UK retailer HMV apologises over Xbox 360 listing of Metal Gear Solid 4

August 06, 2007 in News comments 10

In an update to last week's controversial Xbox 360 listing of Metal Gear Solid 4, UK retailer HMV has clarified that the posting was a mistake and has issued an apology for any trouble caused.

A HMV representative told GameSpot, "In his enthusiasm, one of our online games team indicated that hmv.co.uk would start taking pre-orders for MGS4 on XBox 360, when, in fact, he simply meant to ask customers if they wished to receive an alert in the event of this title one day coming out on this platform."

He continued, "We're sorry to have caused such a stir--the oversight has now been corrected. He is now sitting on the naughty step."

        Not cockyness, confidence. Besides Kojima has the final say where the games stays or goes.

          Do you personally know Kojima? Do you go around his house for a social gathering and so on? No? Didn't think so, therefore I find it hard to believe you can have SOOO much confidence in someone you don't actually know, therefore I believe you to be cocky.
