MGS4 pre-order DVDs find their way to stores: Some get lucky, others don't

MGS4 pre-order DVDs find their way to stores: Some get lucky, others don't photo
     PS3

At least one anonymous Dtoid editor has been hounding the local game store to no avail, since finding out that the Metal Gear Solid 4 pre-order DVDs have been seen (and obviously purchased by the lucky ones) in the wild.

So far, all attempts to secure a copy for said editor has been met with sighs, laughter, and much rolling of eyes by those behind counter (or so I'm told), but "they" are still trying. For those that have suffered a mind wipe, Metal Gear Saga Vol. 2, as it is called, includes those beta access keys that many PS3 owners are clamoring for. Oh yeah... it also has a few trailers for the game, and some backstory of key characters --  just in case you slept through the other games or got confused by the convoluted storylines and just snuck around cargo ships.

Those access keys will come in handy on April 17th, when you can start downloading the beta for Metal Gear Online. You might not want to hold your breath until gametime, as it doesn't get the full green light until April 21st. Don't worry though, as you will have until May 5th to take MGO through its paces. DO WANT, too?

How much is it to pre-order in the US?

I live in the Uk and I doubt we will ever get anything that awesome :(

Slip the clerk $5.00 for a pre-order of MGS4, and it's yours.

Called about 5 Gamestop's in my Area (Ft. Lauderdale) and no avail. I'm guessing they'll be more available in the beginning of April. *crosses fingers*

@TONX
I called every GameStop and EB Games in the Seattle area and no one knows when the DVDs will arrive. This is whole thing is really irritating me. You and I are in the same boat.

I went to last night EB to ask if they had gotten these in yet, but all I got was some stupid bitch saying she never even heard of it, and if it wasn't on the website then they won't have it.

I pointed out that #1 it is on the website and #2 They hadn't really shipped yet, but some stores had them so I wanted to check.

She still talked to me like I had no idea what I was talking about, and said they most likely are not getting them because she never heard of it. She however did ask me if I wanted to upgrade to the LE.

When I know these are in the stores I'll go get mine, but EB employees should know wtf is up.

I caught word from my DM that we'll be getting them in early April. That's as soon as this week and as late as the 11th.

Nothing gets a nerd going like limited edition pre-order swag! I too am VERY tempted by this and don't even own a PS3 yet. Metal Gear being one of the few series that has made me buy systems in the past. I can't wait.
