Kojima, HMV and Jim Sterling
Tamz | 3:31 PM on 05.23.2008 22 comments


I'll keep it short and sweet:


Metal Gear Solid creator Hideo Kojima and lead artist for the series, Yoji Shinkawa will be singing pre-release HMV exclusive sleeves of 'Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns Of The Patriots'

hmv 150 oxford street on Monday 2nd June at 12pm*

* Please note that due to time constraints access to meet Mr. Kojima and Mr. Shinkawa will be strictly limited. 300 sleeves will be available from the store on the day of the event from 9.00am.

Access to the queue will be limited to customers with the exclusive sleeve only. Sleeves will be issued upon a five pound deposit being made to pre-order Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns Of The Patriots at HMV. One sleeve per customer only, on a first-come-first-served basis, subject to availability.



I'll be there!

Also, Jim Sterling spotted on the latest Zero Punctuation Yahtzee review:

I wish I was still living near London. I'd succumb to the HMV exploitation if only to dry hump Kojima's leg.

As previously mentioned in another blog, i will pay pretty much ANYTHING for a sleeve signed by him...Anyone care to take up the mission for me. You will be rewarded with money and my first born daughters innocence...Erm, ok maybe not the last part...

I really hope they sing a number from Jesus Christ Superstar. That way Sir Sterling will definitely be able to jump in for a trio.

He came and signed copies of MGS 3 when it first came out way back when as well.

I'll probably be there but 300 isn't that many people and I don't know how busy it'll be considering the hype around MGS4 and the fact he's singing at midday on a Monday.

@311grassr00ts:
When the store opens at 9am you have to be one of the 300 people to pre-order MGS4 for £5 ($10) and then you will be given a limited edition sleeve for MGS4 which Kojima will sign at 12pm.

@Demios:
I used to work at that HMV and I know the games guys so I'm going to try and pull some strings to get you a signed sleeve although I can't guarantee anything so don't get your hopes up.

You just potentially made my weekend. I promise not to get too excited!
