Releases June 12. Odds are extremely good that I will get one. Odds are not extremely good that I'll get it any time soon. Gamestop only ordered 3, no reserves, and Best Buy is giving them to the first 20 customers, only. I'd really rather not buy it online, so does anybody have any suggestions? Fry's Electronics looks like the best one, at the moment.

Try and reserve it at GameStop, although at this point I don't know if that's possible. Scope out stores close to you and call them up. Check if you have any GameCrazy's near you, in my experience it's a pretty good store.

You could camp out at Best Buy like Metro said, but I honestly don't think there's going to be that high of a demand. You could probably walk in and buy one provided you come relatively early.

Got it. I went to Walmart at 11:30. They had 6th, and I was #4. I had to loiter around awkwardly for half an hour, but at least I got it. I'll be sure to let you guys know how MGS4 is once I play it. There are software updates to take care of first, and I have to get Guitar Hero set up properly. I've discovered that I've improved at GHIII since the last time I played it (also bought GHIII for the ps3).

I bought this game with the system for 500 bucks. I feel undercharged, now. MGS4 is without a doubt one of the best games I have ever played. It makes it worth it to get a ps3 just to play it. It's a shame I can't describe it without massive spoilers.

I played it at a friend's house yesterday on his HDTV. The graphics were so good Otacon came out of the TV and started touching me. It was awkward.

Of the gameplay I did get a hold of, it was pretty fun. Not mind blowing, but I didn't play it for that long. I also didn't get much of the story since he had just bought it and was still somewhere in the beginning (which is fine, I didn't want it spoiled).

Overall impressions were good. I laughed at how it says "Old Snake" under the health bar. Poor guy.

The cutscenes are kinda lengthy, but unlike MGS2, they are filled with awesome. As I type this, I'm watching the final one. If there is a 90 minute cutscene, this is it. The rest are a mix of fun, awesome, and a level of "own" that I can't begin to describe. As for the "90 minute" one, it's a good watch one time through, but I wouldn't grab some popcorn and watch it again.

In conclusion, this game is definitely one of, if not the, best I have ever played. It'll take at least a week to beat it if you're not me (took 2 days). The length is perfect. The graphics make source look sad. Oh, and you play Snake the whole game. Although Raiden does show up, he isn't a playable character this time.

Act 4 was a real surprise to me. I did not see something like that coming. Oh the memories it brings back. Just make sure you've played 1 through 3 before going at this one. You'll feel so left out otherwise.

If I say anything else, somebody will kill me for spoiling the game. If I had to price the game, I'd put it's value at about the price of a PS3. Oh, well how convenient is that? You can get both for that price! :D Get it, and ye shalt not be disappointed.

Actually that's a good thing. Kojima was complaining that the 50GB storage of the blu-ray disc wasn't enough space to fit the entire game. It took them a long time to finally make it fit. Trying to fit all that on a dvd is just out of the question. Well, unless you'd like to buy this:

No, its PS3 Exclusive, even says so when you turn on the MGS4 Game.

But mostly all the other good games are hitting 360 (talking about the massive RPG Announcement a few days ago)
