dont think I'm a fan-boy but I challenge you to name a full game that is available to buy right now on PS3 that looks better than the 360's best offerings."

How about Uncharted or Gran Turismo 5 Prolog to name but two... I don't own a PS3 but I have eyes..

Downloading the Beta = Fine. Downloading the update = fine (albeit slow).

Forcing every gamer from US/Europe to create a Konami ID through a SINGLE website ... hmmmm

got game download and the update (5hrs) and eventually managed to create a konami id then start game only to find konami delayed start. this is completly a konami issue all psn did was provide the door thru to start downloading from konami, and that was the part that worked.

as for the whole xbox ps3 nonsense no one cares, you buy the machine you want and many buy both. would any of us benefit from 1 console going under and having microsoft or sony able to charge higher prices and give less choice as a result. Its like mac's & pc's, everyone knows macs are superior but bill gates insist on catering to the *special* children

No my joke was should of gone to xbox! this was a take off of the spec savers ad!

Now if i had the time or could realy b bovvervd i mite try and spell ok! you get me like!
c where i coming from the street?! REwind!

I dont care if its xbox Fu£cking up for ps£!

I will be getting my blueray box when it has shock3!

PS i have a girlfriend and we have sex alot lol!

@ 16

I cant really comment on 'Uncharted' as I havent played it properly myself but I didnt think it looked much better than say, Gears of War. Which baring in mind was released a year earlier.

Gran Turismo 5 prolog isnt a full game.

GT5prologue is still 20hrs gaming and then the 16 car online racing on top. Its a full game in everything but name

I had no problems downloading,uploading and updating.I had a slight delay in getting my konami id but manged to get 1 for each of my ps3(two).Its a popular game; konami should've anticipated the level of interest,but from what i gather kojimas staff have always directed their efforts to the japanese consumers(from what kojima himself stated in an interview).I guess now konami and kojima pro will realise MGS4 & MGO is a global phenomenon

my connection is perfect. im signed in to psn and any time i try to enter mgo on the game it exits totally out of the game.please help
