I hope your kidding ... The disc is nothing but trailers and back story ... Has nothing to do with the Beta at all ... The answer is yes ... i think you were kidding tho

Disk has nothing to do with Beta. Its just a documentary on MGS. As long as you have the insert with the beta code on it, you are fine.

Is Game ID the ID other gamers will see on the beta or is that the konami ID?

The poll needs another option: "Only received a 9 digit code...hence the ID is useless to me right now."

i made a konami id awhile ago, but neglected to make a game id, so i had quite a bit of trouble getting into the site. i kept the page open at work and would try every half hour, finally got through during lunch 3 days later.
brad, you don't need the disc read the instructions on the sheet you got.

Need another option for very difficult but still trying. Over here in the UK people are finding it very hard to get a Konami Id the website just keeps failing and getting error's. I have been trying since thursday and still have not been able to get past the D.O.B page.

Konami should have exptected this. How very unprofessional and amature to 1. Have people sign up for a separate ID and 2. Not have their website/servers ready for the major load increase... this is only the PS3's most important game. Get your act together Konami!

Where's the option for "Still unable to get ID?" Every ID I try is already taken no matter how many random letters/numbers I add.

It came up with that for me too - just don't worry. Unless you suspect someone else might actually have your name, then don't bother changing it to something else.
What worked for me (after hours of trying) was getting the AutoFormer add-on for Firefox.
Once installed, go to the Konami site and get to the page where you fill out all your details. Make sure they're right, then go Edit>Autoformer>Save all fields. Then click next. It probably won't work, so try again, but this time all the info will be filled out already, so all you need to do is click next. Just keep doing that for a while and hopefully you'll get through.
I read somewhere that if/once you get to the confirmation page (directly after the info fill-out page) then you have to click 'next' STRAIGHT away once the page has loaded or otherwise it'll error, so thats what I did. You might want to as well if you don't want to risk losing the opportunity.
Also make sure that your Konami ID and Game ID aren't the same thing, and that your Game ID password is ALL NUMBERS.

Yeah, need an option for I've tried, but have not yet succeeded. I'm not super hyped about MGS Online anyway. So, I won't die if I don't get to try Monday. Hopefully by at least next Monday I get to try.

Same here. The game isn't accepting my Game ID!
And of course I am unable to log onto the konami site to check my settings as it is half broken!!!

Uk here. been trying for the past 3 days. still no luck. In all fairness they shouldn't advertise such a HUGE event if there servers cant handle it. and they dont seem to be in a rush to fix it. Not looking good for Konami really

If MGO uses KID (Konami It Dumb) then will get any of cash for add on's.
If use PSN then hell yes I will pay.
KID isn't up to the job. Now it can be proven.
Everyone who wants to play this demo has to be connected to PSN. This is working without a problem.
Everyone who wants to play this demo has to be connected to KID. Working when wants to, good luck as you will need it.

Getting a replacement code took awhile especially through e-mail. Luckily I got a Konami code and such awhile back.

Where is the "I still dont have a fucking ID because the Konami website is a giant bowl of donkey douche fuck? option? And seriously, why the fuck do we need ANOTHER ID? Every other game on the the PS3 doesn't require ANOTHER ID.. what a load of shit.
