So I had the game on June 11th and no console to play it on. Even worse was that there were going to be plenty of PS3s come June 12th, in a MGS4 bundle! So now I have two copies of the game. I feel for those guys. ^_^ ^lol

I wonder if those copies signed by David Hayter would turn up on ebay. That's funny, my local Best Buy is right next to Gamestop too, but I don't know if that Gamestop opened for the midnight launch, since usually only stores in major cities do it. My copy arrived today and I just finished the 8-min installation, this weekend is going to be busy! Sounds crowded and lively. I wonder if those copies signed by David Hayter would turn up on ebay.

I didn't stay until closing, but game signing was supposed to end at 1AM. The line was much longer than the guest could serve if they left on time. The funny thing was Gamestop was right next door competing with Konami with a smaller party. @Aoshi00 – There was a long line of people at Best Buy, but I don’t even think all the people there experienced the “event”, which was really getting the game signed.

I was thinking of grabbing the game from Best Buy at midnight too, but then I need to work the next day and it's not like I have time to play until Friday night or in the weekend. Definitely awesome to have the legendary Snake sign your copy of the game. Both David Hayter and Otsuka Akio are great Snakes, I prefer Tanaka Hideyuki's Otacon though. BTW, Liquid Ocelot would be voiced by Ocelot in the US version, while in the Jpn version he's voiced by Liquid, since the Jpn actor for Ocelot, Totani Koji, passed away a couple of years ago. Can't wait to get my copy tmw, this has to be the best PS3 game yet. It’s cool that you guys could go to a launch event, was there a big turnout?
