PS3 Fanboy

yeah. Everyone is having that problem. Konami's ID site has been destroyed by the millions of people rushing to create two seperate IDs needed to play. I have been trying since wed. night to no avail.

go to the playstation.com Metal gear forums to see the carnage.

I tried to get my Konami ID all day today, started at like 7:30 am and refreshing ever 15min or so.. still have yet to get it- keeps timing out

I cant believe you have to register with Konami to get stupid ID's to play the beta. I have spent hours trying to register and got nowhere so far. Bloody stupid idea. You dont this sort of crap on xbox betas. I would love to meet to idiot that came up with that idea.

What does capcom have to do with it?

You emailed Capcom? Have they told you they hate the PS3 yet?

What's the panic anyway, the beta doesn't go live for another 3 days.

email capcom? about a konami game? why? O_o

lol! I didn't noticed I put in capcom. Guess my frustration awakened my hate for Capcom. Anyway I just received my new beta code. Downloading right now. Send the e-mail to the mgo konami support with your incomplete code and they will send you a new one. The e-mail appears in the same page as the code.

you cant if your outside the eu, well you can dload it but it wont work if your outside the eu mate.

anyway, 3 hours of p2p downloading the update, and its at 13%-there goes my night of vapourfield fun!

yeah I was thinking about that too.

@gordon_strange: what exactly did they put in place to stop us from using the beta? If we set everything to look like we're from Europe (with the exception of our IP address I guess, since the PS3 is region free - in which case, European proxy), then shouldn't we be able to join the European open beta?Or is there some other US-blocking system?

One, because it's illegal.
Two, because the lag of playing european servers would be huge.
Three, because Konami have measures against that.
So far I think it's only checking your IPs country of origin against the country you want to sign your Konami ID against, and only allowing Konami ID's from correct countries into the beta.
But even that means if you're an American and you create a Konami ID with your favourite nickname and set your country as Europe, and manage to sneak through into the EU beta, then when the game launches in the US you'll have to create another Konami ID to play.

you acutally can play the EURO beta when its live.
the only thing you need to do is select UK when @ id.konami.net
its up to you.

where

Email Konami customer support (mgobetasupport@konami.com) and give them your invalid key. I did that, and within a few hours received the remaining characters in my key. Tried it out, and it worked fine. Download's complete, now all I have to do is update...
