Some of the MGO beta codes are fucked up.
Pedro Blandino | 11:54 PM on 04.16.2008 27 comments



I do not know why but my metal gear online beta code is missing the last 3 digits and the PlayStation network claims my code is “not valid”. I made sure that the its right and try submitting this code for at lest 20 minuets before I finally figured out that Konami gave me a incomplete beta code! And apparently, I am not the only one with this problem. I'm sending a e-mail to Konami right now. But this pisses me the fuck off!
*End of whine here*

Teen Idol's Destructoid Blog
That does suck.
DarkTravesty's Destructoid Blog
same thing happened to me a few days ago. so i went out and got another dvd and it worked. so now i have one used code and one incomplete code missing three digits. i'm now in the process of updating the mgo client to v 1.1 and am at 98% using p2p connection (going ass slow) since the direct download link game me errors.
AngelsDontBurn's Destructoid Blog
Yeah, I have another friend of mine telling me a buddy of his got 9 digits too. I was like "wtf?"

The update DL was SLOW AS HELL!
Jayeugene's Destructoid Blog
MAKE SURE ITS IN CAPS... oops... i mean.. make sure its in caps... thats why mine wasnt entering correctly
Pedro Blandino's Destructoid Blog
the caps is not the issue. its im missing 3 digits to my code D:
Jayeugene's Destructoid Blog
oh! crap! make some up? lol you only have a one in a many many thousands chance to get it right. That really does suck though... pretty hard...Konami fails at this for sure.
Toneman's Destructoid Blog
So you only got a 9 digit code? Bummer.
animateria's Destructoid Blog
I got mine from the DVD...

They had broken beta codes on the DVD?
Pedro Blandino's Destructoid Blog
yes i got mine from the dvd.
Redzie's Destructoid Blog
I have a 9-digit code, am I screwed?
I dont have a PS3 to test this on maybe in a couple of days.
Pedro Blandino's Destructoid Blog
well my code dose not work at all. and konami hasn't e-mailed me.
007's Destructoid Blog
Maybe... it's Maryl's codex number???
Toneman's Destructoid Blog
Yes, if you have a 9 digit code you're screwed. It should be 12 digits and look like this: 1234-5678-9012
aj2good4you2's Destructoid Blog
its been said that there was a printing error so this problem is actually quite common. the gamestop i work at had like 20 people calling in today to complain. luckily mine had all the digits
Pedro Blandino's Destructoid Blog
mine looks like this 1234-5678-9
kawitchate's Destructoid Blog
i've heard if you have a 9-digit code you might be able to download it if you've got a japanese account.
Kryptinite's Destructoid Blog
Lucky for me, my code worked. Which is awesome.
wrathofwarlock's Destructoid Blog
if your not living in japan it wont work :/ i found out the hard way
Gameboi's Destructoid Blog
I'm in the same boat as you. I should've known something was up, when it ended in a "J."
Genki-JAM's Destructoid Blog
Balth feels your pain.

I'll try to snag a couple extra beta keys from my local gamestops for you and someone else..
king3vbo's Destructoid Blog
I got lucky, mine was all 12. That sucks
Jayeugene's Destructoid Blog
Hey, guys... since you are claiming that its a Japanese code... then why dont you pull the ol' make a japanese account on your ps3 and download the beta from there... it should still be available for play on your primary ps3 account!!!!
Genki-JAM's Destructoid Blog
@Jayeugene

Because in order to get it you need to set up a JP Konami ID that uses real PS3 JP info. Konami has been checking to see which people have real info and which people don't and have been deleting their Konami ID accounts and taking them out of the beta (you need the ID to log into the beta).
sNsKid's Destructoid Blog
I too got a 9 digit code and still no response from Konami.
Pedro Blandino's Destructoid Blog
yeah, i called konami and got BS back about e-mailing them -_-
liqideos's Destructoid Blog
IF this was a year ago, we would all be loling at the fact that Sony's make or break title for the platform was plagued by a logistical nightmare.

Nowaday, heaven forbid a blogger has his 360 brick, and its BAAAAWWW City.
