Games We Love but Wish We Could Love Playing

According to several Sony PlayStation 3 owners who acquired beta codes as bonus for placing Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots on pre-order, some keys are invalid.
Some people only got 9 digits on their code instead of 12. Making it not possible for them to download the MGO Beta.
Konami is yet to release official word regarding the matter, but for those with invalid codes or having troubles downloading, should send a email to mgobetasupport@konami.com .
Earlier today, we posted a quick news piece regarding the availability of the Metal Gear Online beta. Originally scheduled for download on April 17th, the file for the beta and its update are currently available. While it wasn't possible to create Konami IDs because the portal and website are down, it appears that there's a much larger problem some beta key owners don't have a full key to acquire the beta files.
According to some comment and board posts on our site, some users report receiving beta key codes with only nine letters instead of the twelve needed to activate the download in their Metal Gear Saga Vol.2 discs. While the Konami website does not list this discrepancy, it does indicate that "any inquiries concerning the Metal Gear Online Beta program can be directed to mgobetasupport@konami.com." We tried to contact Konami as to how some of these users could have possibly received incomplete codes but received no comment as of publish time.
We'll have more on the beta as soon as possible.

This reminds me of the time I got an advance beta key for the COD4 beta last year ... only to have my 360 in Texas for repairs because of the RRoD.
I died a little on the inside when I got the e-mail.
Luckily the one I opened had a 12 digit code and I already have MGO Beta downloaded and even updated to 1.01.
I actually pre-ordered it online, but I didn't cancel the order and pre ordered it personally cuz I don't have time to travel much. The DVD's been backordered to hell and back and NOW it finally shipped...I gotta say...I'm glad I didn't pre-ordered it again.
