For those of you who simply can't get enough of everything MGS, there's surprise for everyone tomorrow on PSN -- an official Metal Gear Solid 4 Database. The Database is a "free, downloadable interactive application that contains the official knowledge base of everything that is Metal Gear, reaching all the way back to the very beginning of the franchise." In other words, all the MGS lore you could ever want in one free official package.
In consideration of those of us who haven't finished MGS4 yet, there is a feature that eliminates any and all MGS4 information for a spoiler-free experience. They also added a camouflage and a new music for the in-game iPod under EXTRAS of the main menu for immediate download. It looks like Konami has a lot of MGS4 DLC up their sleeves, we can't wait!

LOL, me too. I'm on my third time through.
First time I went through with a combination of stealth and shooting, but mainly stealth. I had a fair amount of continues and alerts at the end of each chapter.
The second time through I just wanted to re-watch some of the early cut-scenes, so I ran through on easy mode as fast as I could, ignoring weapons and just knifing anyone in my way. I thought, "hey, I wonder how fast I could beat it by ignoring enemies and just running to the waypoints?" So, I beat it again that way. Not a fun way to play it really.
Then I heard you could beat the entire game without killing a single person. So, that's what I'm working on now... also trying for zero alerts at the same time.

I know having MGS1 from PSN would be pretty cool but you do know that for 30 bucks you can get all 3 previous titles in a pack (same with hitman and DMC). So I agree we should of got it too but at least we have a decent option for not just getting 1 but 3 MGS titles :D.

PS3's firmware was updated today specifically for PS1 titles.
Gee, I wonder what that means... possibly so that the US version of MGS1 will work properly or something? Seems likely to me. Sony has been doing a pretty decent job of giving us what we have been complaining to them for lately, so I wouldn't be surprised at all if MGS1 was in tomorrow or next week's update.

I wish they would add MGS1 to the PSN as well. I've been wanting to be able to play it on my PSP actually. C'mon Konami, having that on PSN is a license to print money!

Nothing you said had anything at all to do with what I said. Were you talking to someone else?
What I was saying is that it's possible that we may get MGS1 soon, seeing as MGS4 just came out, and we got a firmware update that was specifically geared toward PS1 title compatibility.
I'm not excited about Home at all really. Not unless they release an open beta and do it Gmail style before the end of the year.

Thats wicked cool. Some of my friends have only played MGS1 so they are way behind when it comes to story and how person a links to b and them most likely to c.
I have the older games and they plan on playing them once they run through 4 but this will get them up on the story and understand whats going so they can really get the full enjoyment out of 4.

Now that is motivtion to get my PS3's internet connection working again. I haven't had any urges to play MGO since MGS4 is so good and I already experienced the beta, but this I will download tomorrow in case Konami slaps a price on it later.

Japanese saves are different from US saves. That's probably why. Just wait a few more hours and get the US version of the Database

Working on beating extreme with no kills / alerts / special items under 5 hours for the big boss face camo, it's ROUGH! Online play is hella addicting too! Leveling up your skills and the character customization is awesome! MGS4 takes the cake as the greatest game of all time in my opinion. The soundtrack, gameplay, online, replay value, graphics, storyline, voice acting, it's all top notch. Go HIDEO!
