I Want Metal Gear Online Beta, And I Want It Free... Oh Wait... That's What I Get

Krunal | April 11, 2008 | News | Playstation 3 
That's right folks... you heard me right. We (and by this I mean those of us in Europe) will be getting the Metal Gear Online Beta for free, and without the need to pre-order like our American counterparts. A definite good news for those that were wondering if we'd ever get it. As for when it starts, and how long it lasts...

Well, we all know that the Playstation Store will sport a new look coming this tuesday, and on the thursday, one of the updates to the store will be the MGO Beta. Available from the 17th April it will be on the store till 6th May. So everyone happy downloading...

...And for those that are shouting at me since your not from the EU and you think this news doesn't apply to you... think again. As we all know all PSN content is region free, so it really wont matter if you download it from the EU store or not... unless of course the new changes made to the store, also adds a connection check which pretty much stops people downloading demo's and content from other regions...
“The beta phase features two maps, four gameplay modes, the SOP System that encourages up to 16 players to team up and share information, and deep skill-customization. Also equipped with auto-matching and training modes, the game offers players a sneak peak of this totally new approach to console-based competitive gaming.”

        Threespeech is an official Sony blog site.

    The DVD that came with my pre-order today was just motivation. I wanted to pre-order it so that I know I'll get the LE, but I was going to wait even longer...this way, it's better.
