[MGO] Beta late than never [ninja edit]

I've had wonderful news this morning and something that all PS3 gamers in the EU will be happy with.

Konami have announced that when the PS3 firmware update 2.30 is launched along with us getting a newly designed PSN Store and a few HD Audio option we will be able to download ther Metal Gear Online Premiere (MGO)  beta.

It looks like this is all happening from 17th April 2008 on wards but from what I have read the actual beta doesn't appear to open until the [23rd wrong] 21st April 2008. The news states that it's going to be running for 2 whole weeks. I need to confirm this as I'm trying to get the time off.

If successful and I know the exact date it starts then ater a week off work I'll be as hairy and smelly as Big Boss after a week in the Jungle. But hopefully not as Grey haired as Old Snake.

Roll on next thrusday and I'll let you know what my first impressions are of the new store and hoopefully MGO.

MGO Premiere beta available from UK store now but see comments.

The MGO beta download is now live, sadly I can't get the patch to download so I can register. The beta does have a trailer, as well a very long list of terms of service.

Finally I've got the Metal Gear Online Premiere Beta patch which makes the program upto Verseion 1.01.
How long has it taken me to do this wonderful think. Well about 12 hours. Now that is stupidf. I'm guessing that it's down to demand.
Now for the next major issue. The game boots and I have 3 options:
1) use a Konami game ID . Which I don't have.
2) Create a Gamne ID, it launches the web broiwser to Konami,jp. Which displays a message saying the servers are two busy.
3) Online manual. Which leads to a display saying there is no content for the EU manual and be patient.
I think I feel a sainthood coming on.

I've felt like I'm being treated like an unpaid Sony beta-tester for 13 months now and what have I discovered that game companies have gotten very sloppy and lazy. They neither judge demand or seem to fix issues untilt the game games grief from the gaming community.

Konami please don't make the same mistakes as Infinity Ward have done with CoD4 issues.
