Over on the
IGN boards, a forum poster uploaded pictures of the
Metal Gear Saga Vol. 2 DVD and stated that these pre-order bonus discs were ready for pick up. However, we gave several local Gamestops a call yet none of them have the discs up for grabs. Chances are your local Gamestop wouldn't have them either, so don't bother calling. For those who don't know what this DVD is, it's a documentary highlighting a part of
Metal Gear Solid's history; it is only available to those who have pre-ordered
Metal Gear Solid 4 from US retailer Gamestop.
The poster also revealed some information on the upcoming beta test for
Metal Gear Online. According to a slip within the DVD case, the beta will be available for download on April 17 and will run from April 21 through May 5
.
On a related note, teetering fans anxious to get their hands on the bonus DVD might want to double check Gamestop's website. They've been listing a scrumptious limited edition version of MGS4 for quite some time now. Better check that one out if you're a real hunter of all things collectible.

It does when you phone the higher ups, which I did. Saga vol. 2 is expected to be good with any pre-order. There's no reason not to, it's a separately packaged disc!
If you're having trouble with store clerks, just be nice and butter them up. If you're a regular, they should recognize you (if not, let them know!). I always get stuff because I'm nice. You will to if you can harness the power of positive thinking! Buy my book ... er scratch that last part. ;)

Are you implying that this offer does not apply to Canadian gamers?
Oh well, at least I tried.

I guess they will have it just because it has French language on it. I don't think they would have taken the time to do that for the US only.

The SAGA 2.0 is supposed to be a Gamestop exclusive...only problem with this is that the Gamestop/EB employees tend to screw things like this up when they are uninformed (which 1/2 the time, they are). So be careful about gently reminding them to give this to you and stay on top of it.

Do what I did and shell out $30 for the Metal Gear Collection. It is so worth it. SO SO SO worth it.
Seriously. Do it. If you havent played MGS buy the collection. It will make you a better person.

Hell (is hell a curse on here), buy MGE if you HAVE played all three. I used google checkout, so i got all three games for $20. Maybe i'll save them and sell them for $100 100 years from now. :)

I resent the comment about gamestop employees being ill informed.
